RAFWiki

I mean, that's what we've been doing with RAF Wiki. But the promotion's so young that it's still manageable. And Fandom has free web hosting, so there's no server costs to worry about.

Parrish retired in 2025 to take a 9-5 job with an AI company Makoyed works as a student-athlete mentor at North Central College

You have on more than one occasion relayed information in the first-person about Iowa as if you were in the room You should probably stop doing that

Yeah I'd support RAF doing occasional matches with different styles/rulesets as opposed to gimmicky shit like tag-team matches that some wrestlers were trying to make happen when the company first launched last year

Your son made a bullshit excuse as to why he couldn't hang in one of the most prestigious room in the country, and your response is to double-down on his cope Amazing

Medalling in Greco doesn't get your kids onto Wheaties boxes

You claimed TV viewership was down - I posted figures showing it really hasn't changed much in a decade Your "down 11%" claim came from this article: College Football Viewership Down 11% Through September vs. 2025 FBS game broadcasts are averaging 1.7 million viewers across all Nielsen-rated networks, which is down 11% compared to the first four weeks of the 2025 season, according to audience measurement data Nielsen provided to Front Office Sports. From the same article: Some of the drop-off can be attributed to bad luck. LSU and Clemson played again in Week 1, but this year Clemson was unranked, and the game was a 51-10 blowout. Alabama-Florida State met again in Week 3 and drew a respectable 7 million viewers on ABC before getting bumped to ESPN2 due to a weather delay. But we must ignore nuance and claim the sky is falling

On cable, but cable's been dying for a while Like I pointed out - the college football games on network TV get roughly the same viewership they got a decade ago And live attendance for all events is down in general - that's why newly built NFL venues have reduced capacities. Football is primarily a TV product now.

I'll raise you Scott Green doing a 45-minute InterMat podcast on the first year of RAF, and starting out with admitting he's never actually watched a RAF show:

Nick Kosko seems to be the only interviewer in wrestling who actually does background research on his guests beforehand. You don't have to be omniscient as a host, but prepping for interviews should be mandatory. I'm assuming Mark Bader and his ilk grew up watching Joe Rogan and think they can just smoke a blunt and wing it.

Can we lock LJB and Greco Review in an empty room together with a bottle of Zoloft Pretty sure they'd start making out before they ever touch the bottle

This is great Is there anything like this for Freestyle?

Translation: my son wasn't agile enough to take shots, so he needed to find another sport

I'd feel more sympathy if the Greco community wasn't full of pricks. The only guy worse than LJB is the Greco Review guy, who's an assistant coach and has a bunch of mental health issues. They both show up to defend Greco and rarely contribute anything else to discussions. Greco definitely attracts a certain type of person.

RAF has already shown they're not afraid to book top-level high school wrestlers like Bo Bassett and Everest Leydecker. @Husker_Du - I know Colby said he originally proposed an openweight RAF NMF Championship (Nicest Motherfucker) before you guys settled on the crossover titles. How about an openweight RAF PMF Championship (Preppiest Motherfucker) that only high school wrestlers can compete for?

CBS aired a free-TV UFC event last night, and NBC, FOX, and ABC counter-programmed it with college football (Washington vs. USC, Texas Tech vs. Colorado, Miami vs. Clemson). 2016 TV viewership for college football opening weekend Saturday primetime games: ABC - 7.944 million ESPN - 4.742 million 2026 TV viewership for college football opening weekend Saturday primetime games: ABC - 5.75 million NBC - 4.47 million ESPN - 1.57 million There's still ~12 million people watching college football on Saturday nights, it's just split between networks now. Will be interesting to see what sort of rating UFC did last night against 3 network football games.

Endene earned a Bachelor in Business Administration from Wartburg in 2025, and a Master's in Leadership from Wartburg in 2026 - he took his master's classes remotely while wrestling at Iowa He's not an idiot

I think reclassification sucks and should be outlawed, but it's not like Bo is the only athlete doing it You can hate on Bo's dad for a lot of things, but he's just taking advantage of the system Bo's dad got fired from Forest Hills for running practices during the COVID lockdown and made his kids rage-quit out of public school. And then after the recruitment violations, Bo wasn't able to compete for a state title as a freshman. It's possible more stuff comes out down the line regarding what he's doing to his kids, but as of now the guy (and his family) already served their punishment.

Bo's dad was banned for recruiting wrestlers across state lines to Bishop-McCort for non-academic reasons, which is a big no-no Had nothing to do with age cheating
