Kyle Dake’s been wrestling for so long, his first NCAA tournament was held at the Colosseum. He went 4-0, but lost a team point for refusing to shake hands with Julius Caesar.

Don't forget the "aging in reverse" jokes!

My feed cut out for 10 seconds. I’ve watched everything so far. I guess I’m lucky?

I will never pay for their half assed product.  Get a VPN and be free of flowrestling.org.

It actually sounds like a UWW issue according to Gimp.

My VPN was excellent.  No issues.

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

My own particular issue is my foot hit and accidentally unplugged my desktop in the last 7 seconds of the match as Dake was countering the duck!

According to ancient Greek mythology, Zeus once granted a young wrestler named Kyle Dake the gift of eternal youth.

But there was a catch. Dake would never age, yet every four years he would have to prove himself worthy of the gift.

For thousands of years, Dake traveled the earth, wrestling kings, warriors, and Olympic champions.

Eventually, Zeus grew tired of watching him and thundered from Mount Olympus:

"Kyle, it's been 3,000 years. When are you going to retire?"

Dake looked up and replied, "I'm just entering my prime."

Zeus shook his head. "That's what you told Milo of Croton."

Huh?  Why can’t you watch it?  Some stutters but it came through.  Also, read Gimp’s post above.  Rage much?  Sound like a petulant child.

Because until Flo starts refunding prorated to outages, the outrage will continue.

It's never their fault.

Yet hundreds of other broadcasters have figured it out.

Folks love for other folks to know about their outrage...

Because I'm trying to watch it on the only device I have available at the moment, my phone, and the streams don't even load.  It just says "an error occurred" for every stream.

Same to you Dark Energy...strong stance to take when you have no idea what someone's talking about.

Can we all just enjoy that Dagestani wrestlers keep losing.  I have an obnoxious friend who sniffs their farts so this has been a glorious couple of days

Such as? I'm not understanding who all broadcasts from across the world using the internet.

Do you honestly think no other countries broadcast the UWW platform.

Come on, man.

Not sure who these hundreds are but if you're referring to ESPN or the like- they usually film from larger, better arenas. NCAAs, for example, are at professional team arenas. Flo is typically streaming from HS/mid to lower college or civic arenas.

I'm not the expert. I'm asking a question...

[BaldAt23]

Are they onto the bronze bouts now?

They look like they should be raising a barn in Pa!

Is this event streamed from a high school gym? If so, I'm glad you cleared that up for us.

But I don't mind paying for Flo.  Sometimes it's spotty, but honestly, it's a non-mainstream sport and they provide decent coverage.  It's not a massive cost.

Are they wearing shoes? Or going barefoot like some guys from El Salvador?

No, but the point is Flo has nothing to do with the local internet. Flo is passing along the UWW feed. I'm watching their feed and the UWW people are telling us the internet issue is at their end.
