Taylor will be PSU’s only member on the team. tOSU and Cornell will have more guys again. Zain will give PSU a second wrestler this year. Maybe they will have the most.

PSUSMC 312 Report post Posted March 22, 2019 58 minutes ago, Transcend_Colorado said: I am not offended. I am simply stating he is going over the top with the helping people out deal. If you don't think so, that's your opinion. Ironically he started helping people up every match this year. I wonder why...... Actually, not every match. He didn't even attempt to help up his 1st opponent (Laird - Rider) after pinning him in the 1st period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet he'll end up with as many NCAA titles as Fantastic Mr. Fox (along with at least 3 more team championships). You know, this being the college board and all...

airmail 72 Report post Posted March 22, 2019 Roll to your stomach instantly after being pinned by Bo. Then he'll politely take off your ankle bands for you & everso gently place them on the line Nolf style, giving you all the time you need to think about what just happened. 1 3 jcjcjc, Bigboi Trained, PSUSMC and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not defending Bo's gesture but it is somewhat common in international wrestling. It just seems patronizing and self serving. The guy who just lost really can't say no because then he looks like a sore loser. The whole thing is about Bo. Instead just celebrate on your own, without getting the loser involved. Like I said, there is a good chance he never thought about it like that, but I have felt that way about wrestlers who routinely do this for a long time and well before Bo Nickal was doing it. 1 simple reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might be true. I don't know and I really don't care what Bo does after his match. My point is that I see guys like Sadulaev and Yazdani and many others do that sort of thing after they crush someone. And wasn't Bo Taylor's training partner "as Yazdani"?

It's very rare that you'll find a wrestler that does a few seconds after the mat getting slapped. They're typically caring about having just been embarrassed - by the person that is now looking to show them up even more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
