Hammerlock3

this is whats infuriating, refs will just stop it every time they see it without reference to the conddition required to make it illegal.

had a kid in folk HS state finals hit it and the ref called it illegal. said "it always was" which sounds like ref made up cover tracks BS to me. Its the same lock as a front headlock.

Has anyone pointed out hat Gabe Arnold misses weight frequently? Starocci is too talented/discplined to get beat by the scale....

fair enough.

obviously, but i was saying his grinder style wouldn't translate well to a situation where almost everyone is big, strong, and in shape. skill and athleticism matter, thats what you are arguing against.

when did i say he sucked? Don't lie to win arguments on the forum its bad for the soul.

In highschool there should be points without having to wear the guy down for 4 mintues. Sorry to break it to you.

He's a pure grinder already, that doesn't translate well to college.

pyles is a complete idiot. He has spent a decade getting worse at his job.

Doing some film watching, can someone recommend a match where his style is on full display, just watch him tech dieringer, but thats just a lot of snapping, would like the balance of shots, snaps, underhooks, pressure...

he was embarassed and faking stupid

If you coach this is good interview with Mark Ironside. Articulates some interesting ideas on mentality, mat strategy etc...

?

this is the greatest summation of AJ ferrari in the fewest words possible. (minus significant accusations that we shouldn't or deny)

whose gonna beat him? You have to make a prediction to make a prediction.

idiotic

They have a new documentary coming, Funky 2.0, about keegan o'toole, the trailer is about youth wrestlers get ruined and features askren and messenbrink talking about doing the right thing with young athletes....here is what annoys me about this. 1) Reducing O'toole to a clone of askren is the height of superficial idiocy and shows no one at flow has any nuance when it comes to their perspective of wrestling. 2) Are they not concerned with the appearance of nepotism? 3) Are they so lazy they can't leave house to find a story? 4) Taking the stance that you shouldn't ruin kids and making it the premise of a documentary is the ultimate straw man and boring and lazy and ignores the 5000 times they put out films about people who were dedicated from age 3. 5) Timing isn't great. But I can't really list that as a critique because I don't like reducing the world to narratives.....but FLO is! The production value is high, the content is vapid. Get a creative person at Flo for the love of god.

that was crazy

what about the big warner ferrari match up!

otoole is stilll gonna win

bad timing for that post....

johnson due to his style and body language has very underrated toughness and shape

btw for the record I think o'toole is gonna beat carr by 4

....no one wants an intermission in a weeknight dual......

Right now for PSU its 4 champs or bust, 5 would be a good year, everyone is expecting 6 eventually...
