This Musukaev?

 

[Yellow_Medal]

Who are some of the other big (or at least known) names (to most American fans anyway) who weren't (aren't) there at Worlds this year?   
Yazdani, Chamizo, Sadulaev (visa issues), Musukaev, Petriashvilli, Dake (lost domestically), Burroughs (lost domestically), Akgul, Micic, Ono (at Penn State), Arujau (lost domestically), Salkazanov, Taylor (retired), Cox (retired), Myles Amine
Perhaps some of these faded into the sunset .... ? Or a changing of the guard?

Musukaev wrestled 70kg

I don't have a take. Takes are opinions.  I don't have one here.

Saying the score was the score is not a take.  Saying the score wasn't the actual score isn't a take.  You can value offense more than counter offense.  That's a take.  You can't say the actual score was 20-3.  That's not a take.  It's simply wrong and has been the whole time.  

I hear you on your opinion.

It is still wrong.

That’s true. Get him on Ghasempour’s strength training program or get him in with the Russian State Lab and he will be fine ha

He needs to train with Brooks I guess

Yazdani is still recovering from his Olympic injury. 

Geno was contacted by a flo personality, he said that he's taking a year off to celebrate his Olympic Gold medal. 

Akgul was given a cushy administrative job (president of the wrestling federation) and is retired (that type of culture helps explain why Turkey is so down in Freestyle).

Anyone have pics of 2023 184 lb Aaron Wegman's to put next to one in the 2024 Olympics or OTT?

No false grocers, no Walmart or anything else. Only Wegman's itself!

I have to think it will be. Amouzad has looked amazing for about 4 minutes, but that’s not going to cut it against Kiyooka. 

Well that aged poorly lol. I guess if you wrestle amazing enough for 3 minutes, that is good enough!

Well, he didn't need to be amazing for four minutes.

The post-197lb version of Brooks looks bigger than the 184lb version of him.

Also that angle is craptastic in the first picture.

yes and yes.  Can you imagine 97 kg Brooks, pumped to the gills full of Wegman's DNA and buffalo wings?
