VakAttack 3,132 Report post Posted April 4 It was an extremely odd reaction given his effort to actually win the match. 3 Perry, GranbyTroll and Greatdane67 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pawrestler 102 Report post Posted April 4 That was really weird. I feel Bo didn’t really try that match, maybe had a mental block Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headshuck 2,311 Report post Posted April 4 I'll bet he was sending a message that he wasn't happy to be told to throw the match. 2 1 4 GranbyTroll, goStanford18, cjc007 and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrestlingnerd 2,779 Report post Posted April 4 I mean, he didn't even look him in the eye. It was weird indeed given their history together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJE64 6 Report post Posted April 4 i couldnt agree more... is that how he would have wrestled had he not been up against anyone else? having watched him his whole career, there is no way bo would concede anything down the stretch.... just seemed odd...that said, it was hard watching guys who have spent years training together wrestling in this tourney...snyder/moore...yianni/oliver...taylor/bo...definitely a different vibe.... will be interesting to see whether the gauntlet was not a bit tainted by familiarity....congrats to all winners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The history where Taylor didn't tell Nickal he wasn't wrestling in 2019 in order to screw Bo out of a World medal? 3 NJDan, Noodler and Molsen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShakaAloha 210 Report post Posted April 4 Just now, AHamilton said: Gave Taylor an easier path to the team today. Taylor is an amazing wrestler, but he's all about himself. Best of luck to him in Tokyo, but I won't be pulling for him as hard as the rest of our guys. 3 Perry, Waxpacks and IfYouAin'tFirstYou'reLast reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ionel 1,478 Report post Posted April 4 Bo wanted to help the Magic Man up after the fall, maybe throw in a butt slap, but it just wasn't to be. :( 1 Griff the BullRam reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the one! And then Carl told him to lay off the sweep singles tonight or else his money was cut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess which knee Bo laid off on his secondary go-to and guess who pays Bo's salary and guess who is Carl's little brohter. 10x the conspiracy theory of Cox missing weight.

I watched the first match where Bo didn’t do a damn thing. I didn’t see the second one. Why would they care which one of their guys won it? Learn me.

flyingcement 62 Report post Posted April 4 Would have much rather have watched Zahid bring it to DT versus Bo just submitting to his master 1 backpack reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boconnell 1,508 Report post Posted April 4 This is a dumb topic and I'm dumb for replying. Nobody really cares if Taylor got congratulated (including Taylor). People just want to pick the nits on whatever guy wore a different regional singlet during their college years. It's sad. 2 Lurker and Wrestleknownothing reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lu_alum 794 Report post Posted April 4 Wait the what now?!?! I need more info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk After Taylor wrenched his knee at BTS, he laid low. Didn’t tell anyone of his plans for the US Open. Bo entered at 92 (and was something like 9-10 lbs under weight) instead of 86 due to an assumption DT was going to give it a go. Bo won the Open and the WTT challenge. Bo didn’t make the SR team, losing to Cox at Final X, but went on to win World University Gold. MADE SOME EDITS TO ORIGINAL REPLY.

The very interesting question is why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
