"if multiple time world champ and most recent world silver medalist attempts go-to move then he doesn't deserve the spot"
lol ok. He didn't hit it last time. What's to say he doesn't again? If your kid doesn't finish a shot do you tell them to quit shooting?
Imagine how Dake is going to feel if Burroughs has to wrestle the whole tournament, goes three matches, and wins it all. Does he finally admit that JB was better all those years?
That was mighty close but Chamizo has played with fire for the entirety of his career and with Father Time banging on his door it caught up to him last weekend. He needs to come out with zest at last chance or he's going to be watching on Peacock with the rest of us
Not belittling, just pointing out that Elor entered in pretty much every single other tournament. For what it's worth I think anyone who makes a senior team (top 3) should lose all eligibility below. If you can hang with the big dogs it's time to quit playing with the age group. If you win a world senior title you have absolutely no business in age group stuff as that's stealing developmental opportunities.
Just a reminder that Pat Downey Jr. aka BlueDragons owes $100 to a Champaign, IL women's and children's shelter for losing a bet. I matched his outstanding gift in good faith and maybe that scumbag family can come through because better late than never to do the right thing.
If he does show up (he won't) then I hope he gets a rematch with Aaron Brooks round one and the tech fall limit is raised to 100 points.
For three reasons, in order:
1) NBC pays more than Russia for Olympic broadcasting rights.
2) Russia consistently gears up for war during the Olympics and attacks the day after completion. That's bad press for the Olympics. When America does it, we pick random Tuesdays in non-Olympic years.
3) Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent massive shockwaves across the global economy. When America sends the world into a recession it's because we let strippers get million dollar subprime mortgages and give everyone in the country a credit card at birth. Big difference between white collar and blue collar crimes if you know what I'm saying.
Brooks barely beat Zahid. It was not a blow out unless you are talking about Zahid's lungs at the end of the match.
I will gladly take wagers that Taylor wins his series 2-0 over anyone in the 86 bracket
I'm just waiting for Jordan Oliver to come out of retirement for one more huge cut down to 65 so it can be like old times with Yianni, Zain, JO, McKenna, and the Cornell lawyers
He's got all day to recover. Retherford and Arujau have the best scenario possible for hard cuts since 57 and 65 didn't medal therefore no challenge tourney final. They won't wrestle until the evening so all day to recover, just the single semi match, and then the best of three finals the next day against the other semi winner.
If anyone is mad at JB they should remember what Starocci wrote before his finals match. Not exactly the nicest words so why is it wrong when Burroughs says he's going to attack him. After all, "this game is a cut throat business."
I forgot what a good sport Nickal is, like spanking an opponent during a match.
And who can forget all those definitely not condescending helping hands after a match. Nickal is an all time champ and he's also an ass. They tend to go hand in hand as a requirement of the job.
Ok so now that Taylor has finally hit puberty and Dake is de-aging I think that means they are finally the same age. Who wins in this all-time fantasy match?
