[johnstownsteel]

Today is festivus....only better...

 

[backdrft76]

What time they get started?

 

[CropDuster507]

Best way to recover from a wedding... Let's go!

 

[Abro1975]

Another great wrestling event only available via pay site Flowrestling.
ESPN got such great ratings covering the NCAAs, I wonder why they don't carry high profile wrestling events like this. Can't believe Flo can outbid them for the rights.

What time they get started?

11am est

 

[CropDuster507]

Starting at 10 AM Central

We all need to engage in a rational discussion about how wrestling fans want wrestling to be mainstream, widely and deeply covered, but want it all for free at some point in the future.

I nominate spyker to chair this event...

 

[LemonPie]

Nolf-Pantaleo should be entertaining.

ESPN is not free, but only available via a paid cable subscription. ESPN did well covering the NCAAs and actually have a tie in with the ACC network for wrestling, MAC too possibly.. I appreciate Flowrstling carrying so many tournaments, just wonder why ESPN takes a pass on big National events like the WTT when they cover so many smaller sporting events. I guess it comes down to dollars and cents in the end.

I'll take Shane Sparks

 

[johnstownsteel]

I'll take Shane Sparks

Lmao

 

[FineMaterial]

Cruz and Gilman are the lead off match.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Nolf-Pantaleo should be entertaining.

I can't get Zain's beatings of Pantaleo out of my head when I think of him. Maybe it was a bad style matchup because he's a talented guy

 

[WildTurk]

Cruz and Gilman are the lead off match.

Should be a good one. Cruz is dangerous!

IIRC, they were wear 'em out breakings that looked competive for a while. Now AP is up some weight and Jason is more liberal giving up points from neutral. Really could go either way.

 

[Ja1339]

Let's get ready to rummmmbbbllle

 

[johnstownsteel]

Should be a good one. Cruz is dangerous!

I'll take Gilman rather easily.

 

[fen103]

Gilman wins easy 9-0.

 

[mcruny42]

Brewer v Ness pretty crazy with a minute left

Bewer wins 14-13

 

[johnstownsteel]

Let's do this Zain!

 

[mcruny42]

Zain up on 2!

 

[fen103]

Zach techs Eierman 13-2

 

[RoarLions1]

Nolf 2 bouts away on Mat 2.
Nico next on Mat 1.

 

[fen103]

Zain wrestles Nick Dardanes next round.

 

[tikk10]

Zain will see Nick Dardanes next, who got past Kellen Russell 4-1. Can't imagine we'll see much more of Russell on the senior circuit.

 

[LemonPie]

Gilman is the biggest choker in recent memory.

Eierman is going to give Heil all he can handle next year. Can you believe those jokers at Mizzou tried to force him at 133?

 

[LemonPie]

My God, Nico isn't the most exciting wrestler, but watching Sanders is excruciating

 

[fen103]

Nico wins 2-0.

 

[diggerpup]

I'm just watching blue & red FLO guys.
Sanders go on the shot clock twice ?
That takes effort.

Nolf up

 

[RoarLions1]

Jason up 2-0 early.

 

[RoarLions1]

Now 5-2 Jason, end of 1.

 

[Petch]

Now 5-2 Jason, end of 1.

Thanks Roar!

 

[RoarLions1]

1:30 to go, still 5-2

 

[RoarLions1]

Now 7-2 Jason, less than 1 min to go

 

[LemonPie]

Nolf looked great! Very solid win. As far as results are concerned, they were pretty even at the US Open.

 

[RoarLions1]

Jason beats Pantaleo 13-2...

Late TD and leg lace

 

[RoarLions1]

Gilman vs Graff now...should be a good one.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Nolf wrestled a more controlled match there trying to avoid giving up any cheap points.

 

[RoarLions1]

DT 2 bouts away on mat 1
