Retain Cocaine Shane, and fire literally everyone else.
I have to watch these events muted.

Dream would be, Shane, jordan Burroughs, and Daniel cormier.
Shane and Jordan know the wrestling, DC can commentate on the mma backgrounds

I did not think Ridge would be this good at freestyle. In folkstyle, one of his best attributes is his ability to ride guys, work through positions, and find turns. Between this and his US Open performance, he's been so consistently good and creative at finding ways to score.
Hopefully the rest of the Huskers keep bringing it.

In high school Lovett was known as a Greco/Freestyle guy. 10x Fargo all American, including 3 Greco titles

u/Cautious-Payment409 1d ago
Yea, I actually knew about his high school career and because of his Greco accolades, I thought he may follow Peyton Robb and go that route at the senior level.

At the end of the match and ridge threw in double boots... Definitely using his folk skill for fs

Man, I hope been Askren is okay health wise. I can't imagine having gone through what he did.

u/Thelittleshepherd USA Wrestling 1d ago
Did something look amiss?

u/builders247362 USA Wrestling 1d ago
He looked okay but had times when he was coughing a lot, certainly can tell he’s a new person

u/breedlovesyou USA Wrestling 2h ago
Right, I said he needed a break then they went right back to him. Now he's wrestling in july?!? Hope he's ok for that...

Pretty cool we saw a little preview of Final X in a few weeks with Ridge and Zain. The question is can Ridge make Zain wrestle his style of match and I think the answer is probably no
2
u/HouseHusband941 1d ago
I think Ridge can beat him on the angles and the continuation of wrestling.
Zain is so disciplined in his head and hands defense. Then his hips on top of that. Taylor was trying to attack him straight on, unable to get through it.
Ridge makes people move and hits them on the angles. Then force the scrambles and score from there.

I cant find it on YouTube or any other free site

u/prospectinfinance 1d ago
I think they only show the first few matches on youtube but not the whole thing.

u/captcha_bot USA Wrestling 19h ago
They usually post the whole thing on the Fox Nation YouTube channel about a week later.

u/YardSad5047 USA Wrestling 1d ago
I usually run it on 2 screens (TV & tablet) that way I can take care of whatever but the TV is about 15 seconds behind and since you can't pause ECT I'm stuck lol

u/TheRobberBar0n NC State Wolfpack 1d ago
Have you tried running it on 2x speed? Usually once you refresh and do that it'll let you catch up closer to live

Reminder that RAF’s CFO is blackballed from actually coaching for beating children.
1
u/breedlovesyou USA Wrestling 2h ago
Blackballed from IHSA. For high school. Now he just coaches IKWF and sends all of his studs to IC Catholic Prep. Where he has other coaches like Clay Guida coach them.

AJ looking like a 197 pounder. Does he try again at Iowa next year?

u/MethBaby75 Nebraska Cornhuskers 1d ago
Is that an old Pic for the matches? Taylor wrestled Retherford. Was Taylor a replacement for the guy shown?
3
u/LilBoneAir USA Wrestling 1d ago
Yeah it is. I didn't realize I had an old graphic when I posted it but Ochir backed out 2 weeks ago due to injury I am pretty sure
