WRESTLING FOR LIFE board fundraiser — Iowa Week 2023 Edition

[slushhead]

Copied from the introductory post last year:

We can be assured there will be ugliness on the boards over the next several days as the big PSU vs Iowa dual comes and goes. But we can also do some good with our fanaticism and prognostications . . .

Wresting for Life could use our dollars, and it is a great cause. If you like putting your money where your mouth is and would like to do so on predicted outcomes in the PSU vs Iowa dual, let’s try doing so here with proceeds going to Wrestling for Life.

We can be rivals and work together at the same time.


I think we raised close to $800 between the 2 boards in 2022. Let’s try it again this week and aim to break $1k.

@ your favorite (or least favorite) rivals and shake hands on a bet regarding this week’s big dual, with proceeds donated directly to WFL by the losing participant (or by both participants, as happens on occasion) via the weblink provided above (from the main menu, click Donate, then Your Gift, and continue from there). Post receipts in this thread next week!

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

You in, Nash?

 

[jmadden1998]

$10 bet. Murin vs SVN straight up. I have Murin. @STAND with PRIDE has SVN

@nitlion6 and @CSauertiegPSU will be donating $10 to WFL when Starocci fails to bonus Brands.

Coincidentally, my man @js8793 will do the same when he does.

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

js, are we on for 10?

 

[Aleric1]

@slushhead Reminded me of a previous bet on Kerk/Cass on HR so we re-upped for this meeting.

Now, looking for any taker (first one only) on $50 to WFL on winner of Facundo/Kennedy.

Anyone heard from Jim Brown? He used to be very active recruiting donations to Wrestle For Life and I would get an Xmas card from him but nothing in the last year. Hope all is well with him.

He said on HR that he has suffered from 2 strokes but is working his was back. Posts some there. https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/members/gg121and2.9176/

Shoot, I was starting to wonder why he seemed quiet this week. Hopefully he’s making good progress.

 

[slushhead]

Our output here is looking rather paltry, folks, notwithstanding the herculean bet between bordeaux & madden on GIA . . .

@Aleric1 — I’ll take you up on Facundo-Kennedy if no one else does.

@sstark46 — Any chance you’re up for a wager on one of the other toss-up bouts?

@jrod65 ? Call someone out, my man.

Woke up feeling the Black n Gold blood coursing through my veins. Who's ready to take advantage of my homeric overconfidence?

I got $50 to WFL, straight up, on the Hawks leaving Happy Valley with the win. The action goes to the 1st reply accepting the bet.

Accepted. Care to raise the stakes to $100?

Deal!

I can't get called out specifically and not take the challenge

Looks like Kerk/Cass and Facundo/Kennedy already have action, so I'll put up $50 on ONE of the following, to first taker (first person to take, chooses which one they want):

Real Woods over Beau Bartlett
Max Murin over SVN

I got Barlett over Woods. For 50

 

[sstark46]

Deal!

 

[slushhead]

Thanks guys, that’s awesome. 💪💪

 

[Aleric1]

@Aleric1 — I’ll take you up on Facundo-Kennedy if no one else does.

Sounds good!

Kennedy over Facundo for $50. (Defaults to slush unless someone else wants in on the action!)

 

[pawrestlersintn]

How about $100 to WFL, just because it's a great day to be a wrestling fan, and as a tribute to Jim Brown.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Kennedy over Facundo for $50. (Defaults to slush unless someone else wants in on the action!)

I’ll take that if no takers so far!

I’m in if you are!

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

js, are we on for 10?

Or 20?

 

[pawrestlersintn]

I’m in if you are!

I'm in. That's why I said it.

 

[slushhead]

Ok, we’ve got about 3 hrs left on the clock. So far, I’m seeing:

• standwithpride vs. jmadden for $10
• csauertieg & nitlion6 vs. js8793 for $10
• apspsuwrestlingfan vs. jrod65 for $100
• nitlion6 vs. sstark46 for $50
• 86psupaul vs. aleric1 for $50
• pawrestlersintn vs. aleric1 for $100

If I have all that right, that puts us at $320-330 for WFL.

@Aleric1 @APSPSUwrestlingfan @CSauertiegPSU @jmadden1998 @jrod65 @js8793 @nitlion6 @pawrestlersintn @sstark46 @STAND with PRIDE @86PSUPaul
Let me know if I got any of that wrong.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Well, that sucked a**. What an incredibly uninspired showing all around.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

At least I’m annoyed for a good cause.
