Look at that flat stomach less than six months after giving birth. I feel like I can empathize with Amit as my stomach is definitely in second trimester territory lately. She is only 22 and mentioned that wrestling through the 2032 Olympics is a realistic goal for her. If she has that long of a career, or competes even longer, like Helen or Adeline, she will probably end up as the most decorated female U.S. wrestler ever.

Elor is great at what she does but it beatable by anyone who can withstand her ties. She doesn't have a great leg attack series so if someone stays out of ties, works from distance and concedes they are going to start in the hole due to passivity points, she can be beaten with one takedown.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm kinda with Googles on this one, WRT to withstanding her ties. The world has had ample opportunity to strategize against her, and we haven't seen it happen yet. You never know where the next generational talent will pop up though, Amit's Snyder/Yazdani may yet encounter Amit's Sadulaev/Taylor. You certainly have described a sound strategy.

One of the reasons I think she'll be beaten is because she hasn't really faced anyone internationally of note multiple times so no one has had a chance to make adjustments. Her grip strength is otherworldly and you can see most of her takedowns come from her judo background so getting a feel would be important. I'm sure the one she beat 3-0 in the Olympic finals would like another shot or two.

Bro. Stop it. It’s women’s wrestling.

This is quite possibly one of the worst wrestling takes I have ever read.

I will say this: I would love to see an Amit versus Tamyra match-up in a future RAF. Though WWE contracts may not allow it. @WillieTheBrain
I was thinking that I hadn't heard anything about Tamyra and wondered what happened to her. It doesn't look like a WWE contract should hold her back. From Wikipedia (so take it for what it is worth):

On April 24, 2026, Steele was released by WWE, ending her near three-year tenure with the promotion.[37] She wrestled her final WWE match on the April 29 (taped on April 10) episode of Evolve where she lost to Kali Armstrong.[38]

Apparently, her ring name was Tyra Mae Steele

Wonder if this was a necessity to keep Hendrickson there. Surely, that guy is obligated to do SOMETHING associated with the military to satisfy his service requirements.
No.

Hendrickson already had a job there when he was a student. This is just DT doing more.

We'll see how it works out. WCAP (freestyle) is all over the place and can never seem to stick. You guys had them for a year or 2 as well. But then, quietly, with no press, they just left.

Injury related? Competition challenges? Or just plain balanced life perspective like Mitch?
Coming back from injury and pushing through workouts with pain was just something he didn't want to do anymore he lost his drive some. Thats basically what he said in the interview. But he's now training for some cliff rocks competition with his wife. My takeaway is that life is happening and wrestling isn't the most important thing anymore. Respect to him for being honest with himself and hanging them up and not trying to hang on . He will be missed he was fun to watch

One of the mods moved a post (IIRC the Keegan O'Toole retirement post) from this thread to a better one, and said he did on that post. Apparently this thread's remaining posts managed to squeeze into 104 pages.

But at least now we know who cares about page counts.
Ha. I noticed because one of my posts disappeared too.
