Looking forward to SVN and the Bouz

Dake is Dake. Pretty much the best in the world. I hope Joseph can tire him out just a little. That said if Jason shows any magic at all I will be jumping off my couch.

Pretty jazzed for Bo, Snyder, Zain and Yanni

For all the rest I am just going to sit back and enjoy.

Curious if Robbie will be giving Bouzakis some pointers from his meeting last year with Nardone.

Keep DT away from the college guys if his caution is due to Covid.

Looks like it is about to begin.

Byers on the call with Sally Roberts. Byers isn't exactly an expert on freestyle.
 
They announced US guys to Metteo Pellicone freestyle tournament in early March, but I don't recall seeing anyone from NLWC, which is sort of surprising.

Garrett and Yianni pulled out. Perhaps the latter because of the former (if his opponent withdrew). Not sure.
 
From DT - "I was looking forward to wrestling both Chris Foca and Max Dean tonight. I am sorry the matches won’t happen, I am looking forward to mixing it up with them in the future! However- we have some awesome matches tonight, make sure you guys tune in! "
 
Also, this is a petty thing, but I'm reallllllllly struggling with some of these match-ups or events where we have awesome graphics, lights, cameras, etc., and then the two competitors are wearing similar singlets. It drives me insane.
High seed (or better credential) gets you choice. Opponent must wear a singlet at least 70% a contrasting color.
Home gets choice. Opponent must wear a singlet at least 70% a contrasting color.

It's such a simple fix. It's obnoxious to have all this awesomeness of sport and production, and then the two competitors are wearing 90% black. Make it simple for the outsiders. Make it obvious.

Best thing FS ever did was move to the standardized markings and sponsor placements on the singlets.

It seems they have given weights for the junior matches, but I don't recall ever seeing weights for senior matches (either tonight or in past iterations of this event). Curious about what weight Dake and Nolf will be contested, along with other matches.
 
2,235 people watching already. But no one is having parking problems or for that matter buying popcorn or waiting in a bathroom line.
 
Love that we can see how many people are watching always been very curious what actual viewership is on these types of events.

Edit: And can see the "tips" amount too!

Anyone know how this # compares to other NLWC or similar events?
 
I see Gwiz and Matt McCutcheon are both watching (based on remarks they've made in the comments section of Rokfin). Also RBY.
 
Looks like Bouzakis is still uncommitted. Flo has him ranked #5 in Pound for Pound.
