PortaJohn Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 2 minutes ago, Gus said: Sure but in the first period Burroughs got hit with passivity for not holding center well. In the second Nolf did not get hit for passivity and he ran and avoided the edge for 2 minutes. Pushing on a collar tie and shoving isn't going to get you a passivity call. 1 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) NLWC at the OTTs so far 57kg finals is NLWC (Gilman) vs. Lee 65kg finals is NLWC (Lee) vs. NLWC (Zain) 74kg finals is NLWC (Nolf) vs. NLWC (Dake) 86kg finals is NLWC (Brooks)/Valencia vs. NLWC (DT) 97kg finals is NLWC (Snyder) vs. Trumble 125kg finals is Parris vs. Zillmer/Gwiz That's 7 or 8 out of 12 finalists coming from NLWC. Nutty. Edited April 20 by peanut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father time finally got him Father time and being a father of five...that's a lot of (and more meaningful) demand on your time and energy than a wrestling practice, no matter who you are.

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 7 minutes ago, wrestle87 said: If JB had taken a single shot...they would have given it to him. Refs won't pull the trigger on helping when collar tie hand grab push is your offense. Burroughs didn't take any shots in that second period either (that I can remember...I was a bit on the edge of my seat watching that match.) Edit: I forgot they also gave JB some breaks on those two challenges. Not saying those were the wrong calls, but they have to be called consistently, and based on what they did for JB in the first period, I think they did the right thing by nolf in the 2nd. This is one of the worst takes I've seen today. You even edited it to make sure it was the worst possible take. But I get it, you're a fan. So am I. So bring on the bad takes, build up the fervor, be a fan. Cheers! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnwtwg Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 79 is going to be a high key fire WTT bracket. Expected participants should be Nolf (loses to Dake tomorrow), Burroughs, Zahid if he loses to Brooks (goes 92 if he wins), Ringer, Starocci, Joseph, KOT, Carr, Pissenbrink. That is straight up fireworks before quarters begin. 1 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like people don't understand the fundamental differences between free and folk, and that free is ref'd incorrectly very often domestically. 1 1 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SocraTease Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Nolf won and was the better wrestler today. Active; strategic; took all of the shots, and could have easily gotten the two on the spin around on the edge, which they denied on the review. Borroughs did a whole lot of nothing. He's a legendary wrestler but his time is up. Maybe he will try 79KG for the non-Olympic weights in the fall, but I kind of doubt it. JB elevated American wrestling but at his back time's winged chariot has been hurrying near. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore is smoked. For real. He used to be the gatekeeper (kinda), but he got taken apart. Now, granted he may have been entirely laser focused on Cox then snyder, but that's a heck of a whooping for just a mental lapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
