Amazing to have one domestically!

"Torn ACL! Don't f_____g matter!"

Oh, I remember how you felt! I wasn't talking about you!

I think him stumbling and falling for no reason and then limping after his quarter was a bit of a clue, even though some posters here don't really believe it happened, or was faked, and/or got a chuckle out of it. (Yes, this was a discussion on here)

Interesting point made on FRL: Apparently there has been tension at World/Olympic camps bc NLWC coaches are there watching Spencer and presumably scouting him for RBY. Understandable from the coaches POV; I mean if you are going to coach a transfer wrestler, you may as well coach him 100%. Still very icky. "Spygate," but worse. Also claimed Spencer yelled "USA!" at Nick Lee.

Did he wrestle LJ Araujo or Darian Cruz in BTS? He would be more likely to do that in private, assuming he still feels that way. Were you the guy who was heckling him at OTT?

He just defeated the world less than 100%. No one made it the distance, but you just picked two college kids with zero senior hardware over him.

LOL That didn't take long "I got the whole world telling me that I'm overrated. I'm just glad I was able to win one, right?"

Oh wow! I thought that was speculation by Mr. PB!

What did he say? I don't have volume.

I love it; but feel it was prob something like "How'd you like that?!"

And again... So predictable and so easy to manipulate...

And there you are as predicted... can't help yourself... so weak-minded

Apparently words DO affect you bc you have 4500 posts explaining how little you care about others' opinions, but still you'll be back later today to respond that you don't care... when you clearly do. (More than most people)

I would imagine he has a degree.

I think you're correct. But does that apply to guys who transferred before the rule? And did RBY actually "transfer" as he never represented the US?

Thanks for the clarification!

What haven't I believed that you have said? And apparently something is bothering you...

I only say this because he has brought it up, including unprompted yesterday. When someone says something bothers them, I tend to believe it.

I believe Lee is bothered by the criticisms of his parents and his coaches, and he has said as much.

It would require a transfer fee and maybe sitting out; depending on the current rule and how Mexico were to feel about things. I know the US is making it tougher and tougher for guys to transfer. They are taking it seriously. Also allegedly barred RBY from a National team training camp that was held in PA a couple years back. Non- national team guys used to be able to go to these things in the past, bc training partners are needed. Not RBY anymore, or so the story went. If anyone knows the details, please include them or correct me. If he did transfer back and repped the US, I'd be all-in on RBY; just like I was when the hated Drew Bledsoe ended up with the Buffalo Bills.

It wasn't a thing yet, other than the occasional American representing Puerto Rico or a few other places. For the most threats to Americans. One of my most frequent training partners wrestled for PR. He flirted with top 10 world?Olympic placings but unlikely would have been a top 10 at a fully attended US Open. (He tried to get me to represent Ireland... wasn't happening.) The situation with Americans representing other countries and being a threat has only developed in the past 3-4 years. I believe Micic was the first American to outplace the US rep; then we had the near disaster with our Pan Am qualifier performance. To my knowledge, JB hasn't had any real comp from American transfers, but had his issues with guys training here like Chamizo and Bekzod. So he really never had a personal reason to weigh in on American transfers.

But why are we coming back to this?

Ironically, my "dumb take" mentioned the people who pay for international wrestlers to train at US clubs and beat Americans...
