RAF 07 tonight. They definitely need a review capability of some sort. The officials are constantly struggling.

Taz knew…he went after Kyle late, if he really thought he was ahead on criteria then he wouldn’t have pursued like that.

Cejudo did not look good in his last match. Bo needs to wrestle someone not on arthritis medicine. Lol. Who's picking his opponents, the Paul brothers?
Idk how they do match making. But I agree. I want to see him against JO or Real Woods

Not sure how Dake is so quick still, but jeez that last step out was wild. The 4 at the end was really cool too.

What happened in the Dake vs Keck match?
With little time left Keck was charging in on a double leg and they cartwheeled around towards out of bounds and Dake managed to keep his back upright and expose Keck for the 4. No bricks in RAF or it may not have scored that way.

*edit* or just watch the video in the next post El Jefe put up. My description isn't that good. I'm no Slippery Pete. 😁

Gotta stop the attack and change the direction of the attacking wrestler . Kecks points if they had review I think. Would've been 3-3 with keck holding criteria with about 4 seconds remaining

I must be in the minority here but RAF is of very little interest to me and I cannot see it being viable in the long term. I suppose as long as the guy with deep pockets is good with it, it will go on. But, having influencers and washed up MMA guys wrestle is just not intriguing in the slightest. Watching pat Downey get whipped is always fun, but at this point it's just sad. Idk. Glad you guys all seem to enjoy it.

If they are trying to tap into the UFC audience, it might be viable. Grow it slowly and deliberately. Need to have a ranking for each weight with a champ and contenders (maybe they have it already).
The growth and popularity of women’s wrestling is making the whole sport more popular.

Ya maybe. I'll be glad to be wrong but I don't see it working out long term. The novelty wears off. I'm just excited for real international freestyle and the awesome domestic tournaments that lead up to it.

Not sure where Keck scored more than a pushout there. At no point was Dake exposed, and no takedown since he landed on top of Keck.

In any case, Dake has been hitting that chest wrap since God was a child. If you're gonna beat him, you need to prep for it.
