headshuck Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but the casual fan might be scratching their head.
ionel Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Don't know about that but at least he never said "pinfells." 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC
JimmyCinnabon Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Shane is a weird dude. I love him but he’s strange but I love that he’s quirky and I just think saying Resilite is just one of his quirks. 2
1032004 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Not sure if he gets paid specifically, but pretty sure they’re the “official mat of the Big Ten” or something. There was one match where he mentioned the name of his contact that worked there.
Powershouse Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Ha, I’ve been wondering the same thing!I’m guessing that it started as Shane being Shane but I’m sure Resilite loves it.

lu_alum Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Has Sparks ever been to Northumberland PA? I used to drive by their location all the time when I was younger. I can remember wrestling in the Resilite tournament as well. Every time he says that, I find myself wondering if the match is actually taking place on a Resilite mat? I find his use of the brand (as a word) to be analogous to Xerox, Jell-O, Band-Aid, Post-It, and Kleenex.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It does not necessarily mean each of the member schools use Resilite mats. Michigan may be a Resilite school... Wisconsin is a Dollamur school... Edited February 10 by lu_alum
1032004 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Apparently Iowa’s mat is neither, it’s the “Mediacom mat”
billyhoyle Posted February 10 Posted February 10 It’s strange and I’ve never seen it for any other sport (who makes basketball courts? I have no clue).

I don’t think the Houston Astros are the supplier of artificial turf. Maybe I’m wrong though.

Caveira Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I would hope so. We talk about growing the sport. Sponsorships are part of that. Shane is good for the sport.
