  1. I think one issue is a lot of US wrestling fans come over only during the Olympics and only have the info from the headlines they read or from social media posts. Kyle Dake is a great example. If you follow somewhat you'd know he lost to Sidakov at worlds. Sidakov is out now Dake is a lock. What a lot of these fans didn't know is at that World's he lost to Sidakov he wrestled Takatani and won by the slimmest of margins and the match could've gone the other way.
  2. Great post. I think it's ok to show some frustration with this particular olympic team. It's ok to question our wrestlers strategy. Question if the coaches prepared them correctly. Constructive criticism is a positive not a negative. But, like you've pointed out the vitriol and hate towards our wrestlers has been absolute garbage.
  3. Did I just see a cow catcher! edit: wasn't a cow catcher
  4. 65kg is "the" weight class. Will always be hard to medal at this weight. Yianni was our hope for this weight but he's been going through a career funk
  5. It's a good joke. You're just weren't in on it
  6. The joke went over your head
  7. Hey Fly, if you haven't heard there is an olympics going on
  8. Overrated
  9. Overrated
  10. Yeah, every wrestler in 65 and 97kg forfeited out of the Olympics
  11. Chop Wood Carry Water my friend
  12. @Wrestleknownothing is this the official thread on Japanese wrestling? Asking for @ionel
  13. With this specific team a Disappointment. But it's the Olympics so still enjoy any medal we can bring home
  14. I think there was a character in the Bronx Tale based off of Jimmy called Mush
  15. New to freestyle wrestling? Probably tweaked something but he was far from injured. He wouldn't have been able to post on his right arm and butt scoot while fighting off that leg turk if he was legitimately injured
  16. Yaz's right arm miraculously heals fighting off the turk. Is David Taylor the most overrated Gold Medalist of all time?
  17. I think Ramzanov looks like Nolf's Eastern European doppelgänger
  18. When do we get a "Is Brooks the most overrated Bronze Medalist Ever" thread?
  19. Did the ref mess up a grounding call? Could've sworn it should've been a point for Spencer. Not taking anything away from Higuchi. Spencer wrestled a great match
  20. I don't know when Higuchi would've been put on the shot clock. Wrestled an extremely intelligent match.
  21. Damn Japan again
  22. Dake giving up that pushout shows how overrated he is. Someone should ask Cael if they even practice that situation. Got lucky in that match
