    For those watching on ESPN+, how the hell do you determine which of the multiple feeds are a specific mat.  I'm doing a hunt and search effort that takes forever to fine the right mat.

    It says the Mat # at the end of the title. What type of device are you viewing on? Mobile, laptop, or TV?

    Gotcha. Btw I thoroughly appreciate all the data you provide. Not trying to discredit all your hard work at all. I just think that this particular data set is skewed a bit by Brooks somehow getting the 3 seed and Dean getting the 9 seed. I think Brooks is a clear #1 at his weight and IMO he’s the third mostly likely to win out of all the weights (behind Lee and Yianni). Dean deserved the 9 seed but he’s much more likely to win it all than your typical #9

    I think Brooks is more likely than Yianni. Brooks is a machine and I am still shocked that he was upset this season. I expect to see him in the top 3, at worst, for most tourney points this weekend. He's a baaaaaad man

    He would have lost to a guy that never AAed or a guy that peaked by taking 8th at ncaas? I’m sorry that doesn’t track 

    I was referring to losing to Brooks losing to Zahid. The seeding comment was that Brooks likely would have been seeded ahead of Lujan and Bolen. I believe Brooks would have beaten everyone but Zahid that year.

    Brooks would have a silver medal in 2020 if it weren't for an unstoppable combo of covid and someone skiing the slopes of Rome. He was likely going to come in as the 2 seed over Lujan and Bolen so would have still made it to the finals, but an upset was highly unlikely that year. His 4th will come with an elite asterisk.

    ...and his involvement in wrestling?  

    If you are going to argue disingenuously, then what is the point of this?

    The point I raised in the Russia thread is that Americans shouldn't throw stones in glass houses because we have a very dirty past, present, and future and that wrestling is no different. The difference between Russia and USA is state vs. privatized, just like our societies. I provided a significant group who has tested dirty in the past 4 years and were suspended. It is a fair and logical assumption to assume, especially using the greco national team all popping for the same substance as evidence, that others associated were also using and either did not get tested or beat testing (this would be at the group/RTC, or private, level most likely). I also used a very prominent high level athletic group led by Alberto Salazar as a strong example that apparently did not resonate with you.

    Must've been Alberto Salazar, Mark Kerr, Mark Coleman and the rest of the American Olympic Doping Illuminati that he was conspiring with!

    You can beat a dead horse all you want, but in layman's terms Alberto Salazar was the CEO of Nike and USA middle and long distance running, and you can see all the pops through the years at a domestic and global scale. But you do you amigo.

    Looks like Robles got demoted again with Burroughs on the main broadcasts. Shane Sparks would actually do a much better job with the dreaded after match interviews than Quint. Not that he exactly would want to do it.

    I don’t think you can find anyone better for the Matcast than Sparks, and I also agree that he would deliver top notch Saturday night interviews.

    Pumped for more JB after his work at the Olympics. Not so pumped for his pairing but it is what it is. 

    Sparks was really good last year on the Matcast. His high energy is awesome for what could easily be a long three day drag for many announcers. Perfect pairing.

    Bummed we don't get some combination of Rock, Robles, and JB at the same time. That would be a fantastic pairing... one day hopefully...

    How do I watch individual mats, the Octobox, and upcoming assignments?

    Just like last year, you need an ESPN+ subscription. You may already have this if you have a Disney/Hulu bundle, or you may have it separately. 

    I don't know if I have ESPN+  /  How do I get a subscription?

    Click this link here

    Is it easy to cancel?

    Yes. Unlike some companies that support wrestling, ESPN+ is very easy to cancel after your three day nattys bonanza.

    How much does it cost?

    As cheap as $9.99 for a one-month subscription. You can also choose from the a la carte for an annual package or build custom bundles with Disney+ and Hulu

    What can I watch ESPN+ on?

    Smart TVs and smart sticks like Roku and Amazon. You can also watch from your computer.

    Can I watch on multiple devices?

    Yes! Last year I had 4 big screens and a laptop. My setup would make Jagger jealous.
