Considering the source, that's pretty great. Still haven't watched, but I plan to tonight.
Why "Social Media" is great....

It's very, very well done. RBY fan or not, it's a great watch.
I'm a sucker for human interest pieces and really wish wrestling media(and sports in general) put more content like this out there.
Just finished watching. I got chills when his high school coach described his Grandpa’s unbridled emotion after he beat Fix for his first title. I’m with you, I could watch these types of stories all day. As fans we don’t know these athletes at all. We see the opposing team as somewhat of the enemy. Once you see the work and, in RBY’s case, the huge obstacles he has overcome, you can’t do anything other than respect what’s he done. However, I still hope he goes 0-2 at Nationals. 😃😃
Part of me thinks this is staged. I cant fathom why someone would even consider calling out Carter.

Kids that age- the brains aren’t fully developed.
Sounds like Gabe is excited to let it fly when he gets a chance to go against C*, which is exciting. And some trash talking is always great in my opinion.
But alas, that young man clearly hasn’t yet been indoctrinated in the clutch, grab, push and work for stall call style that his team has mastered.
A huge, huge shoutout to RBY's grandparents, his HS coach, and the former HS wrestling coach turned football coach who all took him in and cared for him when needed. He owes a lot to them for where he is today and definitely shows a lot of gratitude for that help in the video.
I'm glad he made it to PSU, stuck through his homesickness, and came out the other side with a degree, national championships (team and individual), and a lot of great opportunities for the future.
I lost my voice at the Iowa match last Friday and probably most of that was screaming after RBY's incredible pin. What a way to go out at the BJC.

There are some good comments by Levi that give insight into the coaching staff. Probably nothing we don't already know, but I like hearing it from the wrestler's mouth. A little over a 10-minute listen.

when i got around to finally watching a replay, low & behold, when rby hooks the cradle, i'm right there, white sweater and all poised to jump through the bjc roof. i too, left with little voice

They talked some about RBY and his brother going to and winning tournaments together as youngsters. What became of his brother?
I propose we invoke Twitter rules on this board.
No post can contain more than a set amount of characters.
There’s too much content that I don’t read because my brain can’t handle more than 75 (ish) words in one post.

I said 75 “words” should be the limit in my post. Apparently that’s way too many for you, though?2 lines and you blew through 75 characters.
He went to Iowa and wouldn't quit using wrestling moves so the Brands boys recruited over him.
I think he needs a white claw to relax and increase his reading comprehension.I said 75 “words” should be the limit in my post. Apparently that’s way too many for you, though?
14 words, 78 character including spaces (I think…)
They also mentioned his sister, at the graduation party there was one pose with a guy and girl that looked like they could be older brother and younger sister.
Twitter counts characters. Words cannot effectively limit characters. Your count was correct. Just having fun.
Me too! And reminding @mcpat about whiteclaws!Twitter counts characters. Words cannot effectively limit characters. Your count was correct. Just having fun.
Yep. I'm glad social media didn't exist when I was that age. I'm bad enough now.
Save this in one’s personal collection for the right time.
I was waiting for Ferrari to come strolling through and bump into him. No such luck.

Ladies first: Iowa's Mir lands UFC's first NIL deal
Bella Mir, daughter of former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir and a freshman wrestler at the University of Iowa, has landed the first name, image and likeness (NIL) deal awarded by the mixed martial arts promotion.
Incredible thread on HR re: asking Iowa fans if, knowing what they know now, would they swap Desanto for RBY. The standard answer was “Hell No! RBY is a boring staller!”
But there was this gem:

I'd take the wrestler with multiple titles who never tapped out of a nearside cradle
You should have fixed this quote to be:
I'd take the wrestler with multiple titles who never tapped out of a nearside cradle TWICE in one match.
Good idea. Maybe he could point out to them that ADS would have likely won a couple of titles had he wrestled here instead of there.
BTW. that thread is comedy gold. The absolute best: the number of posters who would rather have DeSanto because RBY is dirty.
It is finished...
Nah..not really. Only 17 percent are able to read my posts. The other 83 have blocked me. I love that I don't get the pushback in years past and have conceded their site to me to roam free... lol
