When will these people learn that interviews right after a match are freaking annoying.
With the exception of a BoNi interview...he does pretty well in the moment.

Pretty happy the mid match commercials don't involve rocket mortgage
One good thing of the #willietrials is with the loss of subscribers, the flo feed seems to be ok
I'll answer your kids question = no! He was in control and was wrestling a pretty good opponent from what I heard. Would have loved to see Taylor get another take down when he was up 4-0 and seal the deal. Taylor has a lot of respect for Burroughs as he should.Let's not forget they're trying to sell subscriptions. Do you want to pay to watch a 30 second tech?
Definitely put it in cruise control but hard to argue it wasn’t the smart/tactical move. How many times have we seen Zain lose matches late because he shot himself into a bad spot?
this might not help you right now, but i remember during the willie trial they explained a loophole where you could subscribe to one of their other "verticals" (flohockey,flotrack,flomarching band) for only 1 month but you would get access to all of the flosports sites.
Is there a way for someone to have a subscription to flo, btn+, rofkin, etc....that could then be shared in zoom or other screen sharing service?
Just asking for a friend(s)
don't tell anyone but I shared my screen with my son - google meets meeting... could do it with Teams as well (or zoom)
did the winner get a bigger share of the prize money? If so then it’s a good strategy...
If not, given that is just an exhibition, why not let it fly the whole match?
Tennessee kid wearing a Minnesota Storm singlet seems out of place. Unless he's already made up his mind, or he pulled a Mark Hall and forgot to pack one.
I also wish Taylor had let it fly, for audience entertainment purposes. But many a competitor would value winning more, exhibition or not.
Quentin Wright let it fly one exhibition match, and people still treated the loss like a loss.
Taylor had let it fly numerous times against Dake, and it did not win. So maybe he has learned something about when letting it fly does not feel like a winning strategy.
i agree unless there was a win bonus then there isn't really any reason not to try and score more points.....unless this was always going to be the decision just so they could go to the well once more and get even more money for the rematch? Lol
Because he’s spent the last 8 or so years thinking about beating Burroughs and winning was all that mattered to him IMO. It was an exhibition in name but anyone paying attention knows how badly both wanted to win.
I am assuming this is some troll attempt instead of an actual info request, but I will treat it that way. David Taylor beat Jordan Burroughs.
Plus DT lost a year of wrestling due to an injury sustained in a silly (his word) exhibition match at Beat the Streets not long ago. Understandable that he would take a cautious approach against someone of JB’s caliber and do just enough to lockdown the win. As he said back then:
“The nature of competing as a professional athlete is a delicate one. One year, you find yourself winning the tilte of the 86 kg World Champion and being voted best pound for pound wrestler on earth. In the blink of an eye, you lose yourself in thought over the noisy lull of the MRI machine, hoping that the pain in your knee isn’t what you fear most.”
