Better odds: Gomez makes the olympics or NCAA finals? I say olympics

Even if you only get one match, the real world champs is the work that is put in along the way. If a youth wrestler is so advanced and experienced as to make a world team then the entire family is keenly aware that you may only get one match. As JB stated, this isn't a fourth grader weekend tourney.

No you don’t. If you did then you would understand.

Connect and cut lingo has entered the chat

Haha I thought the same thing when it was finally announced. Might as well just make it an NCAA version of the Dapper Dan. It would probably get more viewers in all honesty.

You are going to hurt someone's fee-fees with this kind of blue collar attitude

It really does not seem to be advantageous to any of the challengers to do so. They force themselves to make scratch 3x instead of just once if they win: challenge tourney/match + Pan Am + OTT. Especially at 57. Knowing how tough the cut is for Gilman, Vito, Fix, and Richards it really does seem silly to make weight multiple times when the strategic advantage is to only make Richards make it 2x (Pan Am + OTT). At least Vito can sit until the semis (and same with Retherford if he decides to cut back down to *65 which the eye test says will be a tough cut). I get the whole competitor’s mentality aspect but strategically I don’t.

I read it to be a ladder match scenario but that would be akin to the old ways. A deadline to challenge followed by a mini tourney is a much better scenario for all.

Pan Ams is going to have more expats than a Hong Kong finance convention. Hopefully there are as few pre-finals matchups as possible. At 57 (US rep, RBY, Cruz) and 65 (US rep, Gomez, O'Neill) at least one person will have to go to the global last chance.

Expect little activity from the big boys prior to conference duals this year. There will be an increased focus on 1) get through finals 2) senior nats. Enjoy the holidays and expect some headscratching January results from marquee wrestlers while shaking off the folkstyle rust.

What do you mean "was"

Dake’s kink: cosplaying as schoolgirl

Then they should wrestle at more “rankings” events to earn the #1 seed such as showing up to UWW events, Farrell etc. That high participation rate worked out quite well for Seabass at the world level and would be easily applied at the domestic level. But just like worlds, you can only do so much about the draw before you have to plain old beat the rest of the bracket to win the spot. McKenna has been a good example of this over the past year.

What if the beads make you the best chess player in the world?

Ryan is in the tunnel because it's a well-known fact that tOSU doesn't know how to get out when it matters most

Pretty sure he's done because he left his shoes on the mat again in his latest insta story

Wasn't a bug. It was a Kazakhstan feature.

He has competed at 57kg at all but two competitions throughout his senior career spanning from 2018 to present. Why is it so hard to believe that a career 57 weighed in at 57? https://uww.org/athletes-results/micic-stevan-andria-15077-profile

Which was what exactly for those of us in the peanut gallery?

Yeah because Micic had an all-time dream draw. It was totally better than the gauntlet Seabass had to overcome… smh this is dumber than the Nelson Brands thread

That’s why *UWW introduced Ethereum blockchain draws in December 2019.

Glad I bought some stock in Reynolds last night
