tec87 if Foley would have left the politics out of his articles he would not have been attacked. It was nice to read when it was free, but I don't feel it is worth paying for.

If remembering and honoring the anniversary of the tragic death of a US Senator who also happened to be an accomplished college wrestler is "political" then we are for sure DONE AS A SOCIETY!

Yazdani vs Bayat https://tamasha.com/v/BPZXB Yazdani vs Mojerloo https://video.varzesh3.com/video/204211/کشتی-حسن-یزدانی-در-نیمه-نهایی-لیگ-برتر-کشتی-آزاد

Here's how this is gonna go... Minute #1: Takedown Bo, Takedown Bo, Takedown Bo Minute #2: Takedown Bo, Takedown Bo Minute #3: Takedown Bo, Takedown Bo Minute #4: Takedown Bo Minute #5: Takedown Bo... oops, Gordon gets out and to Bo's back for a funky reversal... body triangle locked in place by Gordon... rear naked choke applied... Bo Taps... This will be the gist:

I would pay them to abolish his column. The worst kind of propagandizing. Literally the only wrestling content I would never click on.

lol I wrote it about not getting too excited before reading yours. but seriously speaking even against both Geno and Akgul if Zare survives the first period he can beat them in second period. they both have conditioning problems even when they are 100% in shape. but that's a big if, we know how good they are in executing gut wrench. but Zare also can improve his par-terre defense , I'm sure he never faced anybody as good as Geno before. but, I'm not so sure if Zare's style works well against both Hadi and Mohebbi. they are both very big and won't get tired easily. but who knows, he is improving.

Finals 3rd place: Azad University beat Tous 6-4 57, Alireza Sarlak beat Mohsen Maleki 10-0 61, Mohammad Ramezanpour lost to Arsen Harutyunyan 9-5 65, Amir Mohammad Yazdani beat Abolfazl Hajipour 3-3 70, Farhad Nouri lost to Mehdi Yeganeh-Jafari 4-2 74, Reza Afzali beat Mohammad Nokhodi 4-1 79, Alireza Ghasemi lost to Jabrayil Hasanov 12-2 86, Reza Bayat lost to Hassan Yazdani 10-0 92, Hossein Shahbazi beat Esmaeil Mahmoudi 6-5 97, Alireza Goudarzi beat Meisam Mostafa-Jokar by 3 cautions DSQ (7-0) 125, Amin Taheri beat Jafar Shams-Nateri 4-2 ------------------------------------------ Final: Iran-Mall beat Atrak 9-1 57, Reza Atri beat Reza Azizi 5-1 61, Iman Sadeghi lost to Akhmednabi Gvarzatilov 4-1 65, Meisam Nassiri beat Morteza Ghiasi 5-4 70, Younes Emami beat Sadegh Firouzpour 11-0 74, Khetag Tsabolov beat Jamal Ebadi by fall (4-2) 79, Gadzhi Nabiev beat Sajjad Golami 5-1 86, Kamran Ghasempour beat Ali Mojerloo 3-0 92, Alireza Karimi beat Masoud Madadi 3-0 97, Mohammad Hossein Mohammadian beat Mojtaba Goleij by walkover 125, Amir Hossein Zare beat Geno Petriashvili 15-11 Zare beating Geno was indeed surprising but one takedown was almost enough for Geno to tech Zare. he had 4 gut wrenches and almost the 5th one to finish the match 12-2 but Zare survived and then he beat Geno when he gassed. it was impressive for Zare but people should not get too excited about this.

Terkay's story is one of the best. He was nothing in high school. Then goes on to accomplish all that he did in college. Truly inspiring.

I’m assuming he was tired of being attacked in the comment section for his articles always turning political and they decided to put it behind the paywall.

I’m glad he only wrestled the year before I arrived. I wrestled him once, at 230AM after a good night out. He gave me 14 points, I lost 29-14.

All footsweeps!

Ag stands for silver

And it's true that for the past 20 years the wrestlers climbing to the top of the political junk heap have tended to be hyper-conservative and not altogether that compassionate, thoughtful, or jacket-wearing. Kinda got off topic?

Yeah maybe. If he tried to engage in the ground for more than a few seconds, Ryan will start his back transition stuff and tap Bo out though. It largely depends on how disciplined Bo will be

Yeah don’t put too much stock in bjj belts. put it this way - college wrestlers represent the top 2% of all wrestlers in the US. They are probably the equivalent of a black belt and that designation is never lost. Sure, they are all good, but a random D2 guy who is now in his 40s would still be a black belt, as would Bo Nickal. Obviously they are on completely different levels. Bo would pin them just like he would pin me - with zero effort. This isn’t a perfect comparison, but I think you get the point. I’ve rolled with black belts I can control, and I have gotten tapped by guys who have been training subs for a year...belt doesn’t mean all that much in terms of competitive abilities. there are levels to this. Gordon is out there tapping other world champions out. what’s interesting is Bo has a clear advantage in one area and won’t engage like a traditional bjj guy on the ground. The thing is, Gordon Ryan trains with some solid D1 AA types fairly often. He knows he won’t be able to touch Bo on the feet. He also knows wrestler tendencies and how to exploit that, seeing as his biggest weakness is his takedown game.

Gents its time for the early preseason look see at how KD has dressed up the Cyclones and I got to say hes done a reel good job upgraded that team built up the program KD aint one to take no prisoners and there aint no love lost between him and Tommy now KDs far better at mat coaching and strategy and watching film and developing talent and building a program and all that back office and front office stuff than T&T Tommys pickle sniffers and purse puppies gonna take a cheap shot at the Voice of Wrestling for his enthusiasm here but this is gonna be each and every year key matchup but it aint gonna be a reel barnburner this year heres the lineup projections and the lowdown predictions. 125 Lee and Mackey Mackeys smart enough to stay outa that Russian tie and keeps it close Lee wins a regular decision Iowa 3 -0 133 Desanto and Small now Desantos old school Hawk wild child wrestles 110 percent eye of the tiger reel hungry Mudlfaps favorite Hawk runs Small off the mat Iowa 8 - 0 141 Snapple as Murin aint ready to go and Gomez Snapple would be decent if he was in the lineup full time and got some coaching but hes in Tommys doghouse Gomez has got what it takes at 133 but moving up and pimping aint easy and Snapple knows how to keep it close so its Iowa 8 -3 149 Lugo and Degen gents Degens in his head beat Lugo twice but close aint seeing that changing there to the Cyclones home mat so its Iowa 8 - 6 157 Young against Carr Carrs got the talent and maybe not the wind hes got a nice blast double and Young aint the most athletic Carrs going to catch him twice with that move and that aint no lie but Young comes back late and scores gets a regular decision and its Iowa KD knows the dual turns on this match reel important pay reel close attention if Carrs winds better than Mudlfap expects he could hang on and win and turn the meat around its Iowa 11 -6 165 Marianelli and Straw not much to say here Marianelli aint much on frills and Straw just aint much but its a regular decision Iowa 14 - 6 174 Kimmer and Coleman now Kimmers got reel good fundamentals but he aint flashy and Colemans a project and Dressers going to need to take some risks but this one could end up in a fall Dresser knows it aint time to get radical and Coleman keeps it close regular decision Iowa 17 - 6 184 Wilkie or Brands gents you know my feeling Free Nelson Brands but Tommy throws Wilkie out there against Colbray and Colbray beats him again watch Wilkie stand there with his boots in concrete there to the end when hes behind any of you guys tell me he aint burnt stick a fork in him hes a crispy critter gents out Im gonna call you a liar now its Iowa 17 - 9 197 Warner and Shapiro take a bathroom brake here gents its Warner 4-2 Warner aint much on overexercise gents dont even like to get winded most days and it shows now its Iowa 20-9 HVW Cass against Grimmle hombres Cass stuck Grimmle in the only and single time these gents matched up and it aint no different here Cass is whipping up on Stollhouse and the rest of those gents in the room should have been out there last year instead of a crippled up Stollhouse but you gents know Mudflaps feelings on that one still so its 26 - 9 This ones not KDs year but still its gonna be a reel good meat any of you gents at the Iowa Illinois got the hands and plenty of Captain Morgan and PBR cranking out the jams at the stabbin cabin PBR flag flying high right there West of the stadium Mudflap parks with the big givers go big or go home partying harty got some accommodating lady friends reel friendly like come on come all but leave the old lady at home less you wanta share if you know what I mean and you do know what I mean.

I think he's 19. Wrestfan posted his age in this thread. Or 18 and about to turn 19.

Zare beat Geno in the final! I don't want to get too excited by this result but if you'll excuse me, I must shout from my roof how Zare is now the #1 125kg FS wrestler in the world. Jokes aside, very impressive result from Zare and Hadi has some real problems to qualify for 2020 now! @wrestfan

Yeah... this isn't just a black belt. It is the best no gi practitioner in the world... likely by a long shot.

Wilson had him! Dang. But the entire time I had Micic beating him in the finals. Just got too far behind early. All that said. Gross completely dominates the majority of top 15 wrestlers he faces. Lamont has a few wins over interesting 125 names (cant believe we are including the legend that is Moisey) This will all be settled when they wrestle but I think the Lamont fanatics are going to have to wait for a different match to trigger the "I told you so" post. This aggressively divided vibe this post has taken is silly. They're both great wrestlers. But just because the Dolphins can beat the Jets, doesnt mean they're going to hang with the Patriots (maybe Ravens depending on your taste). You understand

Maybe 133 in 2019 should have an asterisk because world class Seth Gross was taking a med redshirt?

Tab Thacker of Wildcats fame! I have a hunch Hilday will soon be on this list.

Poor Mike C.

Pretty crazy he won Yarigan and Medzed the same year and didn’t get a world medal

I just honestly don't understand how Bo won't destroy this guy. Is he not allowed to use wrestling moves?

What if flo streams crash during the biggest duels of the year.

He got majored by nato after he tore his Acl, nato just took him and let him up, I know Lamont hasn’t set the world on fire but he wrestled 50 percent of his freshman year with a blown out knee and still beat 5 AAs including lizak and Rivera won big 12s ,got the 7 seed at ncaas ,made it to the blood round and went 27-5 he is a legit guy and has better resume then anyone at 133 other then gross rby and desanto

He doesn’t need to transfer. He never redshirted in wrestling therefore can compete up to 4 years in that sport.

That is one movie that you don't dare make a sequel, kind of like Uncle Buck.

Did you see who he beat in that other style last weekend?

Forget their farming it's their carpentry that's world class. You know who else wasn't a bad carpenter Jesus coincidence I think not. Starting to revalue my way of life.

We will have the Iranian league final 4 tomorrow, (actually in few hours) we had lots of controversies, withdrawals etc. it's a long list of wrestlers, so I'm only going to mention the notable wrestlers for each team. obviously the "Iran-mall" club has the most loaded squad. Semis will be Tous vs Atrak and Iran-Mall vs Azad University Tous: 61 Harutyunyan, 65 Maghsoudi, 74 Nokhodi, 79 Hasanov, 86 H. Yazdani Atrak: 61 Gvarzatilov, 86 Akbari, 97 Goleij, 125 Petriashvili Azad Uni has no chance against the Iran-Mall, and they have no foriegn wrestlers tomorrow. so I'm not going to write their squad. here is the Iran-Mall squad, none of them are unknown. 57 Atri, Hajaghania, 61 Yakhkeshi, Sadeghi, 65, Meisam Nasiri, Mehran Nasiri, 70 Emami, Ahmad Mohammadi, 74 Tsabolov, Rashidi, 79 Gadzhiev, Hassantabar, 86 Ghasempour, Bazri, 92 Karimi, Ebrahimi, 97 Shaabani, Mohammadian, 125 Zare, Sadeghzadeh it's kind of funny, having Karimi and Ebrahimi in the same squad ! looks like they hired some of these wrestlers to make sure other teams can't get them lol I would like to see Zare vs Petriashvili but I think Geno's team won't make it to the final. but there is a good chance to see another "Yazdani vs Ghasempour" tomorrow in the final.

That Saturday dual is NC State vs. Cornell, not UNC vs. Cornell. I'm heading to Little Rock...Arizona State could blank Penn State 60-0, and it wouldn't even be the biggest story of the weekend, IMO.

Never excelled? He’s wrestled one year of college and went 27-5 was big 12 champion and had wins over AAs Sean Russell, Sebastian Rivera, Ethan Lizak and Zeke Mosley 4 times before losing to him in the blood round. Don’t sleep on Lamont he also has a win at 133 over Tariq Wilson his true freshman year..this could very realistically be an ncaa final in a few months

As a few have stated, Ryan won't have to pull guard, he just needs to get taken down. Get a takedown, give up a takedown, you end up in the same spot, on the ground. Once on the ground, Bo will have to use a lot of compensating explosive movements and raw strength to either escape or avoid sweeps and submission attempts. His real downfall will probably be the length of the match as that compensation will eventually tax his cardio while Ryan will not have to exert himself. It is a freak show match, but I'm still interested.

Every coach has run into this situation: Kid is burnt, but he's better than everyone else around his weight. You think about begging him to stick around. He sticks around, and the whole team is worse off for it.

I've been thinking of taking up BJJ. Had an interesting conversation with a BJJ guy at a Jiffy Lube. Guy was wearing a BJJ shirt, was all beat up looking, and I laughed at him and said "tough sport, huh?". We had a nice chat, when he found I was an old wrestler he really pepped up and started hammering me with questions :D I was shocked at how respectful he was of wrestlers, seemed to hold wrestlers a little bit in awe (and rightfully so :D ).

It gets confusing, but I dont think the battle for riding time is drawing in boatloads of fans either. I love folkstyle, but it is far from perfect.

I’d like to apologize for posting 30 times in a row. I got excited.

as usual tbar doesn't get the joke...

We all missed out on seeing a healthy Troy Nickerson compete all 4 years. I’d take Lee given the shoulder but if Troy’s shoulder was healthy - give me Troy.

I’m not really a big fan of the whole “rich get richer” thing (in regards to NLWC), but man, how can you not be a fan off Kyle Snyder?! The dude is willing to make such a tough decision to do what he feels is best to accomplish his goal, and he does it without saying anything negative about tOSU. Such a great ambassador for our sport!

Burroughs beat Gillespie 13-4 in the semis that bracket also had J.P. O’Conner, Adam hall , cyber Sanderson , Jason Welch , Neil erisman, Matt Moley, chase pami and Scott Winston....a lot of AAs, national champs, college coaches

Check out FuboTV. They are offering free 7 day trial. I just signed up. Make sure you have the sports package as part of it as it offers the PAC 12 Arizona network included. I pay nothing unless I don’t cancel by Wednesday next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody that loses to a US Greco team member lol

I was afraid to see the update. This is wonderful.

He was at the Farrell walking around and talking with people.

No different from Taylor, I suppose.

Why not check out the Women’s Wrestling category on this very forum to get the answer. Page 1 currently offers 25 posts with 16 posts featuring ZERO replies and 6 posts with only ONE reply. The remaining posts offer low single digit responses too. Even women are disinterested in Womens Wrestling - hahahaha, what a joke! The few replies probably came from the RusselScout types who crave the need to be liked no matter what - even at the expense of the very sport he supposedly loves. Earlier this year I extended a business trip to California to stay for a few days to watch the California State Wrestling meet. This year they foolishly tried to integrate girls into the program. Whenever it was their turn to wrestle, everyone got up to get food or use the restroom. It was like 80% of the crowd literally got up and left because of disinterest. Yet there are the few girly-boy beta male Foley types with authority in OUR sport responsible for pushing this sickening equal rights crapola. Let’s face it, as soon the networks start sharing the extremely limited air time to cover these men-wanna-bes, you can kiss men's wrestling goodbye - all thanks to the spineless mousey men who decided to go with the flow rather than stand up and say, no you’re not welcome here, not in OUR sport For me, I will never watch, support or accept women’s wrestling (same goes for MMA) – EVER.

...... isn’t you wanting someone’s IP banned over a post you don’t like literally the definition of bigotry? If you don’t like a Jimmy post then just don’t click on it. Pretty simple. If it still hurts your feelings then log off.
