I respect much of the above …. But not all of it …. Is it the American Way to be ready to flee (play the edge) and effectively run away when the situation gets tricky? That seems to be the folkstyle way with all the crap OOB that happens.

Great guy. Back issues prevented run for Atlanta Olympics. Would love to have seen it.

Cool to see. Thanks for posting. Small guy had some moves. Nice snap and go behind.

https://www.lehighvalleynews.com/nazareth-northampton/wrestling-champion-sammy-sasso-charged-with-gun-drug-crimes-in-nazareth old article - likely discussed in this thread … but the entirety of the read paints a picture of an idiot. Summary … “Let’s drive around in a car with an expired registration along with multiple guns while smoking weed.” Really freaking bad judgment and decision making. Sammy might be a great guy but this is a crap look. *the smoking weed part is me figuring this is what he was doing base on this part of the article: As Sasso was exiting the vehicle, according to police, an officer detected a strong odor of marijuana. He then saw what appeared to be packaging from a marijuana dispensary on the rear seat of the vehicle. Police said they also observed a separate canister that contained remnants of a green leafy substance. Sasso told police he does not have a valid Pennsylvania medical marijuana card, the affidavit said.

Wow! Really? That is damn impressive they were able to cobble this together so fast. Hmmmm. I love the concept. Hoping can see more of it.

Hoping this works and is successful. Nervous about boring matches though. What is being done to promote exciting matches? Bout of the night awards? Guys that are boring don’t get invited back? Want guys not afraid to lose once in a while. Guys that want to put on a show.

I agree!!!

What the hell is everyone talking about about here???

He won it. That is the key. Big win for him which is great. Just a personal Al wish the earlier matches weren’t so close / tough. Separation will lead to more confidence for me.

Thanks for updates. Not going all that well it seems. Losses and, from my cheap seats, some surprisingly close wins. Young team, can and will improve.

Several times mentioned Vito not at peak and was a reason why he picked Jax. Tried to focus on Jax and heap praise on him. Others went heavy on Vito not being right … at which point Pyles best answer is ‘maybe.’ Trying damn hard to not reduce shine on Jax.

Well, anyone else used to having Men’s Freestyle be the last of the three styles? This not a consistent norm? This year it is the first of the styles … so I have booked plane tickets and hotel … and follow on plan, for the wrong weekend. Damn it.

Bragging rights and a big ego to whoever gets the straight scoop on what’s been up with Vito.

Big congrats to Jax!!!! Amazing accomplishment. Looking forward to cheering him on!!!

Vito seems to be like ‘Do I really need to be here?’ Had enough to spring once or twice. But just looks like he isn’t isn’t enjoying himself at all. Seems resigned. Oh well, Jax will be fun to watch at worlds!!!
