  1. I know some of the wrestling posters don’t look at this forum but hoping to keep some of the discussion about this here. First of all, regardless of politics you gotta agree that it’s cool that the President was there. He actually did seem to be enjoying himself and stayed until the end. The timing of his entrance was awkward in terms of interrupting Starocci’s interview though, not sure whose fault that was. Elon also talking about it I’m sure got some more people talking about it, not sure if it actually got any more people to watch. But posts like this from “influencers” is what annoys me about when politics get involved in wrestling, no need to turn this into a left vs right thing:
  2. Update: every champion had at least 23 matches entering the tournament, and Byrd was the only one with less than 25 (23).
  3. No, IMO. I don’t like adding more subjectivity. I don’t think guys running away was any worse than Byrd winning on a stall call. Cael may have been on to something when he said just get rid of stalling completely.
  4. Good question. I thought for sure that was a TD
  5. He won WTT/Final X in 2023. It’s fair to wonder how we would have done against the rest of the world, but less than 2 years ago he was still the best in the US.
  6. lol they weren’t a train wreck, but I agree that this performance is really going to launch his coaching career and make guys want to go there even more than they did already.
  7. I like the 3 pt TD purely because of the difficulty of getting one. But I think the apparent tentativeness is partially due to the way reaction time is called. Get rid of reaction time and I think some of that goes away.
  8. Kinda agree. I’d be curious to see data if there were actually more 1-1 SV matches though, or if it’s just recency bias
  9. Bump! Full disclosure I did not take @boconnell’s bet and picked Steveson in my Lineup Legends entry (but as I said originally I wasn’t sure who it would be to beat him)
  10. Shouldn’t that have been a stall on Gable?
  11. needs to go a different weight than Mesenbrink though. But doubt he could get to 157 and don’t see him beating Haines
  12. “Can you take off your headgear and show us how pretty you are” lolololol
  13. If by “allowed,” you mean called twice for stalling, sure I guess. For the people complaining the matches are boring, is it really any better to win on a stall call like 133?
  14. How many more times do you want them to hit him? He could’ve taken another
  15. It’s better than zero takedowns and run like at 125 and 149
  16. Agree, but wouldn’t have changed anything in this match
  17. More challenges for stalling, really?
  18. DC surprised walking someone out from top is stalling, had he watched any matches prior to this weekend?
  19. Agree, I’m coming around to criteria. It would also save a lot of time at tournaments.
  20. Jordan Burroughs must have gotten feedback about not talking about himself as much. He said Lovett was the first Nebraska champ since 2011 but didn’t even point out that it was himself
  21. Adam Tirapelle is not going to be happy about that call being overturned
  22. You including Starocci in this?
  23. They need a bigger OOB area
  24. Or lose? Looked like Hardy was carrying them off the mat
