You're not wrong. Just watched his Jesse Mendez vs Lucas Byrd match and the quality is great. Don't see any funny business going on?

I skimmed the Midwest wrestle YouTube page and don't quite understand what's wrong with the few videos / posts I saw. They look to be very high quality videos with good sound and followed the action well... and I don't see anything suggestive that any in person fan wouldn't see. Would like for somebody to explain further what's going on. The amount of views do seem ridiculous and the comments look to be from people who don't know wrestling... Has he since edited the posts or what? I'm not seeing anything worth the allegations just yet. On another note, if our sport requires photographers and videographers to blur out, crop, or simply use low quality film equipment due to our uniforms showing too much and therefore attracting creeps, then maybe change the damn uniforms? Or at least require similar cups as the MMA guys use so the creeps can't see what's going on?

What did Anthony do?

Looked to be open handed when I looked in slow motion.

Against another Iowa wrestler with Brands in the corner? What the f is the motive here?

Let Fickell coach the wrestling team as well. From what I recall, the dude was a 3x heavyweight state champ and 2x freestyle nationals champ.

I'd guess this was the case too. I don't know how the fight arrangements work but a top guy fighting Bo seems like an all risk, little reward type deal. I don't it'd be a huge payday plus, if he can take a punch, I'd bet he can go with just about anyone right now.

That'd be legit if he did. I thought the timing of Joe ending the podcast right then and there was a bit odd but could be a coincidence.

He mentioned going to church but I think that's about it. He might be religious but I don't get the impression he's an evangelical lunatic. I did notice he asked to join Rogan on his elk hunts and then Rogan ended the podcast like 30 seconds later lol.

You haven't commented on Bo or the actual podcast at all. You're adding nothing. Why are you even in this thread?

Aw somebody's feelings are hurt. Bit too sensitive for this polarizing topic eh?

I found that interesting. I've known at least one elite D1 wrestler 4xAA personally and know that he dabbled in high school. As much as I would love to believe that these guys are clean, how on earth would they be competing with guys juiced to the gills if they weren't taking something?

Clips from the podcast are now going absolutely viral yet I'm the jackass for saying his podcast is polarizing lol.

I'm thinking the UFC gods will arrange this fight for us at some point. Would test Bo's striking and defense against submissions, but I can't imagine Chimaev taking him down or being able to hold Bo down for long. Also interested to see if Bo can take a punch... Somehow he hasn't been hit at all yet. If he's got the striking defense of Pico... he might have a similar fate.

Pretty impressive he's improved his striking that much. Not sure I buy that he never trained it in the past considering his mom was involved in amateur boxing and trained at Jackson MMA, though. Still impressive. Hopefully we get to see him against some top tier competition - I'd love to see him go with Khamzat Chimaev.

You're the moron harping on what Joe's political views are. Maybe comment on Bo and the podcast?

I've listened to JRE regularly. I know it's a great podcast. It's polarizing if you ask anyone who doesn't listen to it, but to state that he doesn't belabor the same broken record shit is just not true. It's why the media always talks shit about his podcast. I know Joe Biden is a bumbling idiot, but Rogan has the same talking points every time it's brought up and its stale. Not to mention his "news worthy mishap" was actually corrected by Jamie because Joe just recites bullshit media articles and clickbait when discussing said topics. COVID started in 2020 and he's talked about it in every single one of his podcasts since then. Broken record.

Everyone knows JRE is a polarizing podcast because of the reasons I stated. It's still worth the listen because 70% of it is relevant to this forum (wrestling, MMA, training, Penn State, etc).

I didn't say I'm for or against what Rogan's views are. I'm saying its annoying to hear the same thing every single podcast when he could be discussing idk... interesting topics about the guest. But go on.

I think ranting about the current president's competency and the government's reaction to the pandemic can certainly be considered political, but either way, it's repetitive and stale af for a podcast.

Every podcast, no matter what they're discussing, somehow turns into Rogan discussing Joey B and how he's dying / can't speak, and a 30 minute rant about COVID lockdowns and vaccines. Every. Damn. Podcast. It's just a broken record and stale at this point, regardless of what your views are. On a fun note, Bo does touch on doping in the sport and how he thinks Mohammadian was juiced to the gills the day he rag-dolled him and Snyder. That's the kinda shit I wanna listen to!

Seems like the mainstream media is really picking up on Bo. First he's on Jocko's podcast, now Joe Rogan's. Could be a fun listen for anyone as they touch on wrestling, how important it is for MMA, and Bo's approach to fighting considering his skills. I enjoyed the podcast. As usual, Joe does his bet to insert his repetitive political / covid views he forces into every podcast, but aside from that, good stuff.

That is actually him.

Johnni never AA'd??

Why was it worth mentioning?
