We already know Johnny D is going to win no matter what. He was submitted as the initial entrant by USA Wrestling at 65kg to the Pan Ams OG even though Nick Lee is the incumbent world team member. UWW even has his photo on their tweet announcing the tournament. The fix is in!!

What were the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, then?

Is it possible that Nick Lee withdrew ... or is this wrestle off at 65KG still on?

Definitely possible. Maybe Carl thought this was a dual and we all know how he feels about duals...

USAW did not want to deal with Cornell's lawyers.

I am not on Twitter and I cannot find the lineup on the USA Wrestling website. Would you mind posting the link outside of the tweet?

There's only two kinds of people: those who watch X videos and those who lie about it

Pinned it in the first period like every other challenge that thinks it can overcome the force known as Amit Elor. But in all seriousness, the cut has to be tough and I while I understand the business side of things I wish she would have stepped up to battle the GOAT. But methinks there were reasons in the room that said "I'll cut down."

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

The Cuban entered at 57kg, Osmany Diversent, is the guy who lost in the semifinals to the Colombian at the Pan Am Games.

Zane then beat the Colombian in the Finals by tech fall. 

This gives Zane some folks to actually target. There's the caveat, though, that Yianni is listed as the American entrant at 65 kg, and that is still an unsettled question, right? So, it seems that this may be similar to the "probable lineups" that the coaches put out before college duals. Yet, the official rules provide that the "Deadline for Final Entries" is January 25. Hmmm. Maybe that's just a deadline to enter your country?

Entries can change up to three hours before the draw for the style.

This is a good one. There are (4) types of people in this conversation:

1. Those who watch X videos and don't lie about it
2. Those who watch X videos and lie about it
3. Those who don't watch X videos and don't lie about it
4. Those who don't watch X videos and lie about it

I know, I know, it's a wrestling thread, but expand your mind and reply to a post made on this thread.

Question here is "who are the (2) kinds of people" that bnwtwg is referring to in that last post?

Cheese and rice leave it to the quakers to ruin a good thing just because they live in Utah and don't realize

Nothing here to calm down about... just basic logic.

 

A lot of people posting here. A good opportunity to share some good will. No wrong answers.

Maybe start with you.

I've posted the (4) logical choices. Which were the ones you were referring to in your post?

As I see it, there are two kinds of people in the world:  those who divide people into two kinds of people, and those who don't.

Clever... but there are men and women... so God already kind of did that quite a long time ago (mostly.) It's a done deal.

Do you have a link for this, WKN? I didn't see anything on the official schedule, just the "Deadline for Final Entries" that I mentioned above. Cheers!

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I came to post backing Yianni. Turns out he doesn't need it.
