No correct throws and no slips, no restarts from them. You score or you don't.

Carl said "you're a 6x world medalist and 3x champ (add 1 to each if you count the Mickey Mouse worlds) and you have never lost to Zahid. You can go whatever weight you want."

Zahid 15 seconds to get on the board yeeesh. Let's see how long until his gas tank goes down to empty

No silly crow goes cawww

He's not wrestling for redemption. He's wrestling from it. Bold tweet from Rudis

It will definitely start on time, the question is when and how many times will it stop

A twist you say?

i think it's above my head now 6 foot 7 foot

This is actually a really good one

Reviews are limited to 2 minutes TOTAL from time of whistle. I don't care if it's the last two seconds of Gable vs Snyder in a tie match. Keep the action moving. Amplitude but it should be rewarded even higher. 6 points. Let the fur fly and make some highlights rather than scrambles. Every competitor must wear a 100% jesus trained shirt or bandana Main event must be a three man cage match between Starocci, Focus, and Bartlett's wife If you met me at the halfway point of my requests it would be great. You can pick whichever two that make you happiest @Husker_Du Additionally, if this is a financial success can you please invest a little back into a more ad-friendly forum experience kthx.

Love a good Biz Nasty sighting. I will never forget what he taught me about leather Cheerios

Did anyone have Beau Bartlett's wife achieving what Gable Steveson has been chasing on their bingo card?

This may be anecdotal and recency bias with Askren and now Brooks, but it really seems like pneumonia has been much more widespread and more severe this year across the age spectrum, at least in Illinois.

I didn't realize they were bringing back the 118 weight class

RBY deserves a spot for his contribution to the sport. He taught us all that a person can win with one arm tied behind their back.

Because it's not freestyle and until he proves himself, the Focus is unfortunately the focus of 285 based on real accolades. Just like 197 every year he has competed, the weight has cleared out and is devoid of any major competition. Only one of them has winners' bracket wins leading to a Final X appearance; the other is clinging to a cadet? juniors? world finalist appearance but he sure can ride the piss out of anyone like a donkey with a leaky catheter and his defense is on par with the most cringey sexual assault defense lawyers in Oklahoma.

Maybe Gym Jordan should have spoken up.

But anyways Snyder was so lame that he only beat 3x champ Cox (2x world champ in freestyle), 2x and reigning champ Gwiz (2x world medalist), and 3x AA Coon (reigning senior silver medal). Other than his Olympic run, Steveson only beat Mason Parris who to his credit was only able to get a senior bronze after Steveson stepped away. But nah. The hit list is nowhere near comparable. ESPECIALLY because Steveson, who should be in his prime but chose other endeavors (which I support!!) but isn't, came back to wrestling and lost in the style we are talking about. He. Lost. Was he NCAA? Yes. Did he lose? Yes. Did he have a better NCAA resume? No.

Weight classes exist for a reason, except in the US for an inferior domestic style.

I am an old and my Illinois bias will never acknowledge your knowledge!

TJ Williams only lost one match, but that's because he didn't wrestle frosh year and that counts. Juergens and Schwab shouldn't make the cut. Look at their historical comps- just not fair and it greatly undermines their talent. Brent "I lost a match every year, and I lost a year" Metcalf does not belong in the conversation. Sorry not sorry.

Wasn't even the best parallel ride staller in his own family if you ask me

Burroughs was the best 65 his senior year. I know this because he won a senior world title. Unlike David Taylor who, stop me if you've heard this story before, could only win when a better guy wasn't at his weight anymore. Historical bonus points mean nada.

Snyder was better than Steveson by any number of metrics. More NCAA titles, beat better NCAA competition, won more world an Olympic titles while in college, beat objectively better competing at NCAAs multiple years, paved the way for a low-match/ high previous senior level-accolades Hodge, didn't lose his last match, and I'm sure more that I'm not rattling off memory. That said, Steveson will win their fangirl vote. Thank you for joining my soapbox.
