I absolutely love how AB wrestles and competes, and have looked past his religious monologues, but he doesn't come across great on his recent interview on Baschamania.
- Makes a lot of excuses...plays some victim
- A little full of himself and a bit condescending
- A little paranoid regarding DT and his new staff
- Not a lot of respect for DT...just passive-aggressive nonsense
- Kinda blames DT for his PED issue
- and the non-stop religious lectures.
Still hoping he keeps winning and continues to win, but I can see how he can seem nauseating.
Just listened to the podcast..
1. We want people to talk openly, and when they do it’s called an excuse? He said he was sick against Glazer at Iowa and knew that would be a much different match at B1Gs. Not sure what other “excuses” you’re alluding to. I took him as an honest open person answering the questions
2. Anyone at the top of their craft has a competitive side. He gives all praise to “God,” that’s the furthest to being full of himself. I didn’t hear anything condescending.
3. He praises Gilman. Said out of the three Gilman was the one he was closest with. Not sure where you thought he came off “paranoid?”
4. I think he has a ton of respect of DT as a wrestler. He said DT didn’t wrestle with him for 2 yrs. Seems that didn’t sit well with AB but I can definetly feel there is no love lost there
5. I didn’t hear him blame DT for anything about his issue (says he was cleared before trials) and should be cleared up this week as far as the paperwork issue
6. AB is 100% devout Christian. AB follows the gospel as the word and in his mind, it’s his calling is to share that to anyone to try to bring Christ into their lives. It comes from love although I do understand some people take that as “pushing it on others”.
Just wanted to give my impressions on your points and how I took it (to each their own)
