Takuto_Otoguro Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 It's funny. All of us freestyle fans are so disappointed and would love to see him continue wrestling. On the other hand you type his name into twitter and WWE fans seem to almost unanimously hate the guy. And not they hate him because he plays the bad guy character well or whatever, they legit just think he's lame and not interesting at all on the show. I don't follow WWE but I thought he would be a big deal in that world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 for LU Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) ... so you're saying that Gable IS the dead parrot, an ex-polly, a polly-gone...

I mean 4 and 5 point wins over Parriss at final X didn't get my hopes too high. And to say he doesn't have the "Scared" factor over domestic competition would be silly. I still think he beats 95% of heavies. But I think Geno and wouldve been a hefty challenge. Edited September 11, 2023 by Spladle08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody else on the planet can do that to Parris and this weekend you will find that out as well. "I know actually nothing.

Brother, with all due respect. That "take" ain't worth a used diaper. Parris will be fortunate to medal, and I feel he has evolved beyond 100% relying on his short-firemans/dump, which hurts his likelihood of defeating the "Big 3" . He ain't outwrestling them for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iranians are great at one thing and good at many. Zare won't be as athletic or fast and might not be as strong. I hope I prove you wrong. If you are correct, I will tip my hat to your know-all. Just know that in the last few years these are the results Deng had against the other 'Big 3' Heavies... Lost against Akgul via 5-0 Decision Lost against Zare via 3-0 Decision Lost against Petro via 5-2 Decision Parris just beat Deng via 5-0 Decision. Using Steveson as a common opponent... Beat Akgul via 8-0 Decision Beat Petro via 10-8 Decision Beat Parris via 6-2 Decison Beat Parris via 5-0 Decision Edited September 11, 2023 by nhs67 1 "I know actually nothing.

nhs67 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Actually looking in to recent results about other opponents... Hungary's Dániel Ligeti: Akgul won via 3-0 Decision Petro won via 7-4 Decision Parris won via MFF after being up via 8-4 in the 2nd period Italy's Abraham Conyedo: Akgul won via 4-0 Decision Petro won via 11-0 Tech Parris won via 10-0 Tech I hadn't realized that he has very recent very common opponents and compares as good in each against world class gents. Let us not forget he is 1-0 against that field and that 1 is when he penfelled Zare after he was winning via 3-1. Edited September 11, 2023 by nhs67 "I know actually nothing.

Everything he did there indicated he is ready to take on the best in the world. Don't let a couple losses to Steveson at Final X make you think he can't hang with Petriashvili, Akgul, or Zare. 2 PNWfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
