I would venture to say you have no idea what communism is ... or fascism or democracy or much of anything else. If you can't see the Orange Stain's inveterate corruption, lies, narcissism, hate, megalomania, and incompetence, you never received even the semblance of an education. Perhaps this is a simpler image for you, along with a few simple words. Jellyfish have no heart and no brain, and because their mouth is also their anus, they eat and poop through the same hole.

Nolf has hammered Carr both times they've wrestled. 10-0 and Fall.

Nolf lost to Wick under RAF rules 10-8 when he wasn't training freestyle that much. He has also tech-ed Wick twice (10-0 both times) in previous World Team and Olympic Trials.

Who will get hurt by a 5-in-5 rule? Answer: Starocci. They may rename his street or demote it to the status of a back alley if someone ties his 5 championships. The Erie City Council voted to rename the 1000 block of West 30th Street in Erie, Pennsylvania, to "Carter Starocci 5X Way" to honor the Penn State wrestler's five NCAA Division I titles.The resolution was passed unanimously on May 7, 2025, sponsored by Councilman Chuck Nelson to recognize the local native's historic achievements

Just to keep things in perspective, Bassett lost within the past year to the NCAA 4th place finisher at 133 pounds (Blaze) who bumped up to 65KG in freestyle. And he only scored one point in the match. Hmm. Would BB win 133?

A friendly reminder to those who are down on Blaze's defensive style and up on Bassett's offensive approach that Blaze beat Bassett less than a year ago at the World Team Trials ... and at 65KG no less:

I think Sealy won five matches on the backside to finish third after only losing 3-2 to Green on the front side. Impressive run

What is up with Kasak?. In three straight matches, he keeps stopping the action and holding his face or eyes or head

The matches are underway but there are technical difficulties. You can at least see the scores here: https://www.usabracketing.com/events/be0bb49d-08af-42ca-a3c5-dbf428aad895/dashboard

No one associated with the tournament offers clear information or an explanation (let alone an apology) about the correct schedule. American navel-gazing narcissism at its worst. They just waste the time of fans upon whom the sport depends. This is what the USA wrestling website: 4:00 PM 8:15 PM Session VI: Senior Men Freestyle - Semifinals & Consolation

This is like sitting on a runway and waiting indefinitely for the plane to take off. No one (USA wrestling, Flo, etc.) tells you anything about delays or changes of plans or equipment issues. The FS semis were supposed to start at 7 PM EST but they go radio silent and no one provides an update. It's the height of irresponsibility and bad for the sport.

Bernie Truax is wrestling with a club called "Having Fun". So far, it's working. He just teched his first opponent in 25 seconds

Addendum: After some additional research, it may be the case that Endene's initial extended eligibility (to date) was made possible by a specific NCAA ruling (often cited alongside the "Diego Pavia" case) that allowed former junior college athletes an additional year if their eligibility was expiring. However, was his 2025–26 season at Iowa cut short by injury or was it really some difference with the coaching staff or something more personal. I'm guessing it was the latter rather than the former. Anyone know for certain? It seems at times that some athletes are trying to get medical redshirts for hanged toenails, bad haircuts, or bruised egos. Maybe the NCAA should initiate a "Snowflake" Rule in this regard.

As Sartre said, "Hell is other people". And I would add, especially people who believe there is some religiously-based place called hell that is different from a metaphorical hell on earth

It looks like Mark Bader (FLO) had a couple of wins in the Master's division today. 62KG, I believe. I think he may have made the World Championships one year with a win at the US Open
