  1. Let's get used to the 3-point takedown before we make any more global changes to folk style.
  2. I stopped watching them when Ben joined. Just not enough wrestling talk. Mostly inside stuff as another commenter said earlier. It used to be a good show when it was under an hour and no Ben Askren.
  3. Jordan Burrows, NJ
  4. Honestly, the match flowed so much better without review. Calls rarely change anyway.
  5. This is anecdotal at best, but I have noticed since Cael began talking about his wrestlers having fun, which guys like Taylor and NIckal emphasized, I have heard college football players and even some Iowa wrestlers saying it now. Thirty years ago, no one talked about having fun. Grit was the language of sports back then. I wonder if everyone who says they are having fun now are really having fun? Thoughts?
  6. Just watched "American Wrestler: The Wizard. Very enjoyable movie. It shows how small wrestling was in CA back in the late sixties into the seventies. Acting was very good. The wrestling scenes were pretty well done. I recommend it. I watched it on iTunes movies for $2.99.
  7. He has really matured. He handled that match just as a mature athlete should.
  8. Joseph - Martinez, first NCAA championship for Joseph
  9. Totally agree.
  10. There needs to be some consistency in how the perimeters are set up. I don't like the fact that a person with long legs can move his foot off the mat. That needs to be fixed. Have secondary mats at least three feet around the official mat.
  11. Not trolling. I watched some of the top wrestlers and the matches were too predictable. Nobody new really making an impact.
  12. I thought the tournament was largely boring. Agree? Most of the wrestlers not not top tier.
  13. I agree with you. Pyles is very good for the sport and I also do not understand the anti-sentiment.
  14. I disagree. That's for the color guy. Yesterday it was David Taylor. Pyles is the play-by-play!
  15. What exactly does that mean? He calls the matches like a play-by-play announcer
  16. I am listening to Pyles, mat-side at CKLV, and realizing he is better than all of the announcers on BIG!
  17. It just seems so hard for an athlete that young being able to sustain that level of intensity through college and senior level.
  18. I think at the senior level, folk won't work. These guys are so defensively good that getting control would be that much more difficult. I don't think anyone would score. But what is interesting is if you watch Taylor and Retherford, they have incorporated folk positions in free, especially the arm bar and half that Taylor uses to pin.
  19. Saw this article this morning. https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/wrestling/2023/07/25/olympic-champ-gable-steveson-not-joining-iowa-wrestling-will-remain-with-wwe-nxt/70456655007/
  20. When I watched the US Open and Final X, I noticed how the US officials rarely called activity clock violations. It became obvious after watching the ranking tournament matches.
  21. I stopped listening to the show a while ago. I cannot listen to the banter and tangents. If the shows were distilled down to the facts presented, it would be around ten minutes long.
  22. They had thirty seconds. One of the coaches could have asked someone at the table.
  23. Not a great word to include in a post.
  24. They didn't show on the list in my search.
