Please let all of the Ferrari's go to Iowa.
Should you be thinking? Or not so loud? LolHear me out for a second here. AJ has been rumored for a future in WWE even before he was in legal trouble. WWE recently merged with UFC into a combat sport entertainment conglomerate. Could this be staged as part of an elaborate heel turn to introduce AJ into either UFC or WWE? I doubt he has a career there without a resolution to at least the sexual assault case, but he may see the writing on the wall for his college career (or Iowa May have even told him he can’t be admitted there), and/or Endeavor Group may be close to striking a deal on the charges on his behalf.
No punches were thrown, no one was injured, no one was arrested, and no one is in any trouble over this (and conveniently all caught in film…). What there was was yelling, confrontation, flexing, and most importantly, a lot of publicity. If college wrestling is out, he could be immediately injected into a storyline with Masvidal and Holland to launch his combat entertainment career.
I have no inside information. Just thinking out loud.
Need pics of wifeI hope AJ goes to Iowa, meets with the big boosters and their significant others at some Inner Circle shindig, and makes Bob Nicolls a cuckold. Slumlord Millionaire would probably enjoy it - that twisted tenant-hating ****
the family already moved they all got jobs from mr lee!Need pics of wife
Are you ai? Comradethe family already moved they all got jobs from mr lee!
Haven't both Gilman and Ayala's mom both stated that Spencer basically doesn't wrestle guys in the room?
The NLWC guys just don’t have time to help the undergrads - unlike Lord SpencerHaven't both Gilman and Ayala's mom both stated that Spencer basically doesn't wrestle guys in the room?
Just a weird comment from him...
MVP says only alumni can help, and only in their first 5 years after completing eligibility.The NLWC guys just don’t have time to help the undergrads - unlike Lord Spencer
sTaR pOwEr!!!!!!
They also have the Slumlord Millionaire wrestling room now, too. Don't underestimate that.The NLWC guys just don’t have time to help the undergrads - unlike Lord Spencer

@ChiTownLion I hope you've made some progress.

FIFYIn Spencer's interview, he stated that the middle Ferrari wasn't recruited by Iowa. Ferrari just kinda commited.
Iowa is recruiting the youngest one though.
That or a really bad beating when he messes with the wrong guyOccam’s Razor says AJ is just an idiot who never had to feel the full consequences of his ridiculous actions.
Prison would be a fitting change of pace for him.
What does it say I'm blocked lol
Lee can't be dumb enough to believe that. If they're recruiting one, they're recruiting the whole family directly or indirectly.In Spencer's interview, he stated that the middle Ferrari wasn't recruited by Iowa. Ferrari just kinda committed.

That’s a different issue. He'll have to resolve his sexual assault case somehow. If he’s guilty of that, then yeah, a little hard time might be in his future.Occam’s Razor says AJ is just an idiot who never had to feel the full consequences of his ridiculous actions.

Simply amazing how clueless they are about the state of the sport outside of Iowa City.“I think this is the first thread I've ever started.
Check out the roster now. We have a lot of goers and training partners for the undergrads, and the star power of Lee
Lee, ADS, Eierman, Lugo, Sorenson, Young, Bull, JWar, Burak. I'm missing a guy or two, I think
I know the Nitwits have the star power, but just how much time do they spend with the undergrads there. Most are pretty busy with other endeavors”
Um .... according to Drake's mom, Spencer doesn't even roll around with him when he is actually still a rostered member of the Iowa team, why would he do it after he's done?“I think this is the first thread I've ever started.

Spencer is probably the worst example to use because he's pretty open about how atypical his training regimen is. He barely gets to wrestle at all and probably sticks to a small group of trusted partners when he does. For example, there was a stretch of time where every time there was a pic or video of him training, he was with Sorensen.Um .... according to Drake's mom, Spencer doesn't even roll around with him when he is actually still a rostered member of the Iowa team, why would he do it after he's done?
But to answer his question I've literally seen videos of Kyle Dake rolling a round with Tyler Kasak, a high school senior.
There is nothing to wrong with that either. Just saying Mr. Nicoll's statement is laughably false then because Lee is the big "come train with this guy" and the reality is he won't be training with any Iowa college lightweights. It's hard to imagine you can get a very good workout in with Spencer if you have to be very careful with him since he rightfully has to be bubble wrapped. Then after him, who is the big star power? All great wrestlers and a good room but it's laughable to compare to PSU so the only thing he can say is our guys don't practice with the college team.Spencer is probably the worst example to use because he's pretty open about how atypical his training regimen is.

He's talked about how hard it is for him to get in shape a lot this year because he has to do it on a bike. He can't run and his wrestling is limited.
I know a lot of the alumni/HWC members wrestle with the college guys a lot.

Is there any dancing involved 😉A Festivus pole and airing of grievances?
Hey...if he thinks everything is great at the HWC and there's no need to change anything, who are we to argue?There is nothing to wrong with that either.

I'm pretty sure NLWC guys scrap with PSU wrestlers all the time. Everything I hear, there isn't assigned partners in the room and there's no belief it has to be one guy or the other. In fact, Cael notoriously separates guys sometimes he thinks will get too violent with each other (Zain/Nolf were basically forbidden to) Gilman obviously was rolling around with RBY a ton. Levi got tons of work in with Zain as a high school season (and you might have seen some moves translate) and I just mentioned there has been numerous practice videos of Dake scrapping with Kasak.
are you?I am a PSU fan that like to rip on iowa!!Are you ai? Comrade
fifyHey...if he thinks everything is great at the HWC and there's no need to change anything, who are we to argue?
I applaud and fully support the leadership of Iowa Wrestling. May their next 10 years bejustalmost as successful as their previous 10 years!
Bob, I know you want to believe what you're saying. I want to believe what you're saying. We all want to believe it. But, let's pretend that their "star power" doesn't spend much time in the room. That makes their results that much more impressive. That means that they're somehow lapping the field with this lack of star power in the room. So, is it coaching?
Again, i don't have the answers, but I'm also not going to pretend that their room is at the same level as ours.
Everyone can believe what they want.
I see our guys as more effective training partners than theirs. You're free to have an opinion
I agree that there’s no comparison to NLWC but they gotta start somewhere. Desanto, Lugo, Marinelli, Young, and Warner are very good veteran training partners. Eierman should be back as well for a year once he finishes rehab before he leaves to fight. Cass will step in after next year too and be a great partner for Kueter/whoever their next heavyweight is.There is nothing to wrong with that either.

I think it is quite understandable that the man whose name will be on the new facility's wrestling room would only have positive things to say about the men who occupy it.Has Bob Nicolls always been this delusional?

His comparison of the current HWC athletes to those at the NLWC, questioning the NLWC's relative availability, is 100% in line with this thinking.
While I don't believe he is correct in his assessment, I appreciate him believing. Belief does not require facts or evidence. It is an act of faith. Making what others might see as a way over-the-top assertion could have been fully intended.
Maintaining a most hopeful future is better than the alternatives that come to my mind.
That happens in prison.That or a really bad beating when he messes with the wrong guy
All strategy implies some deception.His "act of faith" is just reinforcing the problems that they have. It's not addressing let alone fixing their myriad problems.
Probably from exposure to lead paint in the outdated, mid-century apartment complexes he’s gobbling upI haven't been on the board that long, and have spent even less time snooping around HR/GIA.
Has Bob Nicolls always been this delusional? Or, is this a late-life development?
