Given that Dake's matches were much closer with Zahid than anyone else, I'd think old man Dake is closer to the top than we realized. Does he have any dual citizenship he can fall back on? Got to feel for the guy despite all his success - he's been held off World/Olympic teams now by Zahid, Cox and JB. Murderers row!

Should he, probably. Will he? I doubt it. The Brands have their talons deep deep in him, they can't afford to see him move on. Hell, he probably should've moved on years ago after they made it perfectly clear they were willing to sacrifice his knees for temporary rewards.

So if Zahid dominates the final what are the odds the US has the best 2 86KGs in the world?

Dude has some wild triceps.

Lol are we still calling recreational pot/thc drugs in 2025? C'mon people.

History would point to at least one of these kids flaming out hard once they taste college freedom and escape some of that parental control. The question is who will it be?

Does DT also get implicated here?

If any percentage of this is true, the PED/Steroid accusations are going to become much more believable. Having said that, I don't really think Cael probably had any knowledge of this and shouldn't be punished unless proven otherwise.

Nah, if anything this seems super plausible due to the way Carter has always presented himself. I'd think everyone in the wrestling community has been in contact with someone like this in the past and he just fits that archetype. Beau on the other hand has always been high-character, so I don't think they are materializing victims out of thin air. There's always been smoke regarding Starocci, people are just seeing the fire now.

And then he turned 2X Champ Mcdonough in the finals soo your point is moo...

Interesting match-up for sure. Definitely see Robles turning Spencer when he's on top. But then again Spencer is the strongest 125 OTA so maybe Robles wouldn't be able to hold him like everyone else. Give me 125LB Michigan Suriano over either.

I'd imagine you'd see a LOT more shady stall calls at key moments. The international refs have more of a flair for the dramatic after all.

It'd be really interesting to see what countries invest in having a top game.

Carr's best strategy Outslick and pull out all stops for match 1. Sandbag Match Two, just take the L. Get match 3 to as close to a toss up as possible and hope for the best.

Well known fact that Dake has never been younger.
