He has to actually do something in freestyle though

When Zahid meets Brooks again and definitively wins:

Everyone is very high on Alirez with good reason. But I think he has a stinker next weekend. Just a crummy gut feeling that I hope is wrong I also think Lee does not make the finals at 65. Spencer tech/pins his way into the finals.

It's hard to get over myself. My bridge is still as bad as when I got pinned all the time so idk what makes you think I can all of a sudden get off my back at this age.

John Smith couldn't go undefeated in the world tournaments he won. If he wrestled a traditional bracket tourney then he would not have 6 golds. Burroughs has a Mickey Mouse 7th title in 2021 at 79 eight weeks after the Olympics but he earned the other 6. Advantage: Burroughs. And good call-out that Snyder is one of the best but THE best of his generation was in front of him. Tank>JB

It's not up to the people who run the sport. It is up to the International Olympic Committee. They said "Hey wrestling, thanks for the shakedown money and in return you can have 72 medals across however many versions of your sport you want and you have to do double bronze to increase interest. Figure it out."

The fact that I am out here in these streets defending Dake and Taylor makes me sick to my stomach

tl;dr if Dake is only second-best in the world he's a bum but you will root for (against) him if he gets the spot

Tony Ramos thought the same thing. Rob Koll to Stillwater: CONFIRMED

"if multiple time world champ and most recent world silver medalist attempts go-to move then he doesn't deserve the spot" lol ok. He didn't hit it last time. What's to say he doesn't again? If your kid doesn't finish a shot do you tell them to quit shooting?

Brackets will not be released until Monday. Final brackets will be produced after weigh-ins Saturday morning.

KOT: why not just cradle him?

Imagine how Dake is going to feel if Burroughs has to wrestle the whole tournament, goes three matches, and wins it all. Does he finally admit that JB was better all those years?

That was mighty close but Chamizo has played with fire for the entirety of his career and with Father Time banging on his door it caught up to him last weekend. He needs to come out with zest at last chance or he's going to be watching on Peacock with the rest of us

Bassett already released his list of schools. Unfortunately no theological schools were listed. I'm sure Aaron Brooks is praying for his heathen ass.

Pics or it didn't happen. Oh wait... Do not normalize him.

Oh no not the gay women producing at the highest level! Hit the bricks and drag your lip tf outta here.

2015 world team trials Anthony Valencia has entered the chat

Not belittling, just pointing out that Elor entered in pretty much every single other tournament. For what it's worth I think anyone who makes a senior team (top 3) should lose all eligibility below. If you can hang with the big dogs it's time to quit playing with the age group. If you win a world senior title you have absolutely no business in age group stuff as that's stealing developmental opportunities.

I bet if you were good enough to go this route you would have a different opinion.

Only because Elor didn't feel like winning that trophy too

Just a reminder that Pat Downey Jr. aka BlueDragons owes $100 to a Champaign, IL women's and children's shelter for losing a bet. I matched his outstanding gift in good faith and maybe that scumbag family can come through because better late than never to do the right thing. If he does show up (he won't) then I hope he gets a rematch with Aaron Brooks round one and the tech fall limit is raised to 100 points.

57 and 65 are already qualified for AINal so yes that is correct

For three reasons, in order: 1) NBC pays more than Russia for Olympic broadcasting rights. 2) Russia consistently gears up for war during the Olympics and attacks the day after completion. That's bad press for the Olympics. When America does it, we pick random Tuesdays in non-Olympic years. 3) Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent massive shockwaves across the global economy. When America sends the world into a recession it's because we let strippers get million dollar subprime mortgages and give everyone in the country a credit card at birth. Big difference between white collar and blue collar crimes if you know what I'm saying.

Brooks barely beat Zahid. It was not a blow out unless you are talking about Zahid's lungs at the end of the match. I will gladly take wagers that Taylor wins his series 2-0 over anyone in the 86 bracket
