2023 World Wrestling tournament...

[goheels1812]

Damn. Was really hoping Kid Dynamite could take out Sidakov. Seemed like Sidakov was very well prepared for the chest wraps….

[jross]

That Dake match score was baffling.  Sidakov was jobbed but it did not change the outcome.

If Dake had tried anything except a chest wrap for the entire tournament he would have been better off.

In his final four matches he failed on every chest wrap attempt he made.

Yes.  The world is aware of it.  The thing is, he has plenty of tools.

Lol dake "won" the challenge and in doing so lost by 3 instead of 1 lol I will admit seeing challenge won had me second guessing things for half a second!

Yeah right ? For that situation to come out 8-7? Trying not to hate on them but, just impossible. It doesn't work. The math don't math

The criteria for winning a challenge is simply that the score changes.  It changed, so he won it.

As he showed when he got to his shot. Wish he would pull the trigger more but we have been saying that about Dake for a decade and he has done plenty of winning regardless...

Thought the same thing. He was determined to go to that no matter what, even when it wasn't there.

The entire planet was well prepared for them.  The. Whole. Planet.

Micic is taller than Abakarov while Abakarov is standing on the medal stand and Micic is not. HAHAHAHA

Correct, just a bit of a bait and switch moment when you see "challenge won" then watch the score go in the "wrong" direction lol

The replay was pretty clear.  As he rolled over his back (2 points additional for Sidakov), Dake did not force him to break 90.  Had he gotten him to break 90 while doing it, I think it would have been 2 points the other way instead.

Updated team score predictions:

Really great to see that USA will win the team title both officially and unofficially.

[gimpeltf]

Did the Serbian crowd leave? I don't hear much. Sounds more like the Americans cheering.

[scribers]

No way micic knows the words to that anthem. Milli vanilli could do a better job 

[jross]

I don't recall Dake exposing Sidakov even once during the exchange that netted him 4 points on the first challenge.  It was baffling.

Dake’s style at the world level has become increasingly more agitating. And it’s why magic man has surpassed him. Anyone who’s ever watched Dake in his career knows he can do so much more offensively. But he’s content to try and win every match against a competent opponent 3-0 while hugging his opponents in chest wraps as often as he can. I have no idea why he’s decided to pigeonhole himself into that. Meanwhile, DT says I’m going to pour it on anyone, anywhere as much as I want to. I wish Dake would start wrestling with that mindset.

His chest wrap is fine. Clearly, Dake should have done more sunrise leech therapy to get rid of the endurance sapping worms hiding in his his teeth.

Maybe it should be termed Challenge Accepted and/or Corrected

So he either loses 10-7 or 8-7 either way.

I like Erica Wiebe as an announcer.
