    No, sir.

    Good catch. You found a data error on wrestlingstats.com. Their bracket has Sonny Yohn seeded 8th, but their results summary at the beginning has him listed as [US]. So, now there are only two who have achieved this and we are still missing one.
  3. Wrestleknownothing
    two out of three. one to go.
  4. Wrestleknownothing
    Yeah, those returning GIs had a reputation for sloth.

    I checked with the esteemed panel of trivia judges and they pointed out it requires seeding to not be seeded in the top 8. I argued your case hard, but they were unmoved by my pleas.

    Good work. 1 for 2. Sonny Yohn from 2010 - 2012 was unseeded, #9, and #10 while finishing 8, 7, 5.

    The seeded eras which began in 1940s
  8. Wrestleknownothing
    Unfortunately not. There were no seeds back in the day so they could not be seeded outside the top 8.

    There are a trio of wrestlers who AA'd three times apiece without being seeded in the top 8. And for each of them it was the only three times they AA'd. Name them.

    It was like catching a tiger by the tail. He took his responsibilty to make sure we were prepared VERY seriously. I was hanging on for dear life, but I hung on. And did I mention the shoulders?

    These are content creators. A journalist would seek comment from all the parties. And if they did not receive comments they would say as much.

    Why would _______ lie? Is the lamest form of argument.

    I'm not talking out of any side. All I did was differentiate between a content creator and media that buys the rights to broadcast major sports.

    Weirdly he was a physics major
  15. Wrestleknownothing
    It sounds like some from column A and some from column B?
  16. Wrestleknownothing
    He was a #2 seed in 1964. Suspect seeding that year. The #1 seed was 0-2 BBQ.

    I cannot argue with that. Access is too precious, and it is granted, not paid for.

    Got it. I am guessing there are limits even in real media. You did not see Deshaun Watson doing any interviews. But media companies that wrote about his sexual assault accusations and settlements did not face any kind of ban or embargo.

    You are going to have to connect those dots for me because I don't get the connection.

    The real Gene Mills would know better than to mess with a swimmer near a pool.

    And in the mainstream sports media companies pay a lot of money for broadcast rights. Part of those deals is that athletes, coaches, etc. have to be available to the media or face fines and sanctions. Super Bowl media day is a perfect example. No one is there voluntarily. They are there because the media companies provide the lion's share of the revenue and can command their presence. That dynamic does not exist in wrestling. And that dynamic does not exist for content creators.

    We have our friend @jchapman to thank. He asked a question about the 1946 tournament so I pulled up the 1947 guide and found that gem. While not exactly proof of your theory, the 1948 guide has no reference to water wrestling. Who are we kidding? That is ironclad proof. RIP.
  23. Wrestleknownothing
    even if your not.
  24. Wrestleknownothing
    Just one to go.

    In my day the biggest insult you could lay on a swimmer was to call him a diver.
