'26 Waclow Ziolkowski Memorial (8/29-30) thread

[AgSurfer]

So, Levi over Kennedy and Marcus over DeSanto...........

In other words, business as usual.

 

[Cstroke]

Pin for bronze for Beau.
Gold for Composto.

That’s a good win. Andreasyan is a legit dude

Dude looked like John Smith had him cutting from 86kg

 

[Sunshinedynomite 1]

That doubles his scoring output since 1985

 

[randyl]

and in less than a second !!!

 

[Fan16801]

9-0 bronze for Patrick Kennedy. Georgian opponent exhausted.

 

[Cstroke]

LOL lots of hitting the wall,

 

[Fan16801]

Levi 13-3 with a pin, one minute 4 seconds left. Geo opponent exhausted.

 

[LittleJ]

Luke looks like he has added some muscle since last season.

He needs a bit more strength to overcome Spencer. Good move for him hopefully.

I can't believe I'm getting to watch this live without paying a subscription fee to Flo or some other organization...miracles still happen my friends

 

[Corby2]

16 medals 29 guys wrestled freestyle. We won the first 8 weights got silver at 97 and bronze at 125.

 

[RockySmith]

Levi 13-3 with a pin, one minute 4 seconds left. Geo opponent exhausted.

GEO was like, “OMG, there are still 70 seconds left, please just pin me, I’ve had enough.” it was a great match at the half (3-3), but Levi’s superpower is his conditioning.

 

[PUR158]

Cam Amine 6-0 for Bronze.

Green with the gold. Caliendo silver.

Did Caliendo shake hands after? I better go ask HR.

He's always done that on the mat where it matters

 

[Mr. Chris]

Yeah way too many people made a big deal out of that. I am a huge Mitchell fan and I can honestly say I would not have shook his hand on the podium either. He already shook his hand on the mat. Mitchell went a little over board in my eyes on that one.

 

[Fatwoodchuck]

Im guessing Levi teched the German Wolf Stas David and Basch's website is wrong.

It also had Caliendo over Green which I did watch but still I was confused because of the tournament layout.

I’m not seeing those result errors on the baschboard, maybe he made corrections?

Agree 100%

Completely disagree. Caliendo was frustrated by getting his butt whipped yet again by Mesenbrink and snubbing the handshake was a classless move. People also tend to minimize the elbow that Caliendo threw at Mitchell's head in the finals the year prior. It's understandable that Caliendo was frustrated, but the way he handled that frustration was less than exemplary.

Mitchell went overboard? See that's the narrative non-PSU fans want to push. I 100% am understanding and think it says nothing bad about Caliendo he didn't want to shake his hand.

But somehow Mitchell is supposed to be the bad guy? It's amazing what the mental gymnastics people can do is. Mitchell genuinely wanted to shake everyone's hand, he said it's a big thing in freestyle. He saw Caliendo wasn't interested and immediately moved on without making a scene.

Could blaze and basset ever go head to head ? Would b interesting

I guess my opinion is mental gymnastics lol. I never said Mitchell was the bad guy. He is without a doubt my favorite PSU wrestler ever. I just think he went over board on that one. Sorry for having an opinion lmfao.

He didn't say you weren't entitled to your opinion. You most certainly are, just as McScoreley is entitled to express his opinion that most people need some mental gymnastics to arrive at a conclusion similar to yours.

Something tells me they have already and blaze won but i might be wrong. According to my wife, theres always a 87% chance I'm wrong about everything

2025 World Team Trials. Blaze won 5-1.

How as a fellow Paid Iowa Hater can you say this...

 

[funkisfun10]

Levi 13-3 with a pin, one minute 4 seconds left. Geo opponent exhausted.

The Georgian sat on the mat to pull up his socks after every whistle. He was shot! They should make him wrestle barefoot

It's a non-issue being made into an issue. I don't think Mitchell or Caliendo did anything wrong that needs to be admonished, so, I agree with you.

It's because I'm here. Over there, Caliendo was definitely in the wrong!

I remember that one also… Marcus rolled him for a four point move while they were heading out of bounds.

I don’t know if they’ve ever met in folkstyle.
