Here is one video I’ve shown to some people in the past where Parsons and I presume another PSU football player get dominated by some wrestlers in the “lumberjack circuit” And yes Jimmy, I know Parsons is going to make more money than any of these guys can dream of. Although I guess if Bo is as good in the UFC as some think he could certainly make more than many NFL players.

Widely being considered the best player in the NFL right now, and an actual fan of watching wrestling. I know there was a past thread on here talking about how he stopped wrestling before high school so this may seem counterintuitive, but we need to accept that many guys that actually have NFL potential will stop wrestling to focus on football as they get older. However I believe he has credited wrestling for helping him develop some of the traits that make him so dominant. Anyone have a link to a recent interview/article where he does this? Was hoping to send to a friend :) But you can add him to the list of people in the NFL (Sean McDermott another) praising wrestling as helping develop elite football players. So even if wrestling loses some that truly have NFL or at least D1 football potential where you can’t really blame them, if more coaches and parents see the link between wrestling and football, wrestling could gain more younger participants.

Well 40% of the MFS champs came from the NCAA, so seems pretty good.

Why will it be more challenging at UNC than Cornell or Stanford? It’s a good academic school but easier to get into than those 2, with a great campus in a cool city with warm weather

I would venture a guess that it’s pretty rare for someone to get over even like 3 minutes of riding time and not score any nearfall. Folkstyle definitely isn’t perfect though, and I’d agree that stalling on top is one area for improvement. And hopefully it is improved with the new rule.

Maybe. I think 57 at least just shows how little separation there is in the whole world. I mean Richards beat Gilman AND Suriano, it’s not like he “only had to train to beat 1 guy.” And Micic won the whole thing despite of course being no guarantee to even have won the US spot

Yes I know he’s downstairs drilling, but is Suriano still wrestling?

Or maybe Vito redshirts this year but finishes up his undergrad then does grad school at Binghamton so he can still train at Spartan? I know he says he doesn’t want to stay in school but I assume he’s more referring to undergrad Mostly joking, I know this isn’t going to happen

If Fix is at the same weight as Vito, Brooks and Starocci are higher confidence for me in my opinion, and yes I know Vito majored Fix last year. I think Vito wrestles 133 but doesn’t get too big

Except in this case the argument is they could have not allowed him to wrestle. Which is true.

Agreed. Up until this year, you’d also think the other guy should’ve at least also gotten 2 in the clip I posted. But I guess now NCAA will be similar with reversals being worth less than takedowns…

I saw someone suggesting it in the other thread, and the OP said “can Vito make the weight,” so it seems some people aren’t so sure

Zero chance Vito and Yianni wrestle the same weight IMO

You get a point for escaping, it’s not your fault if the other guy doesn’t try to stop you. You shouldn’t get a point for running a spiral ride for a minute straight anymore with the new rules. Good refs don’t let fans influence them. I do think freestyle is a good product overall. But the few things I dislike are pretty big, with this and being able to roll across the mat for a tech in 20 seconds being the other one.

I’m sorry, but I don’t see why this should be any points for red. Other guy gets in on the shot AND finishes on top. (To be clear, nothing to do with Micic, just the scoring system)

Whatever form of money is a C with 2 horizontal lines through it, someone on x/twitter says to watch just Worlds on UWW+ is 15 of those

Wouldn’t be surprised. Be careful what you wish for…

You can watch wrestling on a thermostat?

That's good to hear. Looked like he had a decent amount of weight to cut based on the plastics and like 5 sweatshirts he was wearing in that Flo interview

I did, then clicked on a different bracket and back and it worked

It says it's not available in the US, so I guess you'd need that AND the VPN. But they appear just as deceptive (maybe moreso?) as Flo/Rokfin, and don't even show any pricing until you enter login credentials. Gotta love having a list of FAQ's but doesn't include "how much does it cost"

Minnow claiming that Hahn is interested. He has actually been pretty accurate recently...

Martin is really from NJ. But you can replace him with Brooks
