You do know Trump wrestled in high school, right? He’s been a huge fan of combat sports for decades—helped the UFC in its early days, attended old-school UFC events before it was mainstream, and has been a regular at major boxing matches. Almost everything humans do is transactional to some degree, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. He showed up to bring eyes to the sport and support wrestling—something he has a long-documented history with. If that bothers you, it seems more like a personal issue than an actual critique of his presence at the event Let’s also not ignore the fact that Trump has never attended an NCAA Basketball championship, a sport which dwarfs the NCAA wrestling championships in terms of viewership and media attention. Wouldn’t you think he’d attend that instead of a niche NCAA wrestling tournament with maybe 50k viewers if he was simply seeking attention?

DC is absolutely the worst commentator of all time. Guy just won a national title and instead you take away his limelight talking about his 6’3 volleyball famous on tiktok girlfriend i guarantee you dc knows nothing about theee wrestlers or their stories

No. Aj is going to IOWA.

So glad Beau Stallett does not advance to the finals !

David Taylor has wrestled upper-middle weight basically his whole college and senior career. Troy Spratley is a light weight. OSU employs other experienced past lightweight wrestlers to coach other lightweights. OSU has Thomas Gilman who wrestled as a lightweight and was an accomplished wrestler. Cael does not sit for all his wrestlers for all matches. Especially for the lightweights.

With all the NIL money floating around you know they aren’t gonna test for peds even if he were caught. There’s too much $ invested in these kids. U can thank nil for corrupting the sport

This kid kasak has to be on something PEDs. Explains the concussion issues - neurological problems, acne, back muscles like a body builder, puffer up cheeks and lips, disgusting Bet he weighs 170-175 come mat time. Bet he takes diuretics to cut weight. Would also explain the light headedness and concussion issues. He splatters out his whole meal before weigh ins through the rear

Why is bo nickel wasting time wrestling all the time folkstyle and cornering Japanese dudes. He should be delegating all that energy in mma

The ultimate goal of wrestling is not pinning, it is to simply score more points than the opponent. I agree that back exposure should be worth more points though. Passivity: does not attempt or execute any holds. is satisfied just to neutralize the opponent's efforts, blocking holds. gives the impression of not trying to initiate effective holds. intentionally "plays the edge," flees the mat, or pushes the opponent away to avoid wrestling. holds the opponent by one or both hands to prevent him or her from wrestling. repeatedly fakes head throws; slips off; falls to the mat; lies flat on his or her stomach; locks his or her legs around the opponent's leg. in Greco-Roman wrestling, engages in combat with head thrust forward in order to prevent "body-to-body" contact.

And if they are unable to reach an adequate decision within such time frame? What do you suggest? They flip a coin?

Agreed, this would encourage more action on the edge and stop wrestlers from going out of bounds to escape a take down. This would also lend more favor for the wrestler controlling the center of the mat more, which just makes sense.

DC is very unprofessional. Shows up and thinks he's the cream of the crop cause he announces for the UFC (which he is equally bad at as well). He is one of those announcers that loves to hear the sound of his own voice rather than analyze and commentate a match. What an abomination.
