Vito just had neck surgery. Not happening.

Has had issue since 2023. Second herniated disc in 2025 led to delayed final X. Yikes. Just had surgery. This crap isn’t worth it. Neck / spine crap is hard core. I’m no doctor but from my cheap seats … as much as I love watching the guy wrestle …. Seems like it is time to prioritize long term health. No more active wrestling. This stuff is scary. Have a life. Enjoy family. Grow old. Don’t be crippled.

Well said. I get this. Not sure I agree with the stance but maybe I do. I love Helen’s repertoire. interesting. Fair to suggest that if we put Snyder in with Gray’s numbers and Burroughs in with Helen’s numbers, many would say Burroughs is the GOAT given Snyder’s limited technique set (that he shows at least)?

I’ve been somewhat surprised at all the Moroulis GOAT talk with little to no mention of Adeline. Seems disrespectful. Curious for someone to lay out the full cases. Gray, by the numbers, has a very strong case.

D3, you are a treasure to these boards. Thank you for all you do.

Even with Sad out … look at the other results. Are the best guys really the hired guns wrestling for other countries?

Finishes fourth behind Japan. I know Sad wasn’t there. Is that the only difference? He would have brought more points. But let’s look … 57kg - 7th 61kg - 1st 65kg - 5th 70kg - something north of 10th 74kg - 3rd 79kg - 9th 86kg - 10th 92kg - 2nd 97kg - 8th 125kg - 9th This does not look like a result for Russia. Are other weights impacted by the Ukraine invasion complexities? Best guys can’t represent? Other story lines?

About time. Glad to see ref do that.

SNYDER BACK ON TOP!!! GOLD!!!!

Varner’s right ear reminds me of the Alien in the Alien movie … when it first comes out of the guys gut. Check it out.

Taz has been ‘humanized’ … gets bronze but with very close matches and a loss. Aura has been dulled.

Maroulis set that up and executed beautifully. Awesome technique. Pin!! On to the finals!!!!

Don’t get burned out. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy life. Let the guy enjoy the ride. I take this as a sign that he is looking at the big picture and wrestling is not all consuming. He knows there is more to life and making great memories with friends matters. Great for him.

Ok, count me in. What a freaking legendary performance. Like someone said …. He scored 20 points in that match but lent a bunch to his opponent. What an incredible comeback. Count me in as a big time fan. WORLD CHAMPION

THAT IS LEGENDARY!!
