So he would have MFF out if he won the semi final last night? Team possibly winning a trophy doesn't matter to him? I get it he's hurt. But he was ok to wrestle for two days.
It depends on the injury and the risk of further damage. I'm not going to judge someone else's injury management but I will say it's probably a lot easier to risk injury with a championship on the line than grinding through the backside.

When the going gets tuff, quitters gonna quit. I don't understand the mentality today. If he is legit hurt don't wrestle at all. Besides all the stupid tape which does zero for shoulders, he showed no lack of movement, no hint of discomfort and wrestled great. Spencer wrestled without knees for gods sake. Iowa deserves better.

K tape actually does wonders for shoulders 🤷

Their injuries include: bruised ego, damaged pride, and reduce self esteem.
Hey good to see you back here. Remember this? Good times…
I don't know how anyone watches this match and thinks, "Ben Davino will beat Marcus Blaze".

So, Davino, who has scored one (1) TD against Blaze in their last three matches, while giving up seven, is magically going to figure it out, because…Folk?

Ok.

Nice. Way to be a dick on an appreciation thread.

AF is hurt and will have surgery and be a Hawk next year.
Appreciate your support and all that you do for the Iowa Hawkeye Wrestling family! I wish we had 10 more people like you! On behalf of Hawkeye Nation, we applaud you and thank you for keeping this going during the hard times.
I was in Elizabeth last week and thought of you. Thank you, sir!

You honestly need help figuring this out? Guy is injured and needs surgery, but puts it off to wrestle for himself and the team, getting AA and team points, but wisely shutting it down.

Do watch the matches? Go back and watch Rowley match he hurt his left shoulder. You can see it happen and also see him whisper to Tom on the way off the mat.
If he hurt it against Rowley why did he continue to wrestle? It didn’t seem like he was favoring anything against Max.
For context on toughness, they had a stretcher on the mat to haul Heppner off yesterday. After a lengthy delay he strapped his head gear on and finished the match against Mitch M. Holding MM to his only decision win this year. Oh, and he continued to wrestle on the back side to a podium finish.
