That being said, he is zero threat to win the trials. Putting aside the awesomeness of the competition, whose league he is not familiar with, I can't imagine his conditioning or match sharpness will allow him to be at his theoretical best. He won’t make weight if he shows up at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PD3 was reminding everyone of this fact on social media a couple days ago. Apparently he was concerned that it had been forgotten thanks to hipster liberals who believe in Cancel Culture with help from flowrestling. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5tNVslsNFe/?igsh=MTlyZ2xoeW15d3RnOQ%3D%3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Imagine PD3 actually shows up and wrestles?!?! That would be a surprise. Now — wait for it — imagine PD3 actually beats Carter!!! Oh my … the amount of sh&t talking would be monumental. Not sure this would be recoverable. Every time Carter would attempt to talk trash, this loss would be thrown in his face. It won’t happen … but damn if it does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It not like when he registered at 79kg for the WTT. That was less believable than Starocci getting down to 74kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbane Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 26 minutes ago, Hammerlock3 said: when did he do that? I would guess this was in reference to the Pan Am qualifier wrestle off with Nick Lee when he did not wrestle match 2 and took injury time in match 1, though I did not see Gilman's comments on the situation. Below is Flo's reporting of the wrestle off. "Diakomihalis slammed his head hard on the mat attempting to finish a double leg in the first period. Throughout the match, Diakomihalis looked visibly shaken up and even looked off balance making his way back to the center of the mat throughout the second period. Because of that head injury, Diakomihalis was forced to medically forfeit out of the second match of the best of 3 series. " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not actually an asshole. Downey? It comes naturally. That’s not an act. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could deal with him saying it about a knee injury or something, but concussion stuff is really scary once your already concussed...UNLESS you are wrestling Bo NIckal who is a neurotic mess when he wrestles someone who is hurt because he can't bear the idea of them getting hurt further.

AgaveMaria Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 On 4/15/2024 at 9:06 PM, wrestle87 said: I would not be surprised to see 'ringer, Hall, and Marstellar call it a career at trials. Hall hasn't really been that into it since his senior year of college, 'ringer is a 'tweener in the most brutal sense, same with marstellar. They are both very good, but neither of them has the frame or the style to be consistently making teams and succeeding. Downey will probably be done after this, but he lives in his own world, and I don't think he would view a "shoes on the mat" exit as a reasonable thing to do. He will team up with Ferrari & they will run on the mat and grab any shoes left by the retiring wrestlers? 1 ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

peanut Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) My take on the video: It's almost like glasses can make a person go from to If Starocci might return at 197, it seems like Barr is locked in at 184 Starocci suggested that Haines might move up in weight next year. What does that mean for MM? Could Haines go to 174? I did not get the impression that Starocci's thinking about MMA right now. The Penn State landscaping crew is on point. Lovely.

Pinnacle Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I changed my mind. That flower is a little too large and not deep enough in color for an Eastern Redbud. Upon closer inspection I think it is a common pink dogwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
