Yeah, gathered that from a tweet/picture from Nickal. Too bad, but he was here to learn and I guess it's time to head back home. Hopefully Cael's been doing more recruiting on his overseas trips.

Pretty sure that RTC rules dictate that wrestlers not eligible to compete for the US National Team are only allowed to "intermittently" train with an RTC, and even that requires permission from USA Wrestling. Granted, intermittently is not defined, other than as "a loophole large enough to drive an A380 through", but presumably that means he can't be, for lack of a better term, a member. (not sure if this doesn't apply to Franklin Gomez as he is, quite clearly, a U.S. Citizen)

He was a coach
 
A true gentleman. It's accurate that he was here to learn coaching. As I understand though, having a man of his caliber and accomplishments around the wrestlers did not hurt one bit.

Sat with him at a couple events...much improved English, and as I said, great guy. He'll be a very good coach, good temperament, and knows a little about wrestling ;).

Why would someone be driving an A380? Airplane nerdiness.

Not a bad career after starting to wrestle at age 14
