Who knows, but seeing as this is the international forum I don’t think that loss really means anything as to where he stands in freestyle right now. He got out folkstyled. That was a tech in free.

please explain…he got taken down …he didnt lose by riding time…they were on their feet almost the entire match no?

And it wasn’t like he won the Olympics in par terre either

It is interesting that he is so good at wrestling but doesn't seem to really love it. He could be one of the top guys in the world for a while. Just an interesting character.

No.

My best guess is that you're saying some WWE performers will try to make the Olympics in wrestling.  But that is both implausible and out of left field.

Maybe he could have been or maybe not…he beat Gino but certainly didn’t dominate him…has he wrestled any of those guys since? In wrestling, you never know who is THE guy until they actually do it…his resume is very thin imo…he is a two time ncaa champ and world gold medalist which was won with a terrific comeback…that is not GOAT material by many years and many tough matches…that is potential yes but the road is littered with such people

It was on Olympic gold which has more currency.

In addition, at his young age he’s also been in a WWE ring, played in an NFL pre-season game, is frequently on television with his bank sponsorship, has many other product sponsors. Not too shabby for a 24 year old.

Do you know there are no escapes in freestyle? That there is a shot clock? That there are things called step outs and exposure that get you points?

He kind of did. It was the shortest Par Terre in the history of freestyle.

i don't want to take anything away from gable's run to the final but geno obviously didn't think there was enough time after the restart to end up on his ass and didn't bother mounting a real defense and he thought wrong

Well, for Gable, he has not fared well in anything he has tried.  Which is unfortunate.    Perhaps he should do something else like accounting or engineering, or software writing, computer design, or interior design or landscaping, or car dealership, or asphalt sealing, or tree cutting, or welding, or fabrication, or dentistry, or dog boarding, or something else besides what he has been doing.   The world is his oyster.   He can do whatever, but what he has been doing hasn't really been doing much.
