They are too busy debating the definition of a "room guy" to follow actual wrestling...
Cael uses a World Tournament as an excuse to duck National Duals. We’re going to be leveling the playing field with Nebraska, Okie St, OSU while your boys are wrestling World medalist and guys from Japan, Iran. Don’t even talk about actual wrestling!

I’m upset that I invested 10 seconds of my life reading your drivel. I’ll never get it back so I’m spending another 10 seconds to tell you your full of crap!

They criticize it for a good reason. CA is San Diego and NoCal with a trash dump in the middle. I know how it feels - I live in NY and it’s a trash dump of a city (well, a few cities) and a really cool rest-of-the-state. Both seem to think they need to tax us into insolvency. Any, USA… USA… USA!
LA is not in the middle of California bud.
