I find it hard to believe that we live in a world where any of the Ferrari's grasp the concepts of irony or satire.

Earlier this year, January to be more precise, he said himself (Sasso) in several interviews that one of his legs likely had permanent damage and that his mobility was shot in it (as well as his back. He also said he was actually having trouble keeping weight on (getting down to the mid 130s while in the hospital). For a guy who last wrestled a defensive style at 149lbs, all those things are very bad for someone going 165lbs for the first time. Especially for a guy who wasn't tall for 149lbs. One could wager that expecting him to be at the same form he was when he last took the mat competitively in Folkstyle makes much less sense than being pensive or cautious with optimisms. Especially up two weight classes. Not all of us expect him to contend. Ergo we will not be disappointed when (if) he doesn't win it all. We are all actively rooting for him, though, and will celebrate whatever performances we get from him.

My mistake. Even still losing an athlete to an assistant job didn't have the impact that Cael leaving for PSU.

I met this guy who has spent the last 5 yrs compiling the records for every US world/olympic medalist from 1960-now. He said he has hundreds of librarians helping him go through old archives of newspaper clippings. Wrestling hall of fame and other places have boxes of old records. USA wrestling has lots of online records from 2000-now, but they aren't presented well, and they are sometimes inaccurate.

Well... we could certainly ask Count Floyd about that! "Hey kids... we have a very scary guest for you today. He's are VERY OWN Idaho! I'm telling he's very SCARY... LOOK!" D3

If it allows Israel’s northern population to return to their homes and restores Israel’s deterrence, yes. It changes a lot. If it causes Iran to be fearful of getting dragged in and back off, it changes a lot. Is it going to root out Islamic terrorism and end Hezbollah? No, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t make a difference.

The room reads that you're the one that is actually triggered. Read it the way it is written, not the way you want to read it.

He's triggered? You are going off on every single thread about how evil DT is.

I thought it was weird I'd never seen John Smith's complete FS stats/match records. Same goes for the other US GOATs. Tom Brands, Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, etc. Turns out they didn't exist. Until today. I created a database with stats/match records for all "pro" wrestlers. Idk if anyone cares, but I thought it was cool. You can check out John Smith's record here: https://wrestlingrecords.com/wrestler/john-smith/

TMS wrestled 3x NAIA champ Peyton Prussin (WWE name Kendal Gray).

Kind of surprised by the amount of disrespect Sasso is getting here, being a 2x finalist/4x AA. Do I think he beats MM? Absolutely not. But y'all are acting like the dude is JV and that is wild to me.

Word on the street is that the Magic Man planned to stay retired but only came back because Burroughs of all people convinced him they should go out on top, and Taylor had communication with Sadulaev - his return was the make or break in the decision. Apparently he has wanted to work out with Sadulaev for years Just a very juicy rumor, but from a source I personally believe. I figured someone would have shared by now so take it with a heap of salt.

Only the best...

I knew I was working with good people to enhance my online presence.

note for the topic, Angelo Ferrari is on the Iowa roster, listed at 184, and get this! No instagram link!

Well as discussed we're not sure the uncle exists, but I'm pretty sure you can see his dad's hair dye, which I think he stole from steven seagal, from outer space.

He seems a bit, 'cunty.'

A friend said the movie Macgruber, which is my favorite comedy, was "So stupid it goes past funny into a second layer of stupid and back into funny again", maybe ferrari cleverly disguising his insanely stupid opinions in order to protect his facade as a regular stupid person would be similar.

Then perhaps the rumblings I heard are wrong and assumptive. I know he was pissed when Sahakian committed.

This thread has been running for many years with thousands of posts--fueled by multiple Iranians who follow Iranian media. @Irani just moved it here a few days ago from the previous spot that it was hosted at IndianaMat.com for the last 2 years. Before that it ran for a long time on TheMat.com forums before they were dissolved. There just hasn't been much going on yet for the other Iranian regulars to hop back on. Below is a link if you want to look at the 3,000+ posts from the past 2 years. A few decent discussion points from recent U17s and U20s--and obviously plenty of discussion during the Olympics. https://indianamat.com/index.php?/forums/topic/62268-iran-wrestling-news/#comments

When is Glengarry Glen Ross a stupid name? What would a better name have been? Death of a Salesman was already taken when David Mamet wrote the play.

Do consequences for actions - especially bad consequences for bad actions - ever really change anything? Yes.

Clever. He means X, the social medial formerly known as Twatter. Before you all ask, he is an absolute delight there, too!

A lot of the things people believe about him are word of mouth things American coaches and wrestlers from that time said. These people were truthfully not in a good position to know these things. The only time they would have seen Karelin is at worlds or a random tournament once or twice a year. I've never seen a Russian originating source claim that he went un scored on for X (6 or 10) years. They do say that he went undefeated for a long period and that his only two losses were controversial. And this un scored on claim from the English speaking internet can be debunked. See this (time stamp 2:22). So he was scored on in 1996 and the olympics, which keep good records, say Karelin was scored on in 1992. So there goes the 10 and 6 years possibility working back from Rulon. See, how could an American wrestler/coach have known about what happened at the Euros let alone internal Russian marches, but they still make these claims. I think the 13 years undefeated part is true, at least for his official record. In that he went undefeated in big tournaments (let's say Olympics, Worlds, Euros, Soviet/Russian nationals). Karelin did have a couple controversial wins (who hasn't to be honest) and I think they all happened with Sergei Mureiko. Ahokas, a Finnish wrestler, said this about Karelin's match in 1997 worlds against Murekio "was a gift from the referee". Karelin then had the match in 1999 with Mureiko that was overturned. To be fair to Karelin though, Ahokas could just be sour grapes, and that was there challenge system in the 90s. You couldn't challenge a live call so if a mistake did happen that was your only recourse. The article I saw regarding this did not go into specifics of the match and I don't think there is footage so who knows what happened. The only thing you can do is interview the wrestlers that took part in the match, but they will have their biases. Mureiko for his part does not seem to feel he was cheated with his career by Karelin. I saw an interview where Mureiko was asked about always losing to Karelin and he said something to the effect of "what can I do was facing a super man". And Karelin did demolish Mureiko on many occasions, including pinning him multiple times. The 887-2 was probably another American coach/wrestler tall tale that spread on the internet. Karelin lived for a while and competed in Sweden, who is recording these matches in 1991 and also following him around in Russia ha. Maybe you can come up with something close to 887 but who knows what the real number is.

You need a laser beam headband, too. I will talk with the board. No expense will be spared!

My take is we will look back on Oct. 7th as the point when Iran miscalculated and went too far. They have created a situation where if they don’t respond they look weak, which is a big no no in the Middle East. It is very dangerous domestically for the regime. If they do respond, they risk getting drawn into a fight with Israel. In the last week Israel has shown that they have been pushed too far and the status quo that has existed recently is gone. All red lines that Iran and their proxies thought existed are gone. Iran’s strategy has not been to get into a war with Israel, but to use their proxies to make life unlivable there. What they didn’t count on was getting hit at home. Israel can easily take out their oil fields and refineries, which is probably check mate for the regime their. Israel has shown recently they will go their if needed. Make no mistake, taking out Nasrallah is a game changer.

I'm very upset that poor Spencer has gone bald. He'll probably end up with an ugly wife.

India is improving because they improve slowly the quality of their training. training centers are better, many foreigners are working or was working in India. Wrestling is one of the most popular sport behind cricket, even for women. there is a strong tradition of wrestling in this country.

Swing and a miss

Ukraine is corrupt as the day is long. this war is a massive money laundering scheme.

You are one scary potato!! mspart

I wouldn't bet on that.

Oh Nvrmnd, I get it now

Jimmy going somewhere?

I can't find it now, but I stumbled across some data that there are a little under 3K posters here. That means we all have a chance, but my money is on TNWrestling or whatever Bassett's uncles handle is on here. He brings a LOT to the table and is highly intellectual. You can tell when he posts. Lots of depth there.

Does anyone really care?

Hey, why look for a future impact player... ... when it was jimminy stickilysweetbuns all along? D3

Tough not to be a Sasso fan this year. It could be a hell of a cinderella story.
