Iowa getting another crazy dad?

This is reminding me of another classic Minnow moment when he cried about Tyler Kasak's mom being mean to him when she simply told him to not post anything about fake articles involving her son.

But this is a slightly diff twist.  This is someone bringing minnows nonsense to the board and regurgitating his drama.

Doesn’t Minnow have a long history of being thin skinned?? Makes poorly sourced outlandish claims (like Jimmy) and then deletes them, blocks anyone who even remotely challenges it or brings it up.  This msg could’ve been “I respectfully disagree with your assessment of my sons match” and Minnow may have contacted local authorities to report a death threat. 

He says the message included a picture of his kids.   The picture I’m sure was something Minnow had posted publicly, but if true that is a weird thing for someone to do.

I didn't even read the comments. I know the Dad, drank beer with him a few times. He is passionate about his boys wrestling, and he is why those boys are in that position. LOTS of time/money dedicated to those boys wrestling. Lots of travel, national dual teams, all the biggest tourneys. He has other kids too, and he really figures out the funding; he is not sitting on a million bucks. 

Pat is a sorry pile of steaming crap. There are many people I personally know who, if they could get their hands on him, would go to jail. He is the typical, say what I want on social media, with no accountability. What cracks me up, he says all of this stuff about these kids, but as soon as someone says something back, he blocks them. You wanna talk about a fricking Vag, and the ol' you can dish it but not take it example.

Minnow posted in his fb group that Bachmann’s dad sent him a message that he “interpreted as threatening.”  It’s Minnow so maybe we’re missing some context but I feel like some of these Iowa parents might make a good reality show.

Stop trying to make me like Iowa.

No offense, but you must be pretty fat if someone can make you look like a state.

BTW the picture of Minnow's family was accompanied by something like "I hope you love your family as much as I love mine", which Minnow took as a threat.  I predict that he goes to the police over this.

He specifically said he didn’t, but he apparently told the coaches and/or admin at FCA.

Saying and doing are different things.

I, for one, see no reason to take anything Minnow posts without proof at face value.  And he is a douche all the time, so if Fred Bachmann did say something crappy to him, that sucks, but that doesn't absolve Minnow for his own involvement in continuing to trash talk high school wrestlers.

The pic is one of his public facing Facebook photos.   Uncensored.   I’m not “friends with him” on fb… but you can see it in his profile.

That's pretty funny right there.

Right, I think the wording accompanying the picture was the most upsetting to creepy uncle.

Historically the minnow is a blowhard gossip queen.  People bring his nonsense here just to crap on Iowa

Total clown who starts stuff, makes things up, and can't handle pushback

[Le duke]

I will have to side with the soon-to-be Iowa parent(s) here.

Minnow could just...not say anything, and that would be great.

In contrast to Minnow's demeaning comments, check out Bo's respectful and honest interview after the match:

https://www.flowrestling.org/events/14658478-2025-ironman/videos?playing=14971905&limit=60

The Bachmanns are winners.  Not a ton of offense but great tacticians who almost always get their hand raised.  Tons of one-point matches and they win almost every one.  Pretty amazing.

Yeah there were some time-buying tactics from Joey and his coach, but Bo's a load for pretty much everyone now, as he's basically an NCAA champ caliber kid wrestling high schoolers. Joey's also up 4 weight classes and didn't do a lot of summer wrestling so I'm guessing he's not yet in peak shape (not that it'd have made a difference).  Take away Bo and Joey might well have been a 4x Ironman champ himself.

This reminds me of another classic Minnow Moment when he kept harassing the woman at UNC who spoke out about Ferrari and she reported his tweets to his job.  More people should report Pat to his superiors.

Lol yup that situation was what got me blocked.  He wrote numerous times about the basketball player that he claimed was “convicted” on sexual assault charges.  I simply pointed out that he was never even charged.

Known liar is known to lie? Shocker lol

I'm honestly amazed he has so much traction. Like who loves wrestling so much that they don't get enough from media/forums/actual wrestling, and they need to go to The Wrestling Room for fabricated wrestling storylines? It's all very weird.

Yeah you can find his LinkedIn pretty easily.  For a guy who gets so twisted about people leveraging his personal life against him, he doesn't make any of it hard to find.

Is this all backlash for Mineo tweeting "only one guy showed up to wrestle"? It baffles me that people still give this guy a platform because I have not really figured out what positives he brings to the sport aside from releasing news 12 hours early and or releasing false news 12 hours early and demoralizing people.
