We obviously learned nothing from the golden age with JB/Dake/Taylor/Cox/Snyder where they were constantly negatively compared to each other and nitpicked apart rather than appreciated. I don't care who has the best career because we have depth with an emerging new generation. Let's just enjoy having nice things for once.

David Taylor said he will only compete in two tournaments the rest of his career: world champs and the Spanish Grand Prix, and we're all out of paella

Because you would have to literally kill a world champ before they would just let someone take their spot due to an injury. Big props to Vito and hoping for a full recovery. The cumulative toll on a world champion's body cannot be overstated or understood by anyone on a message board.

WOAH. High school kids are not playing around this year.

Jax defense on that double to only give up 1.... wowza

Has it been announced what mat? My laptop can't handle more than one tab of this message board and one tab of Flo live broadcasting or else it breaks.

Nickal is a big believer in the 2nd amendment so you know Bassett would bring that Machine Gun Mindset

I have always been a huge fan of Hendrickson's technique as I think he is one of the best in the US at any weight, but the best technique does not equal results especially at the global level. I am cautiously optimistic for a medal but would not be surprised to see a quick exit just as easily. I recognize he was not as physically matured as today and lacked a career-altering victory at the time, but Hendrickson could not get by Parris in freestyle (nearly teched him only to get wiped off the mat, and Parris was dismantled by an uninterested Steveson who was only training part-time while still in WWE) and could not get past Kerkvliet domestically until a torn ACL at the NCAA tournament just a few months ago. He was also taken to the brink by Hillger at USA team trials which essentially showed the blueprint from someone who, respectfully, who has no place on the USA ladder until basically every quality heavyweight didn't compete this year (Gable, Parris, Gwiz, Kerk, Cassioppi, Schultz & Coon greco only would win, Bradley, Zillmer moved down to 97 to possibly nab a default spot if Snyder didn't compete, etc.)

Invites are typically ladder-based. I wouldn't look too much into it. The USA/Russia dual that was just announced looks on paper to be exciting, but USA paper tigers do not always fare well against RUS.

hahahahahahahahahahahah hold on, catching my breath hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha this was so dumb

It's straight out of the pro wrestling/UFC playbook. Definitely a long play but if it brings in viewers and creates growth then so be it. Otherwise the wrestling audience remains net-neutral.

Even better!

Dan Dennis never won anything. Not kids club or junior high or state, or as we all know in heartbreaking fashion... not NCAAs. But he won the 2016 Olympic spot!

Ex: I bet Forrest still gets a new truck just like Fix did. Recruits are still going to have nice off-campus housing provided to them. Starters will have no-show jobs to provide a paycheck that legally skirts NIL rules. Things will be more contained, but there will still be functions of the wild, wild west.

What many are failing to grasp is that there are NIL deals and there are business deals. Business deals are the new bag man - operating in shadows slightly less behind the scenes, the only difference is that 2025's bag man doesn't have to hide cash from the IRS. Business deals are currently less prevalent, but with Deloitte trying to create a de facto salary cap (which is a good thing in theory [and theory only]) then these business deals will grow in volume. It will simply be a more legal but just as murky recruiting environment, with the difference being that transfers can now also enjoy the spoils that previously required a 4-5 year commitment out of high school.

Dan Dennis disappeared for two years, one weekend is a nothingburger

Gilman must be back on campus if they are taking whereabouts unknown violations seriously

Sandy Stevens is being rolled off by USA Wrestling and that makes me very sad.

I have to admit that I did not anticipate Hulk Hogan vs Ben Askren in a hospital cage match but I'm here for it. My money is on Askren!

Grok had quite a day yesterday.

I will pay extra for Basch and the Bud Saylor to keep their clothes on. Enough boobs on Only Fans, ya?

True story - OF was originally created as an outlet for content creators to directly monetize their work via subscription-based free market environment. It just so happened to be taken over by the world's oldest profession. So if anything, it sounds as if she was using it for what it was actually created for.

I know there is no chance, but a lineup of Bassett-Kannon Webster-Melvin Miller-Braeden Scoles at Illinois would be nails. Poeta would teach the slick stuff and if AOC sticks around he has one of, if not the, best front-head series in the country for short offense/defense wins matches. Those four could seriously push each other to a murderers' row of national champs.

Is Dr. Kemererererer ready?

Mongush convincingly won Euros a couple months ago so I would say he is solid. He also took second at the Albania rankings tourney up at 61 immediately prior to Euros and his loss was to Takara (Japan) who just won Asia so it's not a bad loss by any stretch. Regarding Pavlov - Losing to Lilledahl isn't exactly a blemish either. It's not conjecture that he is ready now to compete at the senior level and will be a medal threat within a year or two at most, it's just a matter of when he can break through domestically first.
