Yeah, I was able to access. Some comments from RBY:
I didn't bother going there but I imagine they couldn't contain their glee over Cael and DT losing it.
They claim to not want to talk about PSU related discussion, yet are overwhelmingly discussing PSU and Cael on a day when Gilman ran the gauntlet. Surreal really and embarrassing.
You know a former champion is in a a state of misery when they rejoice in the current champion's failures more so than their own current successes.
And yet here you guys are talking about HR instead of celebrating Zain's performance??
We're not exactly frothing at the mouth over here - qualitative and quantitative difference.
They have their good threads. But even without eye pokes from any PSUers their own posters can turn just about any thread into a "wail about Cael" thread that instantly disintegrates into a whole list of stupid silly shyt.
What do you mean, "bring this crap over here." This is my home board. I'm not posting on HR today because it is a cesspool at the moment. That's my opinion. I like HR most of the time and don't get into the banter aspect, but HR was over the top the last 12 hours. If you can't see that, not my problem. Not everyone mind you, but a vocal minority took control overnight.
So what it's still what you're talking about. There is plenty of love getting thrown at Gilman over there but DT throwing a fit and refusing to shake hands is newsworthy in a WTT thread
Yes Sir...This should Shut EVERYONE up about RBY...I am hearing he may do on line classes and skip his Sr. year too...Like Nick and Joe Lee are doing....Not sure how true but a few people have mentioned it...That would give him a GREAT jump in our room !!!!
I'm sure you are right that there are some that would be bashing Gilman, but I posted at the beginning of Gilmans run yesterday that he was now a USA wrestler and I was rooting for him regardless. I meant it. Wouldn't have ripped him either way and am happy for him and like his chances.
While I am not a fan of the bravado style, when anyone steps back from your own team and realize they are all now one team (USA), it changes perspectives (or should).
Some of course just dislike individuals (I heard the negative Dake talk on both boards). I also heard a lot of HR guys backing DT so though I haven't looked today, I don't believe most over there would be bashing him. I saw last night many on that board in agreement with those here, in how the match went and the inequalities.
All this to say, if we (me included) could ignore the outliers and those just trying to stir up the hornets nest, and not lash back (ignore), I believe a lot of it would go away and things would be more pleasant. Now, on to world peace....
Some would. I would not join in. I support whomever is on the world team. No school colors even though I wish they were all Nittany Lions.
Whatever happens with Jordan Oliver, I hope people will remember to put yourself in his place before you judge, condemn him, and publicly shred him.My opinion is my opinion. Life is short my friend to worry about it. Az, Turk, and Minne say things on HR that aren't what they would post here. Does that make them bad people? No it doesn't. You'll live. I'm almost sure of it.
They are actually whining that it's not being covered enough by FLO. Crying that PSU guys get a pass while their team is highly scrutinized when they do or say boneheaded things.
Alex Steen reported on TOM (behind paywall) the following: "Sanderson was visibly angry and placed his folding chair on the stage in protest." He also noted that "by wrestling standards their protests were relatively mild" but that it was out of character. DT kicked the challenge brick, and I'm guessing both he and Cael had words for the referee.
