    nope; watching online. can't argue w/ the in-person perspective just giving my perspective from the couch

    it already happened; gwiz won 5-1, though for some reason I thought it was a tech

    Really excited for Zane Richards vs Spencer Lee I like Richards a lot, but I just don't feel like he has a shot internationally. Crossing my fingers for lee's knees

    peacock's choice of what to show on their main / overview channel has been really frustrating. most viewers aren't going to be on trackwrestling to follow upcoming mat assignments and be switching channels back & forth to follow the marquee MFS matches. at least this session there hasn't been random audio & video issues.

    not that I know of. in this specific case, BB held mckenna for I think like 15 seconds. was very close to being a fall and a lot of refs prolly would've called it there, but no additional points were given aside from the initial exposure. not for the TD or the extended back points

    OH SHIT; Cox leaving his shoes. not the best showing today, but damn a helluva career. RESPECT

    cox thinking about leaving his shoes??

    j'den cox just slipped out of his own throw attempt. 2-2 now w/ moore up on criteria. def looks like cox is fading, but we'll see...
  9. oldschool
    they have 6 guys wiping down the mat for j'den's match

    wow; they just skipped Nolf and Cox. wtf peacock?! this is amateur hour. I'm fine w/ showing WFS matches, but at least let us know that the MFS is going on and how to watch it. the viewership numbers speak for themselves

    oh shit; I didn't even realize peacock wasn't showing this match on their main channel. so weird. I guess they decided a cox match would be too boring to put on primetime

    JB was kind of asking for it. nothing wrong on his part; I would've been dragging my feet on every whistle if I was 15 years older than my opponent as well, but that's not the type of move that'll get the crowd on your side. I feel like folks are trying to make this a "penn state disrespects JB" thing whereas I see it more as a "crowd boos guy who's obviously taking his sweet time" game. would've happened if it wasn't penn state and would've happened if it wasn't JB.

    JB vs MM was entertaining at the very least. JB got a lil ticked that MM kept going when they were heading off the mat which is kind of like MM's whole thing. anyhow, interesting to see the crowd rightfully giving JB a hard time for getting testy and taking his sweet ass time on every whistle blow. that being said, MM never really had any good opportunities and was clearly outclassed by JB

    So am I correct in understand that all championship matches are done until 6:30pm ET tonight?
  15. oldschool
    yeah; I think we all understand the scoring. the point is that this is a perfect example of where the current freestyle scoring system doesn't accurately reflect the dominance of the match
  16. oldschool
    BB mckenna match is a perfect example of where folkstyle gets something right. The dominance points of holding a guy on his back for nearfall and the fact that mckenna was very nearly pinned make that match result leave a sour taste in my mouth.

    This is such a great video by flo: https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12450735-are-the-2024-olympic-team-trials-jordan-burroughs-last Every time I click on a flo "video" and it ends up just being Christian Pyles talking, I immediately cringe and click out. Show me wrestling. Show me relevant context, not some dude talking at me. Anyhow, great video from Spey and so excited for this bracket!
  18. oldschool
    same question
  19. oldschool
    Really hope we get to see O'Toole vs Mesenbrink in the finals
  20. oldschool
    Man I saw Mesenbrink gulping like a fish at the end of the first period and def thought he was in trouble.

    Full US results: https://www.themat.com/news/2024/march/09/burroughs-wins-gold-aiello-takes-silver-at-yasar-dogu-international-in-turkey Great to see Burroughs on top. Yasar Dogu is always one of the toughest tournaments, but I have to assume it's a lot weaker this year given the lack of olympic reps?

    Sigh. At least the ads load properly in incognito mode

    On the plus side, I thought Yianni's singlet looked solid
  25. oldschool
    Doesn't look like he competed, according to https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11957042-2024-yarygin-wrestling-tournament-brackets-results
