I wish! Nolf so good! Tony C not so muchSaw our next Head Coach Jason Nolf (
And Real Woods beat Anthony Ashnault 7-2.
Hopefully he’s still available when we need a coach, which will be a while. I have a feeling a big extension is coming for TnT. If coarse you could do that for recruiting purposes, then they could step down early like Dressler did, by 3 years. You wonder if that was really what he wanted?
Cassioppi got pinned for the second time in two RAF matches but he's not been paired with slouches either and Sharipov just pinned Hendrickson a couple months ago in Zagreb too.
I think Mikey exposed a weakness in Blaze with the takedown off the whistle in OT at Nationals. Nolf did that to him three or four times for takedowns or push outs almost immediately on the ref's whistle.
Zahid looked great again, looks to be rounding into form when he'll need it most.
Jordan Oliver moving up to a now vacant 155 and maybe facing Retherford sounds good to me if Zain wins at the next show.
Probably a weaker card than usual with the US Open taking most of the American talent for next week except some Final Xers.

I’ve caught the last 2 RAF cards and so far I’ve been really impressed. They seem to have about the perfect ratio of elite wrestlers to entertainment guys (mma/Caden Henchel types) to bring in your typical wrestling fans and then draw some mma fans over too. They’ve already lasted longer than I expected it to and they seem to be continuing to grow when you look at some of their recent signings. I’d be curious to see what financials look like though cause the arenas aren’t real big, I can’t imagine their tv deal is worth a ton of money and paying some of these guys can’t be cheap. With all that said I hope it continues to grow and hope to see some more Iowa guys in the future!
Pico will be 30 this fall. Time sure flies.
Just got announced vs Lance Palmer at RAF10. I'm excited to see how he does. Still ten years younger than Palmer so jumping back in on the shallow end is probably wise.
I think we all got robbed by not getting to see Pico at his potential. Everyhting was pointing in the direction of possibly one of the all time greats.
Not many win their Senior level debut at 17 years old.
He would have been a man without a country. Too big for 65 (after 2016) and no way was he beating JB or Dake for a while.
His NCAA finishes? My gosh. Could have won 4.
Jaydin Eierman facing Andrew Alirez at RAF10. Be fun to see him go again, could be a high scoring match with those two.
DeSanto added to RAF10 in three weeks, defending the Bantamweight belt against Reineri Ortega. Ortega beat Gilman a year ago 4-3 in the bonus freestyle match after the ISU-OSU dual and is still only 28 (in Cuban years at least).
Woods looked awesome just now! Im excited to see how him and Bassett goes.
He did look great, I think it's the most aggressive I've ever seen him in a match. Solid show, nothing too spectacular this time. Keckeisen with a nice win after getting down early, Minto gave Nolf more than I expected, Snyder-Givi got ruined by the early injury so Givi had nothing on one leg. AJ in the front row getting lots of love on commentary, maybe he won't come back to college at all? I had noticed RAF started following his instagram but don't know if that was recently or for some time. Starocci hasn't wrestled since he got whipped at RAF02, make that match happen!
Seeing Snyder getting "hero worshipped" on Fox Network was kinda nauseating Saturday night.

Ben Askren is going to have a comeback match at RAF11 in Milwaukee against Belal Muhammad. I don't know if he'll win or lose, but that's pretty incredible to even give it a shot one year after nearly dying and a double lung transplant.
Wasn't long ago Ben stated he was not to attend functions with large gatherings of people, and now he's going to wrestle. God speed!
Thus, the "However."
And don't ask me if you are guessing that or not. Only you can know that.
DeSanto beats Reinieri Ortega from the cyclone RTC 2-1.
Danis is a tool and those Russian dudes don't joke around. They are down to brawl at the drop of a hat.Chimaev and Danis
Fight at the end was a mess. Not a good look for wrestling. Maybe the main events need to be wrestlers from now on. Also RAF needs 30 police around the mat. They had a brawl already in an event and obviously didn't make the proper adjustments with security
You get what you tolerate. If a kick or punch brought a permanant suspension, that would put an end to the antics. These guys can control themselves. They just choose not to.
RAF likes when this stuff happens, because it goes viral on social media.
It’s all about getting views, imo. What better way to get mma fans invested?
The first one Willie got hurt and broke his ankle . Not sure if any injuries occurred last night. If a UFC fighter gets hurt Dana will say no more UFC guys I have a feeling
It’s not often I root against wrestlers but I hope Bo gets knocked out then on his walk out of the cage gets struck by lightening (not killed just a good zap to maybe make him a little less douchey)
And now we must wait to find out what tasteless degradation Trump will next visit upon this poor, suffering nation.
The greatest nation in the history of man has been brought low by an obese carnival barker with dyed hair, capped teeth and oddly orange spray-on makeup.

Maybe he can wrapped the columns of the White House in rainbow colors and have a drag show...
TDS
He won easily, but also has only faced one solid UFC guy, and he got embarrassed in that fight. We shall see now since he's won a couple of fights since then and is going to be given tougher opponents going forward.
He losers this is wrestling board take the political BS somewhere else. Would say mods delete this BS but I'm not sure any are here
Yeah I think he’s pretty FoS with that reading minds crap and I think he’s an ***, but damn the kid could wrestle. Sure wish some of our guys would learn to let it fly on the mat like Bo used to do.
