Just dropped this new single. Hope you Enjoy Title: @ionel

A signing musical would be original

Holy smokes! That would've been hilariously terrible and amazingly perfect for a sequel.

From most accounts hasn't the decriminalization of drugs been an utter failure in Oregon?

Have lost track at this point. I thought Michigan was the Portal Gold Standard for a few years

A musical version would be fire. Who do you cast for Matt Mcdonough and the Brands Brothers?

Well, no. The last we see of Maximus he was on his way to that fine wife of his. They cut the story there because it would have been inappropriate to show what his afterlife was all about. Plus, that is a private moment. Also, when do we get the Wicked version of Unstoppable? What's his perspective?

Yes he was. Maximus was alive then died. It's clear at the end of the movie. Filming wrapped up in 1999 when he died. Movie was released in 2000.

Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, Lucilla, Lucius, etc all real people

Movies do that. I didn't love it but I found entertaining. The inaccuracies don't bother. A movie I do love is Gladiator which is filled with historical inaccuracies. But the theme of the movie did a good job of capturing the end of the Pax Romana. Braveheart is a fan favorite. Quite enjoyable. Tons of inaccuracies. The first battle, the Battle at Sterling Bridge, was far more fascinating than the movie version and was actually fought on a bridge rather than an open field. But, people still love that scene

My dream scenario would be Wrestling would have two seasons. Fall Freesytle and Winter Folk. Have teams compete in mini tournaments followed by the conference tournament and then the National Championship.

Fair point on the National Duals. Bad job on my part on not clarifying what I meant on the UFC, Boxing, PGA. Was not suggesting we use their format for competition. Was speaking to how they market their athletes and create hype. Would not be able to answer that. It does appear his contribution to wrestling has been significant with the youth. Maybe @Husker_Du or @Jason Bryant can answer that for you

Sure dual stories are great as are tournament stories. My point was I have yet to have a wrestler tell me how devastated they are about a dual meet loss. It's not in the DNA of the wrestlers I know. Everyone's focus I know was getting on the podium it was not winning duals.

I'm not anti duals nor against a dual team championship. I just think it's a fairytale to think it will grow the sport. Have yet to meet a former college wrestler who talked about the dual they lost. It's an individual sport & I think if we wanted to grow the sport it should be marketed more like the UFC, boxing, PGA Golf, etc. Some like to poke fun of Bo Bassett because of his social media presence but he has done more to grow the sport of wrestling than decades of tinkering at the NCAA level

That's only theory at this point and like other sports depends on which schools are realistically in the hunt. PSU/Iowa will draw more engagement than say NC State/Virginia Tech. The highest viewership in recent memory for the NCAA finals was 2013 (Dake/Taylor) 860k viewers compared to 2018 that had a team title on the line during the finals round and only drew 628K viewers. Be great if I am proven wrong but the idea that National Duals will increase engagement and grow wrestling seems like a fairytale.

Our annual National Dual debate is upon us! Glad to see that some things never change. If given the choice would you rather be a One Time NCAA All American Wrestler or a 4 time Team Champ

Deion headed to the Cowboys or Raiders?

Determining sex XO is female and XXY is male. You're looking for 46XX/46XY

Sex is determined at conception but anatomically we have no gender in the embryonic stage. Intersex was probably the wrong word

Wasn't arguing against your spirit of trolling or trying to shut you down. I've heard that narrative before and have seen it get shot down. Just need to clean up your approach, fine tune it. Good luck!

Do you know why he left Okie St. First I assumed it was because of Hendrickson and then he chooses Iowa State and drops to 197.

Discussed this in the other thread. This is a misconception. We all start out as intersex

Can't we all just enjoy how hilarious of a faux pas that moment was? That was definitely a freudian Sieg Heil

Ha! Fair enough.
