Pretty sure Mason said: "you're a short wrestler, you are shorter than me, when we are both in a nursing home you'll still be shorter than me, sure you won the match but in 30-50 years from now all folks are gonna notice is that you are shorter than me. Oh and they gave me a full Hodge not a short half a Hodge and didn't have to share it with a short 5'2" 125lber." Well thats what thought I heard.

Pretty sure Smith had accomplished everything he could 6x with two Olympic gold, why would he continue, would 10x have proved anything more? Gable yeah maybe beat up but both had coaching options a you didn't make any money wrestling back then.

Nick makes the Lee family proud!

So step outs are so much fun.

But what about the fee? Look about right?

Wonder what Dan Gable thinks?

Six-time world and Olympic champion John Smith became familiar with pain during his sensational freestyle career. He suffered from broken fingers, sprained ankles, torn rib cartilage, a separated shoulder, damaged knee ligaments, cauliflower ears, and extremely painful hip pointers. But Smith knew, as do other high-achieving wrestlers, that injuries are part of the game and that a wrestler must learn to live with them and block them out. While covering the 1988 Olympics for the Chicago Tribune, writer John Husar captured what winning a gold medal can cost a wrestler like John Smith. “His nose had been broken Tuesday by the Bulgarian and Smith said he had never bled so much,” wrote Husar. “His bent and stubby fingers that had been broken four or five times apiece were jammed anew and swollen, and his right shoulder was crying for arthroscopic surgery. But none of that hurt as much, he said, as the rawness on his backside, where he wore away the skin sitting nightly in his rubber suit on the stationary bike.” “‘Aw, it’s nothing, really,’ he assured a knot of incredulous re-porters. ‘All athletes go through this type of stuff. Aches and pains come with sport. You’ve just gotta adapt to ’em’” (Husar 1988, 12). Adapt he did, and again in 1992, when he was searching for his second Olympic gold medal. This time, Smith was facing a different type of injury. “I had a staph infection hit me in January and it tore me up,” said Smith in 2004. “My whole head was swollen, and I had bald spots on my head, too. It just gradually got worse. I suffered from fatigue. After just 15 minutes of drilling, I would be exhausted. “During some practices, it felt like my head was going to explode. It took everything I had to mentally get through the Olympic trials and the Olympics. It would have been easy for some guys to just walk away at that point, to settle for something less. But I couldn’t do that. “I remember writers coming up and acting surprised that I could keep going, and I thought, ‘What’s the big deal? It comes with the territory.’ I’ve just always assumed injuries are part of the game.” In that respect, he was akin to Dan Gable, who entered the 1972 Olympics in Munich with a severely damaged left knee. In the first match, Gable’s foe from Yugoslavia headbutted him, opening a gash that required seven stitches to close. “Sure, it hurt,” said Gable years later. “But so what? The point of wrestling is that it hurts and you overcome that. It never occurred to me that it wasn’t supposed to hurt.” Pain is part of the game at the highest levels. The finest athletes have learned to accept it and to ignore it, in many respects

How does a potential 4xer end up at Cal B?

Certainly looked like he did something to the left knee.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really? What if they all went elsewhere, would that be the very best scenario?

AI?

What if Gilman decides "i want to give my good buddy Spencer Lee a chance, plus I want to kick RBY's & Fix's butts " and says he will be going 61 not making the cut to 57. Would that mean both 57 & 61 go WTT?

Wish you'd called, I'd have been happy to house sit no charge.

ahh ... you forgot Suriano drilling downstairs "as we speak" on a broken ankle. Also, we used to fix lots of stuff on the farm with baling wire then they invited duct tape. You can fix any/everything with duct tape.

like little bit at a time, say a weight class every year or two or more like just gone gone?

Don't forget AA and future comedian Greg Warren.

What would he gain by staying in? Is there a prize for 3rd? If serious then why did he enter?

If asking about OSU, the wrestling is free but fb & bb believe cost $s, I'm cheap so haven't tried those.

I was saving that gooey cinnamon center for later.

This sure looked and smelled like a French pastry thread.

I would expect Carrol RS, Plott has a RS so could see Wittlake 74 and Haas at 84. Alvarez at 41 not sure on 49 maybe VV just testing the portal value & is back, there's another Sheets at 49. 157 is a hole, can the juco kid go down (he looks lean), Williams maybe but like Sheets gotta improve.
