Bummed that Steveson is skipping but I'm very excited to see Parris' chops on the senior circuit. Here's to hoping he is relaxed and mentally up for the challenge.

Weird take because heavyweights bring home the most world medals

As we all know, it is very extremely super duper easy for US-based athletes to qualify 65kg

Since we can all agree that it's not fair to Brooks to have been clearly laid out the rules and timeline for his decision-making all the way back on January 15, what about a couple fun scenarios that would *really* mess with our resident king of the VO2 mountain @Le duke 1) Brooks becomes an atheist; as such he follows his carnal desires and therefore the lord is no longer cutting with him so he bumps up to 92 at WTT but Zahid beats him this time around. AB has the same boring offseason but Mark Hall ascends to Final X where he is Taylor's sacrificial lamb. 1.1) Bonus fun scenario: If Hall is competing rather than coaching, does Burroughs have a different result and make the team?!? 2) Zahid lets Brooks weigh-in first and then just never steps on the scale therefore ascending to the 86kg spot at Final X by losing at the US Open. That's a grown-man's 3D chess move right there.

to-Bonor, tah-boner

I heard Bono won't sign the release papers

Sadulaev competes less than David Taylor

Dr. Horrible anyone? Captain Hammer, and the hammer is... nevermind. It's a silly sing-a-long blog you wouldn't understand.

I'm just here to see if Davison starts consistently taking down Gable instead of just the first td... https://www.flowrestling.org/collections/6751867-highlights/video?playing=7598840

I just wanted to circle back and remind you of what one person wrote and what the other wrote. You can infer however you please.

An unintended positive consequence of NIL for olympic sports.

It is weird that you and I are occasionally seeing eye-to-eye at a high rate recently. What with you being so short and me never previously sharing my love of the Polk High School hero “Touchdown” Bundy… Oh and it was a high sprain ankle with two torn ligaments. He pissed it off even more making weight. It was a trap game for Cox. Or that’s the word at least…

¿Porque no los dos?

Lack of testicular fortitude?

If wishes and buts were candy and nuts then we’d all have a good Christmas. Enough making excuses for Gilman. He’s a professional multi-time world medalist. If he had a bad cut then he has no one to blame but himself. No. Excuses. Richards is the same age, made the same weight, and beat him two times in a row including the second match 6-7 hours after weigh-ins.

Umm, have you seen the Russian expat landscape the last decade? Or Chanizo, Micic, Amine?

Especially if they remain fans of the sport once in the position.

Did Anthony Valencia compete at MEX nattys in March? I only saw the pic of Gomez and was unable to find brackets, etc.

“Chili” from Cincinnati

Oh wow would you look at that... another greco national dual title. And at least one more Final X competitor is in this picture - the only questions are who and when?

Emphasis on breakdowns

This sport is proud to be poor. Weird because just like hockey, the best are anything but. Reminds me a lot of my tiny rural hometown where dreams go to die. Except those of us who left and excelled. There is nothing wrong with having increasingly higher expectations once a foothold has been established. There is a problem with mediocrity and accepting mediocrity as not only a baseline, but an acceptable norm. For example, if I got 6th in state would I be happy doing that year in and year out? Because Flo is consistently an underachieving state placer when it should be competing for Fargo titles with dreams to compete for world titles. Sure, it gets the tournaments (beating the state champ during the season) but it can't actually broadcast for crap (dropping a match in the second round) and then expects the customers to just take it (dropping another match in the consi semis). FloWrestling is Marinelli incarnate.

Or maybe there is a federal lawsuit a la the "Michigan State and Larry Nassar violations." Remember, that case went from 0-100 publicly in a matter of hours. Not weeks, not days, hours. There is potential for the same given the level of allegations against Voldemort et al. Time will tell.

Look everyone knows This is ten percent luck Twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure Fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name Dummies
