So he beat Lovett in the 1st round but ended up getting teched by another wrestler in the second round?

I get why some people want to ban AI-generated images, answers, and summaries. There are concerns about misinformation, copyright issues, and the impact on jobs. Some worry AI might replace human creativity or spread false information if not used responsibly. On the other hand, AI can be a powerful tool that enhances creativity, accessibility, and efficiency. It helps people summarize complex topics, generate art for fun or inspiration, and assist in research. The key is using it responsibly—making sure AI-generated content is labeled, fact-checked, and used ethically. What’s your take on it? Do you think AI is more of a help or a threat?

I'm pretty sure @ionel wants to bet you that AJ Ferrari isn't getting accepted to Iowa. Being that you're such an insider on this and incessantly claim he's going to Iowa you should take the bet

Both Anthony Cassar and Bo Nickal said it's great for wrestling on a Podcast. You fellas, including you @Interviewed_at_Weehawken, are getting kooky. What are the current and former PSU wrestler supposed to do? Go on a goodwill press tour for DT?

This is a great upper tier. I would add Mocco and Metcalf. Honorable mention for Travis Lee. Quite a few mention him for greatest 133 pounder

Not happening

Lot's of negativity on the boards tonight! Quite a passionate bunch you fellas are! Thought I'd add a highlight from my weekend. During the finals Parker Keckeisen walks out and plops himself in his assigned seat between Mcenelly and Plott. The three have a good chat and there were plenty of smiles. Just a friendly reminder to not spend so much time being salty.

I hear ya. I highlighted in bold and am in total agreement with you on your last two points.

Idk wrestle87. I was curious about what you guys were talking about and watched. He let go prior to the whistle knowing it was potentially dangerous. Are you more pointing out the post match antics? Have only heard great things about Shapiro as a person. He's been a great ambassador for our sport at the international level

Definitely seems like it's trending that way. Hopefully he finds a good fit. Kid has the goods

Myself & @Le duke are the only PSU fans that I know of defending Kasak. And don't want to speak for him but I've been on the board long enough with Le Duke to hypothesize that he like myself disagree with what Nickal did. Years ago I was in a battle royale with fellow PSU fans defending Nelson Brands from accusations that he purposely bit Aaron Brooks. Some of us find baseless accusations insulting

Exactly, you shouldn't get involved because you don't know. At this point it's just baseless claims. We've had a lot of fun this forum Hammer but just going around and throwing accusations around is childish. I know at least you're better than that

You guys are hysterical. Last year constant comments about Levi defying the laws of weight cutting by making 157 because he was so big. Now this year it's "he's on steroids". You haters need to make up your mind

Nothing better than the anti science crowd chiming in.

Levi's dad is Ken Haines. Wrestled at Lock Haven. You can research him. He ain't a small fella. Chris, Levi's uncle, also ain't a small fella.

Do you know who Levi Haines dad and uncle are?

Kasak wrestled U17s in July of 2022. So how old do you think he is?

Or maybe he just hit a growth spurt and if you go back in time their was a poster (it's me) who said don't be surprised if he finishes his career up at 184. If you knew his family you would know his dad and uncle are big fellas

WKN, thanks for doing this again and congrats to @CHROMEBIRD !!!

Not saying it's not possible but somewhat of a head scratcher that the most (or one of) talented young freestyle wrestlers in the world would put international competition on hold to chase a NCAA crown

125 - Jacob Moran 133- Van Dee 141 - Tagg 149 - Abas 157 - Teemer 165 - Gallagher 174 - Sax 184 - Kane 197 - Bechtold Heavy - Runyon

I thought the proposed new rule will be 5 regular seasons but only 4 post seasons? I personally support this

Good luck to all the wrestlers and may you all have a tournament full of fun & cheer! ‘Twas the night before weigh-ins, and all through the gym, Not a wrestler was eating, not even a slim. The singlets were hung in the lockers with care, In hopes that tomorrow, a win would be there. The coaches were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of takedowns danced in their heads. And I in my warm-ups, my headphones on blast, Had just settled in for a cut that must last. When out in the hallway there rose such a clatter, I sprang from my bench to see what was the matter. Away to the door, I moved in a flash, Tripped over my headgear and fell with a crash. The fluorescent lights cast a bright, eerie glow, Illuminating the shadows that danced down below. When what to my tired, sore eyes should appear, But Cael Sanderclaus, with a smirk ear to ear. “Get rest,” he commanded, his voice low and deep, “For tomorrow, you battle—the title to keep. Your training is done, your mindset is right, Now dream of that podium and wrestle with might.” Then back to my spot, I walked with a yawn, Knowing the tournament soon would be on. I whispered to myself as I lay down my head, “I’ll leave it all on the mat—no regrets when I’m dead.”

He was an All-Pro in '92...kinda
