uncle bernard 627 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 1 hour ago, TLS62pa said: They've got the women's group all fired up now. Expecting some fall out from this upcoming event and the women's perspective. Saw a lead female wrestler just complain about lack of women in the Fargo highlight that they just posted. I think Flo is going to get bombarded from the women going forward. The easy solution would be to cover them more thoroughly. 1 Husker_Du reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may be able to survive financially because of all of the other sports that they cover, but they are losing traction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whaletail 204 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 7 hours ago, uncle bernard said: Darkhorses for the whistle blower: Martin and Joe Williamson. Both foundational members of the original brand. Both disappeared a couple years ago. Without a specific allegation at it's core, the post feels more like a disgruntled former employee's diatribe than a whistleblower coming forward. It doesn't strike me at all as Willie's voice, nor that of any of Flo's current wrestling content creators, and I wouldn't be surprised if a knowledgeable competitor posted it. Regardless, I don't find it noteworthy at all. Absent direct supporting evidence, I don't believe Flo wastes money suing parents for filming matches, and most of the other allegations are likely part of doing business as a streaming video sports vertical. Finally, although still a subscriber, I'm largely in agreement with Billyhoyle's comments. I wish they'd allocate more resources to wrestling (but recognize why they might not), but appreciate their interest in our sport, and view them as a net positive. I'm also not at all surprised by steelfrog's subsequent silence, but if he/she can provide more specific allegations, I'll certainly read them. 1 Wrestleknownothing reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to a different thread on here which claimed TR Foley as the source, yes: Which in response to the prior post, would be a pretty specific allegation, right?

1032004 943 Report post Posted July 18, 2020 Can’t find anything else about them suing OSU specifically, but also according to Foley they sued Track because they wanted to put the Iowa/OSU dual on NBC. Don’t think I’ve heard that before, not sure if it was more known. https://intermatwrestle.com/articles/17848 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
