Dake interview on FRL

[Chickenman Testa]

Very good 40 minutes or so with Dake to start FRL today. He discussed:

Competing through LA
Ono
The PSU and NlWC room
The Hodge vote (he chose CS)
His father
Upcoming documentary
Thoughts on coaching

It sounds like he plans on staying in the area long term (hope so), but appears to have backed off on college coaching given all the headaches (his old dream was to coach Cornell). It would be great to have him coach in some capacity after LA at the NLWC/USAW or, mayhaps, become a partner in M2 or Zain’s planned club.

Biggest nugget was when he said he would be 27 for LA Olympics because he is reverse aging.

 

[Ian]

I reversed aged when I hit 50… I’m 33 now. It works!

 

[Delcolion915]

I love Kyle; Great guy who somehow never got any of the Cornell on him while being there for four years.

What’s his take on Ono?

I spoke with a guy in the know about Cornell wrestling a while back and he said a conversation with Dake indicated he really wasn't that into it.

What’s his take on Ono?

Loves him. Thinks he’s a freak that won’t have much trouble at all with gaining essential folkstyle skills

Coaching or the Cornell program?

Coaching.

Embarrassingly, I dangled my participle or something like that.

Dang, that is em bare assing 😉

 

[El-Jefe]

I love Kyle; Great guy who somehow never got any of the Cornell on him while being there for four years.

His mockery of Frank Molinaro after their finals match suggests otherwise.

Fortunately he grew up.

Coaching or the Cornell program?

In Philly he was very clearly more into the PSU guys than Cornell when they were wrestling at same time. For what that’s worth
