  1. Eddie is the only one in that group that repeatedly makes it his goal to go to rideouts.
  2. Eddie is an awful choice for the All Star
  3. Matsavant.com has match histories, free without intrusive ads
  4. He seems like a good dude, but I'm kind of tired of hearing him to be honest
  5. Lilledahl-McGowan pt I and II
  6. From Emojipedia: Folded Hands Emoji Meaning Two hands placed firmly together, meaning please or thank you in Japanese culture. A common alternative use for this emoji is for prayer, using the same gesture as praying hands. It can also represent a respectful greeting or show of adoration many in Southeast Asian religions and cultures, such as the Hindu namaste or Buddhist añjali mudra. Rarely used as a high-five, despite often being suggested as one by emoji keyboard search features. ... Namaste
  7. That is from last year. This year they removed the part that made the U23 WTT winner the next in line. The current rules dictate the USAW coaches will make a selection at 97kg. Rademacher missed earning it by one match.
  8. Who should get the U23 spot at 97 kg?
  9. It's a nice theory except they literally never break any news. It can't be access journalism without the journalism.
  10. Two Shutt teams made the finals so they just forfeited... Seems dumb
  11. No, ideally you have 30 different guys wrestling at Senior/U23/U20 Worlds for the sake of the depth and development. To me, Senior Worlds matters 100x as much as all the age divisions combined, so I prefer a process that optimizes for the best Senior teams long-term. The U20 Open and Trials tournaments are very deep at most weights. The U23 challenge tournament is not. At all. The tournaments themselves are good for development and it would be a shame for the U20 tournaments to become basically meaningless like the U23 tournament.
  12. As I said... Robideau just went through one of the deepest weight classes in recent memory. PJ Duke is an offensive dynamo and has been hailed as a generational talent and he struggled mightily to score on Robideau. Predicting him to get bonused is crazy. You'll have to point out the weaknesses in his game if you think that.
  13. Larkin was basically the only person who could take Robideau down all year and he never got more than one in a match. I don't recall anyone turning Robideau either. Maybe in IMar's era of flash takedowns without control he gets a couple scores, but no more than that. Robideau is extremely strong, hand fights well, and has excellent reattacks. In the modern era where takedowns require control, he might not score at all on Robideau. And IMar gave up plenty of takedowns as well, so Robideau would get his, likely on reattacks since IMar shoots a lot.
  14. Wait until the holdback police look into that year
  15. Your big plea is for 2nd place to be more competitive??
  16. Henson could have turned him to his belly and then turned him to his back. Or gone for the pinfjall like bnw said. It's not Ridge's job to help Henson score. Also if the refs properly awarded the 2 for Ridge with 30 seconds left, this would all be moot.
  17. Not just visually, that would flip the outcome from 5-4 Luke to 5-4 Spencer
  18. No someone said he had an illness
  19. The ones who can't wrestle and the old, out of shape ones are lame! Lol. Can't wait to watch Khamzat though and if Arman is on every card I won't complain
  20. I didn't realize the ref gifted Robideau the reversal and rideout
  21. Not a hot take. Robideau had the toughest tournament run and it's not close. 157 was the deepest weight and he went through the 3 guys who were most-predicted to win the weight and two other very tough guys to start.
  22. So if he called the Hodge award a worthless piece of shit, that's fine? I disagree. I don't think he meant anything by his caption. I think the "dust collector" quip was just more false modesty, like his handshake line at the podium.
  23. The one about the 3-day tournament that's the pinnacle of the sport is longer than the others? Crazy
