1032004 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I was today years old when I learned that's not his real name! They were talking about his state finals match on FRL and how Ben thought the ref robbed him and were saying it's on Youtube, but I couldn't find it until learning that his real last name is Nebl. I did find a 15 year old video of him announcing a Wisconsin regional tournament where Alex Dieringer was a freshman 103-pounder though. Love Shane though, but I don't really agree with his hatred of the 3 point takedown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxhawk174 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Shane was awesome for Wisconsin HS wrestling. He had a website that was free to watch for everyone, Badgerstatewrestling.com. He and a crew of volunteer cameramen would travel to the biggest HS duals and tournaments around the state and upload everything to his website. Whichever location he was at, he would do commentary as well. A lot of times he would be doing solo commentary, but never lacked in enthusiasm or passion. It was a sad day when the site shut down. I think there's still a handful of Badgerstatewrestling videos archived on Youtube. Naturally it fell to the wayside, as the exposure got him recognition from the B1G network and eventually he moved over full time. Great and well deserved for him, and a lot of work put in to get there that the WI wrestling community saw. https://www.youtube.com/@badgerstatewrestling/videos 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PencilNeck Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I heard he was considering changing his name to Rick Resilite next year when the B1G network expands into more west coast TV markets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Does that mean Pyles goes with Flo Chro Po ... Probably should put a Jr. or a III on the end to be more gangsta. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
