Scorenomore 30 Report post Posted May 19 To each his own. After LISTENING to Oliver's interviews and how he has worked with Yanni, not sure you can hate on him. Even back to the Stieber controversy, he has been nothing but class. I'm not a tattoo fan, but I am a fan of good people and Oliver is good people! 6 Housebuye, Columbia_Lou, herma48852 and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re the guy who made fun of Marstellar because he has a degree from Lock Haven (while spelling Lock Haven incorrectly). When invited to state your own academic credentials and implied career success so we could see what true greatness looked like, you did not respond. Predictably.

gowrestle 586 Report post Posted May 19 Most research has shown that folks ultimately regret getting a tattoo. My hunch is, the more body art, the greater level of regret. I know a plastic surgeon who has made good money removing tattoos. It’s an elective procedure that medical insurance doesn’t cover. My unsolicited advise is to think long and hard before getting a tattoo. But, to each his own and I have no negative feelings toward those that have them. Don’t know JO. It’s nice to hear he is a good guy, as are most of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have some DUMBS (Deep Underground Military Bases) where the tall white's conduct genetic testing on 1 percent of the population. If you're available, let me know. We have openings at S-4, Groomlake, Dulce, NM, Los Alamos National Labs, Sandia Labs, Tonapah Test Site, or even Alice Springs, Australia (Pine Gap). Again, let me know if you want an application. Since you'll be a test subject you won't need any type of compartmentalized security clearance, you're good to go as is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly what “research” and which “folks”? earliest known tattoo dates back to 3100 BC... it isn’t just some fad... one thing we we can all agree on is overall worth of OP... which is to say less than any...

Don’t let anybody run you off for voicing them.This guy is playing an act, and the schtick is so 2003. Hey, look at me, the divisive troll who trashes athletes. Everyone’s seen that unoriginal theme before. This is just another throw-away forum account intended to annoy people. Some are original, fun and harmless ... not jerks for the sake of being anonymous jerks. Only thing less original would be if “Dr” signed up using an aol email.

drag it 128 Report post Posted May 20 14 hours ago, Dr. Novak said: Can't help but feel sorry for Jordan Oliver. His tattoos are inexplicably awful. I don't think a thread that starts a discussion about tattoos, particularly men and women who largely fill their skin with them, is per se a problem, it's a pretty startling development in recent years and certainly a lot of people have a gut reaction that at a minimum is concerned about people getting buyer's remorse about something so permanent. But the negative reaction here is due to the extremely gratuitous nature of the post. How are we to describe his tattoos as "inexplicably awful"? We can't even see exactly what they are -- they're mostly covered by his singlet. And it's art -- it reflects his sensibilities. And why would we feel sorry for Oliver? He's a guy who looks quite comfortable with who he is. He's a terrific wrestler who has had a great career and who has always been highly respected for the classy way he handled himself in his most well-known moment when he got what most people thought was a bad call that deprived him from what would have made him a three time NCAA champ after a gutsy last second takedown against an all-time great champ. And the people who know him best can't say enough about him -- the way Yianni talked about him after the Open was memorable. I'm comfortable, more than some of the people I've seen with that much ink, that he knows what he's doing and is making a mature choice in how he decorates his body.
