Especially when Larry Kehres was coaching them up.

yea when Kehres was the coach they were crushing everyone all the way to winning the titles!
Terry isn't all bad. He rescued Warner from becoming a slumlord.
Just saw an Instagram post that Caliendo is no longer listed as a member of HWC. NFI
Probably ready to go someplace to learn how to wrestle.
I can’t get over Josh Barr’s interview on State Media. He said he went like a month without getting a single takedown, and started to believe he just wasn’t good at wrestling. He was nearly in tears. Then a coach encouraged him and slowly he started to improve.
If Caliendo was in the PSU room… I have to think he would have nearly the same experience. Who is helping Caliendo improve at Iowa? Nobody.
What’s going on in Columbus?
Cue the "He wasn't that great at freestyle anyways" posts over there.

The Cesspool is a decent source for actual wrestling news. It is also a good source for laughs. Their favorite, unintended comedy routine is that everybody cheats but them. After years of accusing anyone involved with the Treigning Lab of juicing, they quickly dropped that whine when some of their own started training there. My current thread of amusement is the one announcing their new Assistant Athletic Performance Coach. (https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/news-men’s-wrestling-adds-to-coaching-staff-ahead-of-2026-27-season.9043832/) They're all psyched that he spent seven years working with the Chinese national swimming system because China has won a lot of medals in swimming. Not a whisper of China's long history of doping violations. Including their swimmers getting caught doping when he worked there.
Shane Sparks says the hire was made to help them when matches get taken into deep water.
One of the many dope af lines in the theme song to the old The Inside Trip podcast!
Come on everybody, it's The Inside Trip,
So grab a High Life and take a sip.
On that T. I . T., get up & scream
And you can spell it backwards you know what I mean?
Your boy Brando in the house tonight,
then I lay it down smooth & keep it tight.
When Ben Watson gets on the mic,
you better get ready because he brings the hype.
It's about that time, you already know
That nasty trip, this nasty flow
The Insight Trip, that is the show,
Don't wind up on your back broooo.
Yeah I watched that interview. I think what he said was he thought he wasn't any good and wasn't getting better and he got the coaching encouragement, but it was when he entered a couple open competitions and realized he was in fact getting much better.
Similar tales of frustration have been told by Mark Hall, Carter, Ed Ruth wrestling Casey, Bo and many others.
