Hopefully he’s still available when we need a coach, which will be a while. I have a feeling a big extension is coming for TnT. If coarse you could do that for recruiting purposes, then they could step down early like Dressler did, by 3 years. You wonder if that was really what he wanted?
Cassioppi got pinned for the second time in two RAF matches but he's not been paired with slouches either and Sharipov just pinned Hendrickson a couple months ago in Zagreb too.
I think Mikey exposed a weakness in Blaze with the takedown off the whistle in OT at Nationals. Nolf did that to him three or four times for takedowns or push outs almost immediately on the ref's whistle.
Zahid looked great again, looks to be rounding into form when he'll need it most.
Jordan Oliver moving up to a now vacant 155 and maybe facing Retherford sounds good to me if Zain wins at the next show.
Probably a weaker card than usual with the US Open taking most of the American talent for next week except some Final Xers.

I’ve caught the last 2 RAF cards and so far I’ve been really impressed. They seem to have about the perfect ratio of elite wrestlers to entertainment guys (mma/Caden Henchel types) to bring in your typical wrestling fans and then draw some mma fans over too. They’ve already lasted longer than I expected it to and they seem to be continuing to grow when you look at some of their recent signings. I’d be curious to see what financials look like though cause the arenas aren’t real big, I can’t imagine their tv deal is worth a ton of money and paying some of these guys can’t be cheap. With all that said I hope it continues to grow and hope to see some more Iowa guys in the future!
