I am a wrestling media guy (a silly little page called The Pin Doctors) and am probably the least social “wrestling media guy” out of any of them and am becoming more that way as time goes by. I don’t ever know the “gossip” stuff from any room, let alone that one… I don’t discuss any other wrestler with my brother other than just him. I don’t even bother to ask him when I discuss wrestling with him because 1.) It puts him in a terrible position (something I learned the hard way during a 2022 situation that’s been beaten to death already) and 2.) I genuinely don’t care. To anyone who has ever followed my page or my stuff dating back to The Predicament, I doubt you’d find many who would say my “M-O” is the wrestling news/gossip stuff. I’m just not into it and it never even occurs to me to ever ask my brother what “so and so” is weighing, who won in Madden between “so and so” and “so and so,” etc. I just really don’t care. I can go to a meet expecting to see world-beaters and would still able to enjoy my time if a bunch of 4th stringers competed. And I’m not stupid. I get it. I understand why people would think it’s me and I can probably list 3-4 reasons as to what would make ppl think that, starting with which groups I share my own Facebook PinDox posts in sometimes…not to mention my big, stupid mouth in a strenuous situation of the 2021-22 season. It looks bad…. I get that. I wasn’t THAT social with other wrestling media to begin with and have taken yet another few steps back from all that since this past fall when I noticed some people assuming certain info was leaked by me. It’s not… and it certainly won’t ever be in the future because now not only do I genuinely not care about the gossip, but I go out of my way to not ever know any of it so it’s damn clear to my own family that it’s not me… which is really the only people I care about in terms of what their opinions are on me and my wrestling mouth. Funny thing is, 75% of the gossip “leaks” that I’ve read ppl blaming me for is stuff that I STILL don’t know to this day because I care THAT little about wrestling gossip stuff to where I don’t even have the motivation to look up what supposedly came from me. People pm me asking me to break news about multiple programs on a daily basis and I rarely even respond to these messages. Because that’s not my bag because I don’t care about it at all. Things are just gonna unwind as they do and I’m fine with that. Sidenote: After some of the mentioned drama from 2021-22, I quit drinking to ensure I never publicly got pissed and went off the handle running my mouth again like I did after the Iowa-Minnesota meet last year. I was hammered that night. And was mortified afterwards. I’ve only been hammered one time since that I can recall and I can’t even frigging believe that, for I used to binge-drink most weekends and every day in my 20’s. Never thought I’d see the day where I didn’t have to worry about the rambunctiousness of “Drunk Swaff.” That was a terrible situation for us, but at least THAT came from it… I needed to stop all that as it was. The measure of accountability you are showing here is impressive and duly noted. I have seen what you are doing with Pin Doctors. It is great stuff, man. I appreciate what you are doing there. I will stop playing keyboard warrior with you and give you your proper respects. 2 "I know actually nothing.

As for Travis, I can see why teams would think twice about adding him after the way he came out looking from the Ferrari debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Caliendo is no guarantee to start over Kennedy if they stay at the same weight. I know Caliendo AA'd and Kennedy didn't, but the roads were VERY different. Man. I know this is good for the program, and the way the current landscape and game has to be played, but there's something a little less fun about this for me. I'm sure I'll be over it by March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcement Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Personally I'd roll this out there: 125: Teske 133: Ayala 141: Woods 149: Voinovich or Siebrecht (wrestleoff) 157: Franek/ Ferrari RS 165: Caliendo 174: Kennedy 184: Brands 197: Franklin 285: Oppi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. PeanutButter Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Is moving a 5th place finisher at 174 up a weight class really the best option? Seems like Brands is finally starting to hit his groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNRodent Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I think Caliendo and Kennedy both wrestled 74 kg. (162.8) their latest freestyle tournament and neither are tall. Would give up a lot of leverage at 174. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
