Pat Downey is still Pat Downey!

[Housebuye 1,706]

Shocker. He still has the emotional intelligence of a child.  Can’t wait for Taylor to embarrass him again. 

Edit: I feel like I was a bit harsh. If Downey makes the team, I’m 100% team Downey. This isn’t a big deal. I am just tired of the fake stuff surroundings Downey. He is who he is. Sometimes he loses his cool and while I don’t like it (which he definitely doesn’t care about), he is who he is

I thought Heflin was just as chippy

I thought so too.

He wasn't the one who refused to shake his opponent's hand

I imagine Berlin would have shook hands if not for now downey behaved as time expired pushing heflin into the mat and screaming in his ear. Downey is a turd and I am also excited to watch Taylor tech him twice in a row

Actually it was Heflin that refused to shake hands.   You'll see on replay.

I didn't see anything particularly dickish in this match.   Just guys doing a lot of clubbing and rough crap. Not good, but nothing nuts.  They were both fighters.

Yeah that's what I meant, Downey wasn't the one who refused to shake his opponent's hand

Downey continued to wrestle for another 5 seconds after the match was over and then was jawing at Heflin.  He's supposed to shake his hand while the guy is still talking crap?

I thought Downey was getting up with time on the clock and Heflin wanted to keep going?

[Full Nelson 37]

If you want to assign blame in that match you'd have to go frame by frame.    This is harder to figure out than two kids fighting in back seat of a car.   There was nothing thugish, it was a fight that got out of hand.    I see Heflin is on twitter apologizing for any part he played in the nonsense.   Good for him.    

Some people are overreacting.

[jsmalls131313 18]

The guy is just a genuinely bad guy. I tried giving him a chance 3x now and used to defend him all the time. I won't anymore. Some people are just scumbags, despite their skill. At least we don't have to worry about him every being David Taylor level. 

[VakAttack 1,903]

It looked like Downey was getting up as if the match was over but there was time on the clock and Heflin kind of stood up into him, and then Downey put him back down pretty roughly. All with time still on the clock. If anyone was in the wrong here, I'd say it was Heflin.

Meh.  No blood no foul.

This sets a nice backdrop for Beauty and the Beast next month.  In the Beast's home lair!!

[Housebuye 1,706]

Lol at people blaming Heflin 

 

[moveurfeet32 6]

Heflin acted like a baby...You just lost 2 matches in a row and didn't score a point in match 2...You should shake hands!

[tbert 543]

Heflin got caught up in the same drama that consumes alot of posters on here.

[whyme25 54]

I guess I don't understand, who is he supposed to Be if not himself?

 

[Billyhoyle 1,621]

This was such a minor incident. Clearly people are just looking for any reason to hate on him. 

[de4856 332]

Well, the antics at the end of the match and afterwards may have caused some to roll their eyes at PD3, which is understandable, but I would say PD3, looks like he has really upped his game, I don't ever remember seeing him have this much success in the past few years. I think DT presents a big challenge for PD3, and you never know, but I would say that DT's attacks and scrambles will be what carries the day for him. But love him or hate him, you have to give PD3 credit for what he was able to accomplish here this Spring.

thats what can be scary.

taylor is already hurt

 

tho in this instance, im not sure what started it. downey seemed to be getting up, looked at ref, then pounced back down on heflin... then chaos

Didn't Taylor tech PD3 10-0 the last (only?) 2 times they wrestled?

You'd better watch it again.  Downey is doing his extra-curricular stuff on top a good 3-4 seconds after time expired.

[SamStall365247 41]

Wow, why don’t you take this outside!?!?

[MrDream 49]

Two dudes that could settle this real quick in a back alley somewhere.....but they choose to run their heads and nothing was done.....the definition of tough......
