2021 Olympic Wrestling Match Thread and USA Wrestlers.
- Thread starter Hotshoe
- Start date
I'm about to mow the **** outta my lawn later. Fired up.
Let the debate begin, though I recommend a separate thread. Will Gable return to Minny and the college season?
I'm going in to work and slapping my boss right in the mouf...
Stage set for the topping on the cake: Snyder vs. Sadulaev tomorrow
I feel like JB could have a career in broadcasting (all sports, not just wrestling) if he wanted to.
he is already better than Michael Strahan

Everything is fair game. No rules or negative consequences.

what a joke
what a joke
Space Cowboy, Jet Airliner, Maurice, The Joker, Lucky Man, Gangster Of Love..... Take your pick
Lol. I'm just pumped and running my trap. Not going to actually do it.
To be honest, I think SHE could take me...
He needs to be more emotive, comes across as knowledgeable but a bit dull. Doesn't need to become Dicky V, but needs to show a bit more.
Tough loss for Winchester.
L look
We joke about world domination. It’s no joke! I’d love to hear what the coaches in ROC and Iran are saying about what Cael and his team have built in State College.
Just saw the end of the Stevenson match. Absolutely incredible.
A side of me feels for the Georgian guy. I can't imagine losing a gold medal like that.

This was much worse, IMO. 2 takedowns in the final 10 seconds, the second coming with literally tenths of a second.
DT with a great short interview on Today 3rd hour just aired.
I'm as fired-up as the next guy, but the fact that Greco continues to struggle when men's/women's FS flourishes bothers me.
As of now, I see things going the Euro-centric club model to enhance it. You've got awesome clubs training guys to win world medals at the age group and senior levels. This may be the way. I'm not against it.
But if a few RTC's would step the **** up and inject life into Greco like they did FS before it popped-off, we could win that shit more often, too. We all know our US model is folk-centric and reliant upon colleges. I don't love that, but it's a great contact point. It's no different than me loving HS wrestling, but knowing damn well there are some incompetent coaches at the HS level. It (college level) is an important contact point for donors and fans.
I want college coaches to get behind Greco like they have men's/women's free. I understand it doesn't translate as much, but it's asinine that CUBA can ****ing win multiple medals (and they're rad and they deserve it) but we can't muster up a single one. Wrestling is still ****ing wrestling.
After Greco won in '07, they had the NMU/CO Springs debacle, lost their coach, and the RTC model was born. USA took the steps they saw necessary to raise the level of FS in our country. It's time to do the same for Greco.
So many are clamoring "BUT LOOK AT OUR WOMEN!" and you're exactly right. They're killing it and deserve every instance of congratulations. Keep that same energy and support all 3 styles, or miss me. Your glad-handing and fake woke-ness are easy to spot. You probably still take piss breaks during things not MFS. Be a WRESTLING fan. GRECO ROMAN is WRESTLING.
I'm off my soapbox, now. Lawn should be drying out soon, and there's crops to water.

Uh oh, is this a “procedural rules of wrestling” situation? I hope Geno doesn’t know Mike Grey…
One thing he mentioned was he didn't want to wait too long before going for that last takedown, and he started going for it with about a minute left, and had two attempts stuffed before the restart with 23 seconds left where he was successful on his third try.
He was being interviewed at same time as two women who won gold in canoeing and the pole vault
No yeah, you absolutely shouldn't be able to do what he did at the end there, letting him up lol. Ain't nobody gonna complain, but that wouldn't even fly at a local open.
Not much better than seeing two Americans bring home gold with good old fashioned gas tank.

Hildebrandt just lost on a chance to complete for Gold in similar fashion. Heartbreaking.
Bekzod added to the NLWC medal haul. Gold and two bronze now.

Folkstyle two! F your thumb and index finger!
Another question: but for Anthony Cassar, does Gable have more reason to come back?
I’m starting to think Cael 4d chessed Gable before Gable even got to college. In 2019 he looked at 2020 HW and realized Gable could match him, so he sat Cassar for Rasheed so Bo could rightfully claim 197 in 2020, which would have been a tough call had Cassar won in 197. I guess you think these things through when you are the inventor of wrestling.
