Who's the troll?

I'll give you that it should be in international, but it is very much a wrestling topic.

We can agree to disagree. I have a darker view of how many women end up in this industry in the first place. And that is the root of our disagreement.

I don't think anyone in their late 20s just gets a wild hair one day and decides to order a hooker. There is likely a lot of things that led to this, and I don't think those are going to make this news any more palatable. Typically when someone gets caught in a situation like this, there is a lot more that comes out after the initial discovery.

Because it is illegal and there is absolutely a chance that if this wasn't a sting, that Kyle Snyder would have been soliciting prostitution from someone that was trafficked into the industry. He is participating in what is currently a very toxic exchange that often involves a party that is only "willing" due to fear of the repercussions if they don't. I get what you're saying. If two consenting adults want to have sex with a monetary exchange, that should be legal. However, soliciting a black market service that relies heavily on human trafficking to provide sex workers? Yes, I absolutely have a problem with that. He shouldn't be excused because there should be a better system in place. He participated in what is currently a very dark and sad industry. And that's only what I think of him and the crime.. the fact that he would do this while having a wife and two kids at home is where it becomes a real scumbag act.

You're creating a straw man. No one said that prostitution should be illegal. They said that it currently is heavily connected to human trafficking. You can't excuse Kyle Snyder's solicitation of a prostitute because you believe it should be a regulated industry.

Yeah, try that argument with his wife.

It's a troll job.

Career and reputation are two very different things. Yes, he can continue to wrestle and many will root for him, but he will never be the role model that he was before this news came out.

I don't know if you saw my comment, it was the last one on the other page. I said the same thing. alliseeisgold has to be a jimmy burner. I will admit, he got me. It was a pretty funny troll. 10/10 work there.

Wtf are you talking about? He becomes more relatable because he's hiring a hooker to disrespect his wife and kids? Is this Kyle Snyder posting?

Ah yes, the moral standard of America, "the celebrity."

I only went back to about March 20th, I laughed pretty hard when I read your comment. That is definitely on my Mt. Jimmy Rushmore of 2025.

Which of these gems is your favorite Jimmy thread of the past two months? It was hard to narrow it down to just seven as Jimmy is such a generous giver. I think my personal favorites are "Should Bo Nickal retire from MMA?" and "Can Bo Bassett push Iowa from 4th to 2nd next year?" My vote goes to "Can Bo Bassett push Iowa from 4th to 2nd next year?" due to the fact that Bo Bassett as we all know.. will be in high school next year. Thank you for being so unapologetically you, Jimmy. This board wouldn't be nearly the same without you. Feel free to share with us which thread gave you the most delight from your end.

I'm not going to get into a religious debate, so I'm just going to say this. Old Testament be wilin'.

No! Stop it. We're not doing this.

If he was single, than I couldn't care less about the "crime." But no devout husband and wife have an agreement where the husband is allowed to commit illegal adultery. He let down his wife, his kids, and his fans. I don't have that strong of feelings on the whole matter because it has no effect on my life, but I do think he's a scumbag for this. I can't even fathom going online to look for a prostitute in general, let alone when you have a wife and kids at home. Slumming around online for a hooker is just gross.

This sounds more like being a pimp than a customer, at least in the first two bullets. The third goes without saying.

Jimmy, you know I respect your game, but this one was a miss.

125: Spratley dec. Peterson (3-0 OSU) 133: Ayala dec. Figs (3-3) Figs is 1-0 against Ayala though IIRC? 141: Jamison dec. Bailey (6-3 OSU) 149: Swiderski dec. Williams/Alvarez (9-3 OSU) 157: Williams/Alvarez dec. Travis (9-6 OSU) 165: Caliendo dec. Lockett (9-9) 174: Kennedy dec. Facundo (12-9 IOWA) I actually think this is a complete toss-up 184: Ferrari dec. Ryder (15-9 IOWA) 197: Merrill dec. Masome (15-12 IOWA) 285: Keuter dec. Doucet (18-12 IOWA) That being said, I wouldn't be very surprised to see results flip at 125, 133, 157, 165, 174, or 184. I think all of those matches are within the margins. That's potential for a lot of swing in the dual. It should be a treat. I see more upside for OSU than Iowa, but Iowa seems to be a clear favorite going in, so that makes sense.

why tf are we talking about 27 truzz?

125 Spratley vs Peterson 133 Figueroa vs Ayala 141 Hughes/Jamison vs Bailey 149 Swiderski vs Williams/Alvarez 157 Jamison/Travis vs Williams/Alvarez 165 Lockett vs Caliendo 174 Facundo vs Kennedy 184 Ryder vs Ferrari 197 Merrill vs Masome 285 Doucet vs Keuter

Who hurt you?

Nobody actually knows, but I think it's almost a certainty that Vega redshirts this year unless Jamison is going up and Hughes isn't going to be able to compete this season (heard it from someone on here that Hughes is currently hurt).

I get where you're coming from, but I think it depends on the kids and their style to consider how much room for improvement there is. Most of the time, guys who mature early and win a lot of matches based on technique, strength, and positioning are the ones who lack the capability of continuing their trajectory as blue chip prospects. For that reason, I think Jax is the top prospect of all of these guys. He wrestles like a Tasmanian devil a lot of the time, and gives up points at times because of it. Once he learns how to change his pace during matches, and cut down on the mistakes he makes when he gets over eager in positions, he could really make some jumps IMO. And that's saying something about a kid who just won the U.S. Open in a dominating fashion.
