Is Iowa style still a thing.

[Threadkilla]

When everyone had the same inflection in their voice and sounded just like the Brands boys, they always seemed pissed,  mashing dudes face in the mat oob.  It was a moxy thing.   Other teams would fear them.  It doesn't seem like there's an Iowa style anymore.

I listened to the Iowa Hawkeyes radio broadcast of the match.

During the 149 match, when Parco was fading under SVN’s assault, Mark Ironside said, “I know he’s in better shape than that.” He couldn’t imagine an Iowa wrestler being outconditioned by anyone (ignoring the fact that PACE is literally the thing SVN does best).

The entire program is stuck in the 1990s. Coaches, fans, announcers.

Just after 56:00 in for the start of the discussion re: Parco.

During the 165lb match, Ironside seemed genuinely perplexed by a normal wrestling move.

Paraphrasing, from 1:35:38 or so. Second MM scoring sequence:

“They’re so good at re-shots. I guarantee they practice that on a regular, regular, regular basis. They all do it. … it’s not defensive wrestling, either. It’s like they’re using it as offense.”

Iowa style NEVER goes out of style!

"Iowa Style" is ubiquitous. They just don't have anything close to monopoly on it anymore.

Iowa style was clubbing & shoving.  With new stalling rules it doesn't work anymore.

When did that happen? I remember Iowa was famous for locking up and pushing forever.

Well they used to just push guys out just to get the stall calls.  Rules were changed so the guy pushing, if thats all he was doing, could get called for stalling on the pushout.  I'm thinking that was ~10 year ago but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Iowa isn't even first there.
