biggest takeaway from the interview was dang this guy does not like david taylor

there is 100p beef between david and bo…brooks talked about it in an interview in last years final x, said the PSU coaches “did Bo dirty” at the 2021 trials vs taylor. notice bo coaching against taylor in AB’s corner today

that was definitely 4

oh got it, i understand your deal now. 10/10 trolling, you had me going there - i respect your hustle, keep fighting the good fight

“Messenbrink genuinely is having fun when he wrestles” yeah, having fun by wrestling people light years after the whistle and risking injury, shoving people onto the ground after the whistle, erratically trying to shake hands with people during the middle of matches (you say it’s “good sportsmanship”, others would call it extremely annoying and performative), verbally talking to his opponents during matches, smacking people in the face with his “snaps”, smacking people in the butt randomly during matches (not appropriate…). just because the kid gives nice interviews and wrestles hard doesn’t mean you should put blinders on to what he’s actually doing out there, “desanto-like” is a pretty good comparison. he’s young and a nice guy, hopefully he’ll learn this stuff is not cool all that said the jb back of the head shove was also over the top and not cool. but understand his frustration

hear that brother…nothing to be ashamed of from JB, he will go down as one of if not the GOAT maybe he tries to go 79 just this year, win a world title, then call it quits after getting gold once more

everyone excited for mike malinconico to commentate this round?

I also couldn’t understand why this wasn’t a takedown…behind both arms with a leg hooked, is that not a takedown anymore? Agree that the rule should be adjusted if it’s not…attacking wrestler is in complete control in this position, defensive guy is just holding on for dear life there, poor incentive to reward the stalemate.

Was Plott’s single leg finish on Truax legal (first period shot where Truax got hurt)? I genuinely don’t know. Have seen guys do this finish a lot but it also looks like Plott turns out the foot before driving which seems worse for the knee.

Over under throw going out of bounds and Shapiro got bounced on his head. Hope he’s alright…

Think Vito was dealing with a herniated neck disc all season. Seems like he’s back in form or close to it

Tore his ankle at conferences. Bummer

true and agree…see plenty of dirtier tactics than that every year at worlds

gomez with a hall of fame strategic lung timeout - that was crafty
