  1. Yeah id still suggest watching it. Gotta pump the numbers up if we want more wrestling movies. Also you may enjoy it. Im picky as hell.
  2. I've never had a pop tart in my life. Gum and the people who chew it are disgusting. Spitting it on the ground, putting it under tables, holding conversation as the chew it. Animals. Stepping in someones gum or feeling it under a table send me into an almost irrational rage. Always has.
  3. Im sure the margins are nice but the electrolytes i buy contain potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium. No sugar no flavoring. Its nothing like kool aid at all.
  4. Wasnt enough of it, a lot of unneccesary grunting and grimmacing type stuff, they did a good job of representing Anthonys style where he locks on your wrist with his iron grip in neutral, his takedowns and his tilts.
  5. Yes I went and saw it in Tempe this past weekend. It was enjoyable but not a great movie. Too much J lo, too much adhd cam during matches. They needlessly changed a bunch of thing i beleive they had no business changing. But I live here and wrestled a year behind Anthony so unless you are an ASU fan you probably will only notice 1 or 2 of the changes. In my opinion they took a unique and interesting story and tried to turn it into every other sports movie ever.
  6. I have flavorless electrolytes that i put in my water and with enough lemon juice it does taste like old gatorade. Never used sugar. Thought about adding honey but never had. Just electrolytes, water and as much lemon as you want for taste does the trick for me.
  7. No. Basically banking on a good end to the season carried hard by Figgy Baby, Shultz and Larkin when he gets in the line up. Without a good finish things may look scary for the program now that Martori is retired.
  8. He did its just not the reason he became a champion. Its the same as any other advantage that has its disadvantages situation.
  9. I wrestled him a lot in high school and was in his class. Did he have a strength advantage? Absolutley. Did he present unique problems? Absolutely. Are either of those things why he was an NCAA D1 champion? Absolutely not. He had the determination and attitude of a champion and he paved his way like every other champion.
  10. Excited to watch it. I think there are lots of cool moments in wrestling that would make great films and i hope this one inspires more. (Personally i want a movie about shane griffith and how he saved the stanford wrestling progamand several other sports in 2021) Also an ASU fan this will be extra sweet.
  11. The man who founded and basically funded all of it retired. (Art Martori) He also bailed out ASU wrestling when it was on the chopping block. The very little inside information I have told me he had been telling them this was coming for years and he felt no one was in a position to take over and run the program to his standard, rather than hand over the reigns to someone in the program he felt wouldnt do it justice he chose to kill it entirely upon his retirement.
  12. I cant answer most of that but in his farewell interview Martori basically said he just wants to focus on his family with whatever time he has left. He sounded like a man who felt he fufilled his purpose (and thensome in my opinion). I think if anything it was more seeing NIL and the money coming into wrestling that made him feel like he had done enough.
  13. Are you saying you find that corny?
  14. Also the name is corny. Why do we always pick the worst names for stuff? Rudis is another corny name.
  15. Hopefully as the RTC gets its footing they will add womens wrestling.
  16. I was going to say as an Arizona wrestling fan i was very nervous but this last post is heartening. Glad to see Perry gone, I have a daughter.
  17. I certainly cant argue with that. Im veiwing things through an American lense because im American and I like our style best. I can argue why but that wasnt really your point. I am most concerned with American viewership and sport growth. I think folkstyle is more intutitive to the average American sports fan. I dont think freestylr goes about prioritizing exposure in the best way but thats a different argument. Take a shot (of water if you like) every time i say American in this post.
  18. Thats fair. It doesnt make it any more satisfying to watch though. And freestlye fans constantly talk about how the sport needs to be exciting. Leg laces are one of the most common complaints of uneducated viewerrs/new fans when they first see freestyle. Almost no one sees somebody secure a leg lace, roll through 3 times and thinks it looks awesome or exciting. Its not exactly intuitve to a combat sports fan why its such a high scoring technique either. It doesnt appear to accomplish anything from a control perspective, which is what is generally thought of in wrestling. I know freestyle is about quick exposures but to the uninitiated or to people who value control a leg lace is just not a satisfying way to get points for a turn.
  19. Does knowing how to do a leg lace suddenly make the technique awesome to watch? Or do you think plenty of people on this board know how to and have done 100s if not thousands of leg laces and still think its lame as hell?
  20. Probably not since its neither clever nor catchy
  21. I dont even understand why jacori and Iowa think theyre a good match. Jacori has a bad gas tank and backs up an insane amount. Hes not iowa style at all. I appreciated his points at ASU but his style is soooo frustrating to watch.
  22. What did he get? how do you know? Obviously im an ASU fan, i private messaged parco (not about a number but about why he would leave) and he ignored me. So im just curious
  23. Oof and we just "lost" Art Martori (he aint dead) this is not happy news. ASU wrestling may be on life support for a second time.
  24. Richie aint leaving called Parco out as a traitor before he even left
  25. Ive been wanting the pit walls for wrestling since i first saw karate combat. ***duck** the step out. Bring on the pit.
