@D3 for LU, @ILLINIWrestlingBlog, @nhs67

Yeoman's work this past week and a half. Thank you for all the commentary, pbp, and info.

@Jason Bryant

Thank you for filling in so many blanks.

And for everyone who wasn't in the arena, I got a chuckle from the Serbian announcer. He started out fairly monotone, but the began to mimic JB's more weatern style (or maybe it was a different announcer). Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But you win the announcing game by pinfall.

[D3 for LU]

Pleasure is mine, WKN!

A ton of tanxs to you, sir!

Rale, the Serbian announcer, is a local TV broadcaster and is one of the more known guys in Serbia sports television. He gets pumped for the Serbians (as is allowed for the home country) and he’s been fun to work with. He’s been doing this a while too - he’s not really mimicking me. He did the same kinda thing last year.

I guess we will have to wait another year for the glorious Kazakh national anthem.

87 final perfectly fitting end to this crazy ass tournament this week. Holy hell, Greco was fantastic.

Especially if the wrestler named Bolat wins!

"Everyone stand for the UWW anthem" was the funniest thing I saw this week.

But did you take your hat off and stand at attention while placing a coller tie on the person to your left?

[D3 for LU]

Doesn't the picture of 55Kg world champ Eldaniz Azizli ...

 

Kind of looks like a miniature likeness of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine?

(Ya gotta say, yes!)

Instinctively I did stand. And then I thought, "what the hell am I doing?"

And the Afghan gentleman to my right was busy telling me how much better Afghanistan is since the Americans left, so I was too diatracted to throw a collar tie on my wife.

I mean... Hugh Jackman is a supersized version of the Wolverine.

I really want Daniel Radcliffe to be Wolverine.  It makes so much sense.  Put him on the Captain diet.

Yes!

Now, they got it right with the monster who plays Reacher in the TV show.
