greco doesn't need legs to get a TD against actual greco guys much less MMA guys...

Not sure what you are trying to say here.   Using legs is against the rules in Greco.   You are penalized for doing so.   That might be why they don't "need legs" to get a takedown, using legs is against the rules!

so...

the boy and i were watching the fights saturday...

we lost count how many body locks were achieved against the cage, but, no TDs...

none of the fighters had the body awareness or strength in those positions to finish an easy TD or to do any damage in those positions...

we lost count on how many rear standing positions could have had the fight ended if any of the fighters had the body awareness or strength in those positions and could have dropped one of them on their f'n head... like literally smash their opponent with the octagon and begin the end of the fight...

that is what i am getting at...

strength in positions that very few have...

strength in positions that lend themselves to MMA...

but...

MMA never gets true elite athletes in their primes, so, it is hard to point to a specific example...

i just remembered...

how excited are you guys for vlasov wrestling in april?

@scourge165 who is it he is wrestling again?

i am struggling to remember right off the top of my head...

can you help a brother out?

I PROMISE you're not making the point you think you are...because even if I DIDN'T know, how hard to you think it'd be to figure it out?

Roman Vlasov vs Akzhol Makhmudov!!!

Wow...that...that apparently means something...I guess? Do I get bonus points for mentioning how absolutely ridiculous it is that probably the most well known American Greco Wrestler of all time is coming back...again in his 50s?

Gable tried to come back in his prime and Kemp shut him down, but not in the MANLY style!

 

Seriously, what point are you making? That I don't follow Greco that closely? I mean...I don't. I love Wrestling and that shit is boring.  When I see guys like Provisor and Thielke and Holm making world teams...it's just not that impressive OR exciting to me. Now we can hammer this to death with a Greco fanboi because his kid Wrestle's Greco or you could just shut the ***duck duck goose** up about it already? I'm really just fine with either....brother.

it means that you do not know greco at all...

i just wanted to get down to the brass tacks before you go back to just being fodder...

thanks for playing your role, brother...

Yeah...I guess because I don't follow the current landscape that means I don't "know Greco." Again, wrestling it for ~8 years, 4 times at Fargo, WTTs, being an All American in Greco, wrestling in every State Greco Tourney from 5th grade through HS, every Northern Plains(winning most in both)...I must not "know Greco."

-ESPECIALLY not as much as someone...who again never stepped on the mat in ANY style!

OR...it could just be real simple. I-DON'T-AGREE-WITH-YOU...and you somehow can't accept that? 

Now you can go back to being a clown(well...not so much back as you never stopped, but I wanted the continuity).

stick around...

you can actually learn what real greco is...

i am not guaranteeing you will ever "really" get it, but, you will definitely be exposed to it...

 

who do you want to learn about first?

what weights do you "identify" with"

let's start there and i can ease you into the light...

 

i am not kidding...

just let me know and we will work through this together...

i got you, boo...

I gave you one. Whichever is closest to the weight YOU wrestled. Then you can teach me about the sport that...I actually participated in.

Sure...I guess that's an argument. Things are a BIT different now than they were 100 years ago when he started out. Guys hadn't spend 10+ years by the time he started coaching them.

i do not "bash" the women's style as much as i just do not respect it as much as real wrestling...

As you don't respect...I guess "fake" Wrestling, I don't respect you...so why would I want you to teach me something I'm ABSOLUTELY positive I know more about?

[LJB]

@scourge165

i really got to focus on work for a couple of hours...

if we don't hear from you i will just pick a weight...

complete with anecdotal stories that i bet will help you "relate" to real greco...

Holy ***duck duck goose** dude...3 straight posts.

Yeah, you're DEFINITELY not the guy who can't take a hint!

Can you show me that SUUUUPER exciting match where the Greatest Greco Wrestler of all time gives up his first points in a decade(though...they of course weren't) because he...adjusts his hands!
