wrestlingphish 449 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 The “draft” is tomorrow night and the event is at the end of the month in Cedar Rapids (20 minutes north of Iowa City). Looks like we will get to see JO vs Zain based on Twitter. Not sure what other match ups there are but I heard Nico vs Clark was expected to be on the card. Not sure I expect this to be a “league” but if the matchups are good I will make the trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2td3nf 381 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 Is this freestyle or folkstyle, or hybrid rules? Kamal Bey and Robby Smith are potential draft picks. (Wonder if Kamal ever trains with Dake in Greco? Bet Dake could help polish Kamal.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ching 145 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 Freestyle. Not sure why the Greco guys are on the list, just makes it confusing. I hope Dennis wrestles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingphish 449 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 I believe there is going to be at least one Greco match and the rest will be freestyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmm53 273 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 Ok, I see the Twitter stuff. It sounds like Zane is in the mix and will be drafted by DT. Dake will take Oliver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingphish 449 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 For some reason I am watching this draft while football is on the TV. Shout out to Wayne Boyd who somehow made a bunch of money while seeming bat**** crazy. These matchups seem pre setup but whatever it’s fine to have on in the background. With Iowa’s loss today in football I will be there in Cedar Rapids on Friday because the matchups will be good even if it never turns into a “league”.

de4856 273 Report post Posted November 4, 2018 Well I hope this works, I know that it was like thirteen or fourteen years or so that they had a wrestling league ( Real Pro Wrestling ), and I watched it on television, but I think it fizzled out pretty quick. There is an article on InterMat authored by Mark Palmer that gives a good in depth description of that venture. If I had any computer skills I would be able to post the link to that article, but alas, my efforts failed. I guess if you're that curious you'll have to look it up yourself, or perhaps someone can find it and copy and paste the link on this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are they the same person, or is this just a coincidence of same names? I can't find much to connect the names together, and I'm starting to feel the need to take a shower after getting through a few articles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scramble 9 Report post Posted November 11, 2018 There are some great matchups. How about I-Mar and Derringer. That is gonna be a great one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de4856 273 Report post Posted November 11, 2018 Well, with the 2019 WTT's in mind, I very much want to see Zain train vs J.O. Additionally, I am very curious about Branden Sorenson, I hope to see him do well and I believe he may become a factor at this year's upcoming WTT's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBluegill133 180 Report post Posted November 12, 2018 I liked seeing a few d-2 guys get some recognition. Every time there is a good d3 or d2 wrestles we get a few who bring up how the d2/3 champs should be allowed in the d1 championships. This could be the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the other divisions talents. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingphish 449 Report post Posted November 12, 2018 D2/D3 guys usually don't sell tickets/streams which is what these events need to sustain themselves (as well as sponsorships). While it would be cool - I don't see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crash 26 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 Hoping the AWL guys read this forum.... Suggestion for you....consider your audience. We don't want a ton of pomp and circumstance. Don't turn it into a WWE type production. Get right to the wrestling and get some good interviews with the wrestlers -- not all softballs. Good luck, hope this endeavor goes well.
