I think you are wrong, there is a time and place for everything. That was a massive thread to discuss Final X and making the world team. It definately went off the rails and became about something else. The level of discourse had devolved to the point that the original topic of the thread is pointless.

To the original question of this thread, the only head to head for the OTT was DT vs BO. DT had Cunningham in his corner and Bo had Cody. Not sure what else he would be talking about unless there was something in the challenge tournament.

Chance beat the Iranian Ali Savadkouhi last year in the tournament in Tunisia then Savadkouhi beat Buroughs in the world cup. Chance should be a favorite to medal.

Yianni damn near lost to Musakaev it was 9-0 before Musa gassed. Musa destroys alot of people in the first 3 minutes then gasses. Nick doesn't gas. I wouldn't doubt if they wrestle again that it would be different.

I paid for it for 12 years and ditched it last year and haven't missed it. They do provide some free stuff which can be useful. Flo Arena is handy and the Youtube videos of events are ok, Seeing final x today shortly after the 1st round was a descent surprise. I wouldn't buy it again but their free stuff is handy.

It was temporary, once it went back to green I started again.

I started graysharting so I quit drinking.

And here I was this whole time thinking the Brands brothers were above reproach.

There are several great Sanders stories on the blog https://henryehooper.blog/witness-post-rick-sanders/ IOncluding a couple from Morris Johnson.

There are several podcasts That I have seen by Wrestling saved my life and Kyle Klingman etc. that have of his former teammates Gable, Don Behm etc. with some great Sanders stories. Gable recounted that he saw Sanders the morning of the day he was killed after being picked up hitchhiking, pretty interesting.

This isn't work This is for entertainment purposes only according to FRL.

The Angry fish is gonna bite you. Great club back in the day. Ray Brinzer and the Late great Ty Moore owned it I believe. They put out some studs. Coleman Scott was also in the club. Thanks for sharing.

I was shopping in the produce section of WalMart on Atherton Street in State College in 2010, my buddy was off somewhere else in the store. it was after a Penn State Dual and I was wearing a Penn State Wrestling shirt. A voice from about 20 feet away says "You are a Penn State Wrestling Fan Huh?" I turned around and there was this shorter fella with a suit on and his wife behind him. I said yeah, I've been a season ticket holder since before it was popular, I asked him if he was at the match. His Wife starts busting up laughing and says "He's the coach" LOL I was like oh shit Cody Sanderson.. We both got a good chuckle out of it and he stood and talked to me for about 10 minutes. Great guy. I meet up with my buddy about 10 minutes later and told him I just talked to Cody Sanderson in Produce. He didn't believe me at first.

Here is coach Waller talling about popping Nolf. Waller is an absolute nut. Always been super high energy.

The Russia trip starts at 28.00 ish

Nolf had a great podcast explaing his trip to Russia with Kyle Snyder and how they were escorted around by Sadulaev and the Dagestani's.

I'd be interested in hearing that as well. My Nephew and a couple of his teammates used to go to Coach Wallers summer camps.

That's awesome. Thanks for finding it.

I remember Morris on the boards. He always had great stories. I'd like to hear his Dave Schultz story.

Hey tread softly bud this is essentially a LJBGR+ thread.

This is by far my favorite post I have ever read on the wrestling boards for the last 20 years. I laugh every time I read it.

Personal or otherwise. Could be anything. The one that sticks out to me is Iowa's Randy Lewis talking about the time he wrestled Dave Shultz in practive. I know many of you have read or heard this story. but it is awesome. Randy lewis used to post on thematforums under the moniker Lewboo This is an epic post from the USA Wrestling forum by Randy Lewis about the late great Olympic and World Champ Dave Schultz. Lewis himself was a 1984 Olympic Wrestling Champion and an all time great. Dave Schultz couldn't turn me Postby lewboo » Fri Jan 31, 2014 3:33 pm With the Dave Schultz tournament going on this weekend, and my good friend Royce Alger telling his story about his first workout with Dave Schultz on Facebook, I thought it would be appropriate to tell my story of my first and ONLY workout with the great Dave Schultz. Dave was a great friend of mine, and we were teammates many times and were at training camps together many times, but I only got on the mat with him one time, for a total of just one minute. I would often roll around with bigger wrestlers in practice, but I was always afraid to wrestle Dave Schultz. Dave was the nicest guy in the world off the mat, but I knew that on the mat he was a different animal. I had seen enough of Dave Schultz in matches and in practice to know that on the mat he was as Stephen A Smith would say “A BAD MAN!!!” I always felt like if I were to wrestle him, I would be unable to protect myself. It turns out I was correct!!! I remember one time at the 1984 Olympic training camp and Dave didn’t have a partner and he asked me if I wanted to roll around a little. I said “Dave, I am not ever going to wrestle with you until I am retired! I don’t want to get hurt!” One year later, I had temporarily retired, and I was at a world team practice and guys were switching partners, and Dave said to me “Lewboo, now that you are retired you want to roll with me?” I said “Not really but I will for a little bit.” Just as I got paired up with Dave, coach Jim Humphries, who was running the practice announced, “1 minute periods, par terre, world team member on top!” I thought, really, one minute underneath Dave Schultz, that doesn’t sound very fun! Well, it took about 15 seconds for Dave to get my right foot placed up over my left ear, bending my body in a very painful way! My knee, my hip, my back, my neck, and my shoulder were all being wrenched at the same time! Pain was shooting through my entire body, and I was trying to roll over onto my back as fast as I could! Unfortunately for me I couldn’t move! Somehow, my neck and head got twisted so that my mouth and nose were stuck in the mat, and I couldn’t breathe. Not only was my body in severe pain, but now I was also suffocating, and I couldn’t reach Dave with either of my hands to tap out. My body somehow got stuck in a position where I couldn’t roll over, and Dave kept cranking harder and harder to try and turn me. I was stuck in this position for about 45 seconds, in severe pain and suffocating, unable to turn over and just as I started to black out, coach Humphries saved my LIFE by blowing the whistle. Dave let me go, and I rolled over onto my back, sobbing uncontrollably, and hyperventilating trying to catch my breath. Dave looked at me and said, wow, I can’t believe you didn’t turn over, I was really cranking hard. I said I was trying as hard as I could to turn over, but I couldn’t. I cried like a baby for about 5 minutes straight after that, and I never wrestled with Dave Schultz again. I have told this story to many other wrestlers when they ask me about Dave, and I follow it up by saying yeah, Dave was pretty good on top, but he couldn’t turn me! Writing this brings tears to my eyes and I and the wrestling world miss Dave so much, he was such a great person and such a great wrestler

I'm confused are you guys talking about Freestyle again?

Well it's not wrestling related but i used to pass a church outside of York Pa and the Pastors name was Richard Head. Always cracked me up.
