'26 Senior World Championships (10/24-11/1) thread

[Corby2]

Wyatt was going to lose... but giving up that 4 was stupid.

He knew it but was thinking if I get 4 here maybe I can win. Gotta belly down there . He knew if Zare got on top it was over

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Hendrickson drops 10-0 to Zare (Iran)

The International portion of the next Stilly Boys video will be a little scaled back

 

[Nightking]

Zain 1-1 at the break

 

[m.knox]

What was the penalty point for against Zain.... And Flo goes to "technical difficulties..."

 

[nerfstate]

…and Flo gonna Flo

 

[Cheat code]

Glitchy Flo feed

 

[vhsalum]

oh my. Zain not being able to finish a single cost him. Great D from Akmataliev.

Never seen him struggle like that before

 

[Cheat code]

Zain behind on 3 sweep singles, gave up TD on one, got step out on one, and- while down 3-2 in last 20 seconds- opponent slipped out without giving up anything

they said it was his straight arm pushing the head when opponent had a russian tie

 

[nerfstate]

Zain loses to the hometown kid 3-2. He had him, the Kid had great D

 

[o_Grass]

I guess you have to give that dude credit. Incredible defense.

 

[Cheat code]

Opponent never attempted a shot the entire match. Was put on shot clock once but received a penalty point when ZR straight-arm blocked the Russian tie

 

[vhsalum]

Never seen him struggle like that before

I was screaming "stay above the knee" - but he did that on the last single, and STILL didn't finish. That was phenomenal by Akmataliev.

Hadn't heard that one before. On to Dake. 5th match of the day for him. That's a lot of wrestling.

 

[vhsalum]

Wrestling just can't get it right with the internet... Dear God.

 

[Corby2]

Switch mat to alternate. Flo has a different feed. Audio not good but not choppy. Flo uses uww feeds for the mats.

 

[nerfstate]

Kadiev is clearly stronger than Kyle. Hopefully he can outsmart him, and maybe fix the Flo feed too. 2-2 at the break.

Thanks, that hadn't been there.

Fake up 4-2, ;50 left. Kadiev tired

Dake 6-3

 

[Corby2]

DAKE USA

 

[nerfstate]

Dake wins! 6-3 Scrappy match.

 

[LemonPie]

Hell yes, Dake! Keeping us in the team race

 

[Corby2]

Tom with the perfect timing . We are watching Dake

 

[m.knox]

Dake wins! 6-3 Scrappy match.

Scrappy indeed. Might need two Metoprolol today....

 

[vhsalum]

Dake does it again.

 

[nerfstate]

Who was the dude here arguing Cael should cut Dake loose from his contract?

 

[Corby2]

Russsia 3 in the final and 3 in bronze
Usa 3 in the finals and 2 in bronze blaze 1 win from bronze match
Iran 2 in finals 2 in bronze 1 needs a win and 1 OUT

 

[Reslo1]

Dake does it again.

Still aging in reverse.

 

[PortaJohn]

According to ancient Greek mythology, Zeus once granted a young wrestler named Kyle Dake the gift of eternal youth.

But there was a catch. Dake would never age, yet every four years he would have to prove himself worthy of the gift.

For thousands of years, Dake traveled the earth, wrestling kings, warriors, and Olympic champions.

Eventually, Zeus grew tired of watching him and thundered from Mount Olympus:

"Kyle, it's been 3,000 years. When are you going to retire?"

Dake looked up and replied, "I'm just entering my prime."

Zeus shook his head. "That's what you told Milo of Croton."

The argument that guy uses (about domestic familiarity) always gets me. “Dake only prepared for Zahid!!! It’s not fair!”

Dake with 4 world golds or so and doesn’t have a “style” for international events. Okay, sure

 

[zzs006]

So close to a perfect round for USA (excluding Wyatt, I forgot about him). This one is going haunt Zain. He was the better guy. In deep on shots he usually finishes. Akmataliev showed absolutely insane defense but Zain will almost always finish at least 1 of those. Blaze as close to winning as possible as well. Tough way to lose for both guys. I thought Wyatt had a chance with how he was wrestling but Zare is the worst possible matchup for him. Not even close unfortunately. Dake does it again against Russia’s next big thing. He is such a smart wrestler. Probably his best trait

You can't cure stupid.

Just another guy who hates Penn State. From Chicago, so there is a Big 10 envy association. There was also some ridicule of Snyder from GlobalWrestOrder in his tweets for beating Sadulaev by a “gimmick” 4-4 after Sadulaev had been injured in the recent past.

 

[pawrstlersinpa]

Leydecker is golden!

 

[AndEEss]

If Worlds was a month earlier, and Blaze isn't spending at least some time each day gearing up for Folk season, does he do more to clear the whizzer? In folk, the leg in means control and he doesn't have to clear that to establish control. Not the case under UWW rules.

Not trying to start a folk vs free debate but I wonder if the overlap confuses guys sometimes. I remember Levi leg lacing someone twice during an early season match last year, for example.
