Woods looks healthy. And he looks tough. Didn’t know he is going to medical school. I think it always nice to learn a few things about these wrestlers off the mat.

He already in the right place to learn how to stomach seeing a lot of injuries.

Someone needs to tell "Rotchy" that his name just isn't spelled right. This isn't a Lee-Roy vs LER-OY distinction, his name is a crime against language.

Woods still doesn't look right, it may just be his new normal.

Not disagreeing, but how so? Thought he looked about how I'd expect against an outclassed opponent. Got a little sloppy on top a few times 

[Mr. PeanutButter]

This is some sloppy wrestling

[Hammerlock3]

MCL....

Well, Rachey may have just removed himself from the post-season.

Desanto injury to Rathjen, Iowa always gets hurt as they're being taken down. 

[VakAttack]

For example, no reason for Rathjen to be wrestling this match if Iowa was ducking.

[JuanMogen]

They're really taking that takedown away from the Great Zargo? That's some straight up bullshit. Rachie hurts himself, and that's his ticket out?

[VakAttack]

Lol.  Classic weestling injury to full recovery. Very Russian.

[Kov88]

Wow, looked like Zargo had that takedown before the “injury”….. seemed like a BS call from the refs

Desanto was actually hurt...hard not to call "drama queen" on rotchy

[JuanMogen]

The Great Zargo needs to take a page out of Real Woods' book and go for the keylock.

125 was clearly a duck, so far.

[buckshot]

Rathjen's injury went away just after the restart but he was somehow limping again after the final whistle. It's almost like Iowa is softer than ten-ply and either duck or cry to preserve their seeds.

Or he's sick.  That is a reasonable explanation.  I know we're supposed to always believe the worst, but it's not the only expectation.

If he'd had locked up any kind of pinning combination Rathjen would cry like a baby to get a stoppage.

No not at all. Other teams have done it too and I like b & moan no matter who does it.

Get ready for a nap, it’s Franek time.

Who doesn't want to see a Bono Brands brawl at some point during the meet?

He overwhelmed an outmatched guy, but the motion and technique just look off to me.  Been that way for several weeks now, looks different than even he looked earlier this year.  Concerned this is just who he is now for whatever reason, presumably injury but no way to know.
