Man, you are trying really hard to get us banned again & I'm not trying to further upset Mr. @Ragu...I think he's connected with the Spicy Meatball Mafia
Depends on which Christian Theology you follow. But, I do remember the idea of the trinity was borrowed from Plato as early christianity spread through Greece. I'm sure our fellow philosopher @SocraTeasecan chime in. I've hears a lot of debate that the story of Jesus is more akin to Greek mythology than Jewish tradition
Muhammad is really popular in the UFC (Khabib, Usman, Adesanya, Khamzat, Macachev etc). He made an appearance in the NBA (70's/80's Kareem). He did just fine. Don't know how he'll be welcomed in the college wrestling scene
Key word is "bonkers" (mad/crazy)...If we are to believe the word was used correctly it would be something of the magnitude of a Terry Brands, Brock Lesnar, or some random dude off the street taking a head coaching position in the Ivies. My guess is it wont be so bonkers
No, not that I'm aware of. It was part of the curriculum when I was a youngster. Might be a regional thing now. I can ask friends & family who live in central PA if their kids still have it.
Maybe wrestling needs an Enter the Dragon or Karate Kid movie to spark interest. Bo Nickal starring in Bloodsport 2
1) I thought 2023 was the best year the UFC has ever had. Viewership was up and they brought in over 1 billion in revenue.
2) Haven't gone through all the comments. Is this based on the theory that wrestling will grow if it's presented more as a team sport? I've always found that theory fanciful. Would love to be proven wrong.
I've been a broken record on this but my belief has always been that wrestling's best strategy is to follow the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blueprint and piggy back off the UFC. He might get a lot of hate but someone like Bo Nickal being extremely successful in the octagon is important to the future of wrestling. Then comes the work of the community capitalizing off of it. Living in the Philly area, despite it being in PA, I've talked to countless dads who would have gladly signed up their kids for wrestling but didn't know where to start. Luckily for them there's a bjj school on every corner.
