Wrestleknownothing 1,675 Report post Posted February 29, 2020 I may know nothing about wrestling, but I do know how to cite a source. You attribute a direct quote you read on your show to "somebody"? You can, and should, do better. No one bothered to look in the rule book to challenge what one of your own guys thought was a specious claim. Know that it took me all of 5 minutes to find that rule. 1 1 1 jon, HurricaneWrestling2 and stp reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestleknownothing 1,675 Report post Posted March 1, 2020 I'm just busting chops here. I am a happy Flo subscriber. I think they do a great job and have enjoyed their growing content. And for me the price is right. The way I look at it, it would cost me a multiple of what I am spending to go see live everything I see on Flo. To my way of thinking they are doing a lot to grow the sport. 2 Marcus Cisero and Yellow_Medal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1032004 1,516 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Well today they called themat "that terrible forum." Not sure why all the hate when they're checking it for rules clarifications and from what I've seen seems like twitter/facebook comments are often worse. oh well.

Yea, on Friday's episode Nomad called message board participants "idiots" or some derogatory variation thereof. The same people that are paying for FLO memberships, listening to FRL, etc. These FLO guys don't seem to care or understand who is "buttering their bread". 1 jon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boompa 208 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 They don't like this forum because they have zero control of it. They can control the conversations on Twitter and Facebook. But in my experience, the people who post on here are "generally" more knowledgeable than anywhere else. 2 jon and Yellow_Medal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goheels1812 676 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 I find it really interesting the stance Flo chooses to take about this board. They choose to say it’s a terrible forum full of idiots. Personally I think it would be smarter to engage more with this community because it could drive a lot of discussion and the non troll boards can give them insights into what fans are thinking and talking about. But alas, we are just a bunch of idiots that should be shamed because we have no clue what we are talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spey comes in here all the time and engages intelligently. I've learned to ignore everything Nomad says above a certain pitch. When that voice gets real high is when the too hot takes come out.

Perry 1,429 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 This is their method of "engaging" the community. By insulting it they have driven many of us to chat about them, good or bad. Whether it's a good idea or not I cannot say. I will say that I feel the quality that Flo is putting out has stagnated and when it comes to FRL has regressed slightly since Willy left (though I do enjoy the times that Askren is on). 1 jon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schuteandscore 170 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 Shouldn’t matter about the apostrophe anyway, just call it the Big Ten tournament, it’s not Big Tens, like with “states,” you don’t win a states championship. 1 jon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
