Crash

Yet you just did, again. Safe travels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty much. They are all rich, retired executives from Delta Airlines. They asked me to tell you hello.

1 is a hunter who was getting up very early Saturday. 1 is 70ish who doesn’t stay up passed 11. The other is a regular PPV purchaser of MMA, etc.. Had something going on with one of his kids early Sat AM. The 11PM+ end time was an issue for them. It was a big enough issue that it was the difference in a purchasing decision. At least the streaming was decent for a change. Still think the P is too low in the P*Q equation. They are leaving money on the table. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand that time zones create challenges, but I personally know of three (3) people who planned to buy the PPV, but didn't when they learned it was not starting until 9EST. They (correctly) assumed that JO/Zain would be last and that the event organizers would drag out the event. The event wasn't dragged out as long as I feared, but still could have been quicker. I don't remember the exact time, but it wasn't until around 11PM until the main event was wrestled. Too late for some people.....

@JasonBryant Do you know for sure if the Yargin really will be at the end of January again as it usually is? There was chatter that it was moving to another month, but it is still listed in late January on the UWW site.

1. He has never been accused or caught taking an illegal drug. A trace amount of a legal (but disallowed without a waiver) drug was found in his system that he was disciplined for. It was also stated at the time his discipline was handed down that had he completed the proper paperwork, he would have been allowed to compete with this legal drug in his system. Thus, the light discipline. 2. Project much.... Bottom line, JO 3 Zain 0.

At least the streaming was decent. We all know if FLO had the event, it would have been a complete CRASH.

You even stutter when you type? BTW, JO is now 3-0 against your boy...

I didn’t realize you were this much of a dope. Hope you enjoyed the match Friday night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Both have intimated in interviews and/or on social media that they may compete in the Yargin. Doesn’t mean they both actually will or even hit each other if they do, but that is likely the next chance. What would be interesting there is that I assume that tourney would be 2 Day weigh in with no allowance. That could help Zain a bit, but on the flip side, JO got hurt in his last international bout so I suspect he was not able to train that much for the AWL. For the Yargin, his wind should be much better—-but the weight and tourney format will be tougher. Regardless, until Zain gets an actual win over JO (currently 3-0 JO), this isn’t a rivalry. I’d like to see Zain and Stieber go at it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JO 3 Z 0 This is not a rivalry

This is wrestling. You can’t expect audio and video. Just be thankful Flo doesn’t have it, else we would have neither Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For 65KG, the allowance was 3KG. I think most weights were also 3, but not sure for all of them. Zain weighed in at 68.0. JO weighed in at 68.3. Both were wearing singlets. I figure a singlet weighs about 0.4lbs so JO was about 0.25lbs over. I’m sure he could have cut a quarter lb in less than 30 minutes if they made him, but they didn’t. They said with the singlet, his weight was “right on the nose”. I don’t see the 0.3 kg being a factor in this bout, but the day before weigh-in definitely will favor certain wrestlers.

JO/Zain is a premier match-up. Imar/Ringer is decent....Other bouts not that attractive. For this to work, need more top name participants and will need people to cross weights.... Dake/Taylor/JB Cox/Taylor Cox/Snyder Stieber/Zain Pico/Oliver/Green Masters series---Metcalf vs Kolat

It’s no secret that Easton is a tough town and that JO grew up in a rough area. Not shocking he didn’t get out of the gritty streets much. Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton are not all the same place. He accomplished a lot by getting to where he is...Easton HS is not Blair or Sem. Great interview. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
