Had a lot of fun at the TI Duals this weekend. This is the culminating event of the Apex Wrestling year and I got to corner these kids that I have watched grow up (most from as far back as youth wrestling) compete. They wrestled hard and were true competitors.
@AndyHrovat@MrPatMineo Lower budget D1 kids have the ncaa tourney to prove themselves. There’s a good 125lber out there that was discarded that a lot of big schools would like rn. Now he’s a 2x AA. IMO The restriction based on budgets idea runs counter to what wrestling has always been about.
@magicman_psu@YianniD_LGR We neeed more people to wrestle folkstyle like you did. I’ve seen my share of boring freestyle matches too. 3 pt takedown was exposed as a mistake. Get a take and run was the theme of the tourney in too many matches. The extra stall call is baked into the strategy now.
