I thought Ech looked good. Eirman is a funky wrestler and Ech looked to be competitive. I hope he’s ok and the injury is nothing too serious, I think he’ll be a tough out for anyone once he gets some folkstyle experience.

Amen.

Wouldn’t that have been Mike Golic, his brother?

I’m sorry about that Fletcher, I wasn’t trying to turn this into another covid/political thread. I think Idaho answered your question from our state.

Perhaps you didn’t understand my point. Fargo isn’t cancelled (yet) why wouldn’t the wrestlers be preparing for it? What if, by some miracle, it does happen? I’m not saying it should or shouldn’t happen, all I’m saying is if I was a competitor I would still want to be prepared.

NCAA wrestlers were live wrestling before their championship got cancelled, and I’m willing to bet so were the Olympic team hopefuls. Fargo hasn’t been cancelled yet, (it probably will be) but why wouldn’t the competitors prepare like the event will happen if it isn’t cancelled officially?

Fargo is usually in July I think. It seems like the cadets/Juniors should probably get a little live wrestling in before Nationals.

He didn’t score with any leg laces in the 04 finals I don’t believe, did he? His points from top were from lifts to guts. But either way, he was an incredible technician. Maybe the best ever.

Absolutely. I wasn’t sure if throwing in 3 Americans with one Russian in one bracket would be frowned upon. But I definitely love those matchups.

Thanks for posting.

I’ve actually worked in Alaska. It’s a neat state. But Nevada has the most mountain ranges in the U.S, even more than Alaska.

Colorado does have some big mountains. But if you want the most mountains, Nevada holds that title.

Buvaiser Satiev vs Jordan Burroughs. I know that’s not 4. But both men in their prime would have been an exciting match I think.

The videos don’t have to be “real” to be entertaining though.

Dylan Palacio.

John Prine is one of my favorites of all time. I saw him in concert, 22 years ago, I was in the 5th grade. I hope he can beat COVID, he already beat cancer. He can do it. But I thought I would add one of my other favorites to this thread. It’s a good one for tomorrow morning.

Dang it Russ. I like reading your banter with other posters on here. I will miss that. But good luck on the new job and whatever else life brings you.

I believe Andrew Hochstrasser didn’t start wrestling until he was a freshman in high school, he was a swimmer before got into wrestling. He ended up being runner up at NCAA’s, losing to Jordan Oliver.

I’m not sure this helps answer your question, but it’s a pretty good read about the Kemp/Gable match anyways. http://www.leekemp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Inside_wis_sports_article1.pdf

Chris Owens. I believe a sickness or injury didn’t allow him to compete his senior year. And as a 2nd and 3rd placer at NCAA’s he would have been a contender to win it all.

I’m working. I’ve been deemed “essential” as well. I work as a firefighter for the U.S Government, and although there isn’t many fires burning out West where I live, there is a ton of preparation getting equipment ready/training involved for the upcoming season.

Thanks for finally including me guys! Apparently not. But all joking aside, thanks for the entertainment fellas. I’ve been cracking up.

Thanks for passing that message on man. I appreciate it. I’m not sure anybody actually got it...

Man, am I blocked by everybody?

Anthony Robles was the biggest 125 pounder I’ve ever seen.
