Bull/Joseph

[WildTurk]

Just got home from the dual. I fast forwarded right to this match. I absolutely love watching these 2 battle. All out war. Blood, sweat and giant cajones. That match is what great college wrestling is about. I hope we get to see them wrestle 2 more times. 174 was great aswell. We all got our money's worth forsure!

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

I respect Marinelli because he is a real talent and doesn’t change who he is based on the opponent. Good to see VJ come out on top. The match was Wrestlemania 2 caliber.

A well fought match where the loser should have given a legitimate handshake to the winner.

I love Marinelli. The kid goes out and attacks and last night he threw the kitchen sink at VJ. What a match! The Bull insisted that somebody was getting tossed last night and I love that he was confident enough in himself to believe it wouldn't be him. It ended up being him but man he has some cojones. Great match.

 

[Hotshoe]

I loved VJ's counter to the inside trip. Real man of genius.

 

[nerfstate]

I wouldn’t call AM a poor sport (Maryland sure was), though that was a mistake not to shake his hand. Not sure if my arteries can take 2 more of these matchups, but I’m still looking forward to them.

Is the Bull from Maryland?

He did a blow by handshake. Rewind and you can see it

I've heard a lot of excuses attempting to justify a losing wrestler not giving a legit handshake of respect after two warriors do battle. None of them were plausible.

 

[PSU Mike]

It wasn’t a big shake but from memory it was clear Alex reached on his own and made contact.

 

[billrag]

Having wrestled a bit myself, having watched my two sons wrestle a good bit more than I did and having been a fan of the sport for decades, I really think a wrestler should give a legit handshake and congratulate and thank his opponent, win, lose or draw. That said, If Marinelli gave a swat, slap or made contact, I don't think he's necessarily deserving of any criticism from the PSU fans or anyone else. His parents, his wife or his coaches might want to mention it to him, but he's not deserving of attacks here in my humble opinion.

True, but that is pretty much the norm these days and has been for a while. DeSanto did even less than Marinelli did.

That's been the norm for years.

I'm old enough to remember pages and pages of posts about Martinez "not shaking" Cenzo's hand.

 

[McScoreley]

Bull shook hands, it was kind of a drive by. It was like the one IMar gave Cenzo in 2017, weak hand touch. It is what it is, I don't think it says anything about Bull's character. Truthfully, I think the kid thought he might have just cost his team the dual there.

I love it whenever these two wrestle. Both matches were decided by a 6 point move, I'm glad Cenzo came out on top this time

 

[Callthestall]

What Maryland team did was bush league.
Marinelli's actions were fine. He just lost a war of a match.
There's a saying about losing.
"Show me a kid who likes losing and I'll show you a kid that loses a lot."

 

[nitlion6]

True, but that is pretty much the norm these days and has been for a while. DeSanto did even less than Marinelli did.

To be fair, DeSanto was distracted conquering up a plausible explanation for the twins.

Iowa style.

I love watching these guys wrestle. The bull is one tough dude and they always put on a show. Can we just agree that both of these guys are a prime example about what is Right with college wrestling? We dwell on all of the things wrong in our sport often enough. I am thankful to have the opportunity to watch both of these young men compete.

This. Who cares? He walked over.

 

[El-Jefe]

Appreciate the sentiment but maybe they can stop before this conclusion ...

 

[PSUer1989]

Ok, deleted the MD post. I didn't see the swipe/handshake but if it happened, I was wrong and have no problem admitting so. A handshake, win or lose, should be expected though.

Exactly
The bull is bullshit

 

[WildTurk]

He shook his hand. Just because it wasn't the way you wanted him to do it doesn't mean that it didn't happen

Did you see me admit I was wrong? I know you are not used to seeing that, coming from HR, but it happens from time to time dude

 

[cidhawkeye]

Think we may need to back and watch some videos of post match handshakes after disappointing defeats. Pretty interesting viewing.

I was addressing the masses, not signaling you out. Good for you though dude.

That handshake has to be photoshopped. No?

 

[bowandarrow]

Based on Cenzo's finger placement, It is clear he is an assassin for the Illuminati.

Fake news at its finest, I read somewhere there was no handshake at all. Oooops. Need a new fake flag event.

Well that's just great. You guys have the slushfund, Willie, AND the Illuminati all at your disposal. Unbelievable......

 

[Dogwelder]

It seems Cenzo was starting to give The Bull a one point palm exploding heart technique. No wonder The Bull pulled away so quickly.

He’s checking for a pulse. “Is this guy human?”

Turk, it was a great match. Lots of surprises. Congratulations to the Hawks. Kemerer impressed. Seems like a great young man.

 

[danoftw]

Where's this guy? One of the most knowledgeable fan base dudes that stopped by to let us know how this match would go down.

-Cenzo isn't beating Bull
-Cenzo has never beaten Bull. Why would that change now?
And be objective, please
-NEVER in college. Bull lives rent free in Cenzo's head. He knows he'll end up on his back again if he gets aggressive with Marinelli.

I think that he is hanging out with the guys that were saying Kemerer had no chance against Hall trying to figure out why speaking in absolutes about future matches is a bad idea....

Terry worked with Bull on this move. Step 1:Tell him to throw you.

Step 2: Get thrown.

Unfortunately for Illinois, Terry also taught the move to Deuce Rachal one year, in early April.

 

[NittanyChris]

I predicted a Cenzo win and he got it done. Marinelli is very tough. Though Cenzo got the 6 point move that time, it did seem as though Marinelli had a slight advantage in some of those upper body tie ups.
Love to see Cenzo hit him with a big blast double next time. He scored on that in their first match and White took him down with ease this year with that as well.
It will be a war every time these two meet.
