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

Burroughs wont even make it to the finals so this face off will never happen

I don't always throw chairs but when I do...

Ben went to see an old friend and buy a sweatshirt at the school store.

Wasn't Max recently the leading candidate in the Askren family to take over at Wiscy? Was he in the building? This is certainly interesting

I think everyone older than 35 and follows the UFC is aware of this. Bill Wallace loves reminding everyone in his interviews

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.

I wrote a hefty check to the Bob Dole Foundation for Erectile Dysfunction

Schtuping his wife?

Are you dating Elizabeth Dole?

He'll be a contender but I think '97 next year will be similar to '25 this year. Cardenas took 6 losses on the year and placed 4th. You can also throw Little's name into the mix

I think Cael vs AB is much closer to a toss up than what most would like to believe. The year prior down at 184 Cormier gave the mythical Cael quite a scrap and got a takedown in the 3rd to make it a 1 point match prior to Daniel having a brain fart and giving up the reversal. If Cael wrestled AB in their primes 10 times I wouldn't be surprised if they split. AB is going into WTT as an underdog to DT and although unlikely most won't or shouldn't find it shocking if he pulled off taking the spot. That's how good he is

You post like Clinton, you sound like Clinton, you promise like Clinton. Now I know why Bobby Dole is rattled. Just change your avatar already

Maybe the Enitres' is possessive and it means the entire entries of the last chance qualifier enitres?

Henson goes 157. MM and Haines swap weights

I've been told "old man strength" is more than a state of mind

WKN, here's a fascinating one. UPenn's Rchard DiBatista won titles in '41 & '42 at 175. Transferred to Navy and AA'd in '01 '02 at 141. Snuck into the tournament under the alias Mark Conley. Maybe @cowcards has the back story https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/98

According to canon Palpatine's return in Episode 9 "The Rise of Skywalker" is an analogy/direct correlation to the real Bob Dole

Nolf is the only other US wrestler ranked internationally with Dake at 74kg. Chance is ranked at #11 at 86kg. But, I agree with your overall points on the matter. Bo is being over the top

Yeah. Edited my post. Didn't scroll down far enough.

Great stuff. Nick Suriano should be on there twice... edit: Never mind. Didn't scroll down far enough
