THERE IS ONLY ONE SWEEP

Rob Rohn in 02 (Carl MOW) and DELETE crap i have 15 mins fml Mike Cole 1989 (Tim Krieger MOW)

Ben Askren just went from hero to "eff it, put this game on Legendary mode and I'm about to set the world record." I've never been more pumped to see someone spit out 5 pound curls in my life. If this guy is any more inspirational we may not have any brick walls left because we ran through them all thanks to him.

Zahid is a medal threat at 86 but certainly not a lock, Dake is on the wrong side of 30 and it took 17 years of complaining at Paris for him to get fired up enough to squeak out bronze before moving up two weights. The rest of 86 is unproven. I am highest on McEnally on the senior circuit but that's not the present and folkstyle wear & tear may do no favors. 74 has three u20 world champs and Carr/KOT and Carr/MM are already budding rivalries pushing each other. I'll take that for overall depth knowing any of those three could be dropped into the bracket and bring home a medal rather than one probable medal lock (Zahid) and drop-off. If Dake made 74 would probably have a different discussion but he didn't so we aren't. Again, just my opinion and we know what opinions are like.

we are going to have to agree to disagree.

I believe the reason for this was announced post-match at NCAAs

74 is weird because there is a "lack" of domestic level depth X everyone ran from the Carr/Metzenbrenk buzz saw X the big dogs (Dake + JB + lower tier Nolf) all exited during the same year. Mind you, 74 is still our deepest weight with Carr, Missilebrick, and KOT when he gets back to full strength in 2027. Kinda funny to be deep and shallow at the same time but both are true.

I would be very curious to hear official positions on a podcast.

Just like his hairline and his unwavering support of his coworkers putting their bodies on the line 340+ days and nights per year

It's just baby fat

But seriously @Husker_Du If you want interview of the year. If there were ever, ever, everrrr one we would just sit back and go "woah..."

Just want to add - you all saw Taz was running arm bar turns, right? He behaves like a 74 with American finesse. Whatever happened previously is out the window - Sad is going 92 permanently. This dude is a Russian Taylor and I want to hold out hope, but we might be looking at a king's reign... @Husker_Du I would be genuinely interested if you could pull some major strings pre-worlds to bring on a certain Stillwater citizen for insight and understanding that none of us will ever, EVER, posses. I know that is a MAJOR ask, and if you tell me to hit the zoo I respect it. But as a wrestling fan, it would genuinely mean a lot.

Yeah but what about the staff prior to that which also experienced success

That's 2% of an annual subscription to FloSports! We sure did take them to the cleaners!

Taz is ridiculous. He looks like a lazy aloof dude who should be teched off the floor in about 30 seconds. Then he ends the match in about 28 seconds leaving you confused what just happened. Absolutely effortless not sure he even breaks a sweat.

Things I learned in this thread by deductive logic: Morningstar posts here Morningstar was sent to the zoo Starocci snuck into the zoo and smuggled out some DNA samples

He's 19 give it a few more matches for the separation to continue yeeeesh

Or flat out lies, as inconceivable as that may sound.

Ross looks like he could pack on 25-30 pounds. He is still very lean as far as adult muscles go, and he has the frame to get as big as he wants. He's going to be a monster.

Lilledahl with his first senior tourney bracket with a quality win over 2024 and 25 euro bronze to cap it off. I've been saying he's the truth!

They have a better folk heavyweight in Pitzer. Granted, I would rather have a world teamer but this isn't the international board.

Oh gotcha since GOATs that are generationally transcendent seem to grow on trees that's probably where I would put my resources too lol

According to the college board Micic was 63 years old when he won in 2023
