Ono - Oh Yes?

[Spladle08]

But also *Fun topic, really am excited to see how he does in Folk, just I have "top 15" expectations... where others have title contender

It was a wrestle off between two 133’s for the weight Blaze doesn't go, between a senior world champ, and a redshirt who beat the NCAA champ and only one to win U17, U20, and U23 world gold.  Thats some pretty high level competition.  
 

Some people just get so unhappy in their lives they have to tear down young adults they don’t know from Adam, solely because of the singlet they're wearing, to feel good about themselves.  The tendency is discussed a lot in the world of human behavior.

Has Ono wrestled internationally since coming to Penn St? Is he planning on making a run at the Japan Olympic team? Seems like he’s hurting his freestyle chances wrestling folk in the US.

The amount of virtue signaling in this post makes me uncomfortable.

Olympic weights are 57kg (125lbs)/65kg (143lbs)  going up to 141 for Folkstyle and adding some mass would be more beneficial to his chances in 2028 than continuing to wrestle around 133....  Having said that, obviously there are some drawbacks to not wrestling Freestyle year round, but I'm sure the financial opportunities he's enjoyed these last few years offset any worries he may have.

Bruh...

Apparently, he'll be wrestling in December for the Japanese Olympic Team spot at 57KG next month (they determine their team a year+ out).

Depending on the legal situation, he's not wrestling for PSU until (at least) January 2027.

So he won't get beat 13-0 Thursday at 133 like Wrestlestat says?   Can I get my money back?

Sometimes, even often, we need to be made uncomfortable in order to grow.

@WrestlingRasta don't know if we've ever crossed paths, but you're an interesting cat. Glad you're here talking rasslin. #Cheers!

Are you trolling? 
Yes he crushed worlds during an olympic year... who did he beat?  Vito? Congrats so did Julian Farber. 
(YES winning a world title is awesome, but take a beat and look at the bracket he "destroyed" as you put it)
Who participated?

Yes, he beat 125lb Spencer (I think all step out points), yes he beat 133lb Davino at RAF (with no takedowns), IN FREESTYLE. How does that translate to 141 Folkstyle?
Are you telling me he can't be taken down by small guys or he can't take down small guys?

They aren't going to be trying to gut him, just tilts...... 
Ankle/leg passing (funk), isn't a thing in Freestyle because it exposes your back. It's everything in Folkstyle currently, I don't understand the assumption that somebody who has caused Davino and Lee to step out of bounds 3x each in the last 2 years is now a master at a different kind of wrestling. Maybe he will also win the Olympics in Greco in 2028 (he's got 2 years, he could learn) 





 

He beat Uguev and Vito (at the time defending World champion) Worlds. The Worlds are another level. It's shocking you would accuse someone of trolling for pointing this out.

Neither Lee nor Davino could take Ono down. Think about that for a second. Nobody is taking down Ono. 

The latest rumor is Ono will be starting at 133 in the first duel and Desmond at 141. Unclear why Blaze isn't listed as projected starter.

I just heard the same RE Ono, but that Blaze may go 141 on Thursday. Guess it will be known when they weigh-in and then who is sent out.

Bible stiff.   Bah.   Is this the Snyder thread ?   I swear he said something publically like…. When I find myself in trouble, mother Mary comes to me.   I can’t be certain though I don’t watch post match interviews much.  Don’t consider that a quote.

Yeah that was the interview where he forgot Ono’s name. Called him something like a general?  Whatever it was he was pleased to meet him. He never guessed his name.

No that was the documentary of Ionel vs. JC’s  life as a band of Uncle John’s delightful dancers on Shakedown Street.
