Losing close doesn't get you in the top 10 let alone the top 5.

Ah yes because men's freestyle events (that aren't Final X or OTT) always pack the house.

Didn’t head the head coach of USA’s Greco program make the team through legal battles one year?

Why was he not disciplined for attempting to assault an opponent? How many times do you think Downey would have to make weight if he did that?

Teemer can't seem to wrestle a 6 minute freestyle match against a high quality opponent without gassing. Do we think that his tank can hold up in a 7 minute folkstyle match?

I loosely follow MMA and follow wrestling. Chael is a part of both and I have a loud mouth friend who loves to listen to Joe Rogan and Chael (both of whom are generally terrible) so I may be a little more aware than most but his cheating and fraud were well publicized. The word of wrestling relies on access journalism and he gives wrestling media access so they love him. Oh well.

Why do people still respect and listen to Chael? Hasn't he been busted for doping multiple times? We love to throw shots about doping at other countries but glorify cheaters here. Edit: completely forgot to mention the money laundering and mortgage fraud convictions.

According to Penn State's SID the reason Taylor did not miss match in college was because of his commitment level. He clearly must have been more committed to wrestling for PSU than the USA. Sad, really.

I mean Downey did accuse him of blood doping.

Unfortunate to hear that David Taylor is not as committed to representing the United States of America as Kyle Snyder or Jordan Burroughs.

Just read up on Henry Frick. He sounds like he was a real piece of ****.

Nolf has registered at 74kg for WTT. Discuss.

GMU is under fire for letting the Koch brothers not only impact hiring and admission decisions but also the actual curriculum included in the classrooms. Will be interesting to see what impact that has on the university and athletic programs. Probably not just isolated to GMU but interesting nonetheless. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/us/koch-donors-george-mason.html

Still working out with the guy whose star pupil was busted for blood doping?

The word captain is spelled wrong on every single roster.
