I do not remember where it was (Instagram or twitter) this morning but someone had said they wanted more interviews by people other than the Flo guys and Mark Hall replied saying something to the extent that either no one from Penn St. agreed to take part in it OR didn't even know they were doing it.Cool to watch old footage, but without current interviews, kind of meh as Roar would say
feel like an 'obligatory' film since they do other features on programs and individuals. However, if PSU isn't entertaining access, then we get what it is. But yea, a better overall view and clips could very well be expected as everyone noted. But it is going to be hard to get Cael to brag!They're going to have to jam the entire 2nd half of PSU's 2011-2019 dynasty into 30 minutes somehow.
I got DT and Ruth were the main players for the first dynasty but disappointed the following weren't covered that much:
1. Nico made the finals as a freshman as a 10 seed
2. Q upset Kilgore to seal the 2013 title
3. JE's AA run (with career ending injuries basically) gave PSU the cushion they needed for Saturday night
I was disappointed in Ep 1 too. It was as if David Jones produced it, fairly negative contra-Penn St. Almost felt it was a Bubba Jenkins documentaryThanks for the update as I, like many others, was wondering when it would be released. After viewing, IMO, episode 2 is even worse than episode 1. Too much time spent covering negative events and limited coverage of more deserving success stories. The entire documentary seems misguided, or maybe I just feel misled based on the title. I expected better reporting on the team (megaludis, molinaro, Lawson?) with more coverage of the campus/town during this time of dominance. Overall production is solid but substance is significantly lacking in this series.
I don't get all of the Flo bashing here. They don't have the budget or talent to create a Last Dance type of documentary. They are doing essentially 3 30 or so minute segments and they can't focus on everything that happened in the last decade. Are they Emmy quality, no, but I have enjoyed them anyway and am really glad we have Flo to provide wrestling content. What we pay for a subscription annually is minimal compared to the content available.
Maybe because people pay Flo real money. I mean, I get that they're a low budget outfit and wrestling is a niche sport, but it's entirely fair to hold them to a quality standard above a Youtube highlight compilation, especially since they aspire to be wrestling's leading content provider.I don't get all of the Flo bashing here.

Every bit the career of David, and half of the greatest wrestling duo to that point in history, for two guys that were on the same team all four years.I just finished watching episode 2. I agree with many of the above comments. What I enjoyed about episode 2 was the interviews Ed Ruth gave, cool as a cucumber and he enjoyed the sport with putting little pressure on himself it seemed. Then to watch again how strong he was at some of those takedowns to complete the finish and how quick he slapped on his cradle was fun to watch.
Have course ESPN shouldof done it! They are the best have the best!Like I said originally this should of been an espn 30 for 30 or something done by espn. Flo is meh at best
I missed where Flo outbid Espn for the rights to this story.Like I said originally this should of been an espn 30 for 30 or something done by espn. Flo is meh at best
Helps when i read The thread first. @RoarLions1 beat me in substance and speed.Enjoyed watching the 2nd ep just now. At least they gave Q a little screen time. But Nico? Molinaro? I mean shoot--I don't think it's too much to ask to show some Conaway? English? MacIntosh? I love DT and Ed, so it was cool to see them get the proper props--but even a montage of these other guys would soothe. They'll probably introduce ep 3 w/ Zain--but his freshman year didn't even get a sniff. I guess they probably don't own a lot of footage, but still.
Nico and crew must be in part 3What I don't get is that they mentioned Andrew Long and Andrew Alton in the first episode so they felt like they needed to acknowledge the supporting cast but then didn't mention Nico, Frank or Matt in the second one. I realize I'm repeating what has been said by others.
A powerful point to make about the 2012 team though is that Matt Brown, a future 3 time AA and NC, might have been the 2nd best 174 in the country and couldn't make the team, but yet no mention.
The "crew" that will be the focus of episode 3, my guess, are Zain, Jason, Bo, Hall & Cenzo. I do hope to see the other AA's get their mention, but more importantly ... the program (the Coaches and what they've built) should be the story -- that there are tough wrestlers at all weights. Here's a few pre-highlights, highly doubt all are mentioned;Nico and crew must be in part 3

Here's a few pre-highlights, highly doubt all are mentioned;
-- Cenzo wins 2x, both against a consensus favorite, and was a 3x finalist.
-- Hall won against another wunderkind, and was a 3x finalist.
-- Jason and Bo, 'nuff said, special stuff.
-- Zain won 3x, and was a 2x Hodge Winner.
-- Megaludis, Nevills, McIntosh, Conaway, Rasheed, Lawson & RBY all were instrumental in the 5-years, 2015-2019.
-- N. Lee and Cassar are great stories.
They did close the teaser with..."You got a plan or something?"

I think I saw it in a Flo tweet that it’s this Wednesday at 8:00. Edit....yes, this Wednesday at 8:00.Anyone know when episode 3 will be aired? I went on Flo and it's still the sneak peak and I couldn't find any info about the next airing.
