Real American Freestyle

[Corby2]

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.

They probably would've said Dake exposed and gave 4 to keck . I just watched it a few more times. Dake never stops Keck and used kecks momentum to take him through. They typically reward the offensive wrestler in those situations. RAF needs Sammy Julian as a review official. Have Izzy , Willie and Lance palmer with a button in front of them and if 2 of the 3 hit the button a buzzer sounds in the refs ear and Sammy Julian reviews the sequence. If RAF is gonna stay around you need reviews. Freestyle has 3 refs because it can be seen
differently.

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.

It doesn’t light my fire either. I am not paying for a subscription to Fox Nation anytime soon. I am only speculating on how they could (possibly) make it viable.

Endorsed.

Endorsed.

Zahid and Hamiti would fun as well. Bo definitely has the hey what about me approach lately

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.

Throw in mud wrestling and it will really take off lol

I enjoyed most of the matches, but could do without the tarted up, trampy looking broads holding up cards between rounds, The worst part of the RAF6 was the planned riot. Repeating the match in RAF7 was, in my opinion, a very low class move. I'm sure they did it the money and to hype viewership. To me it felt not only very tacky, but likely fixed. Not the way I would like to see wrestling promoted.

I’m not a fan of the mma/retired guys/influencer matches but if it allows for matches like Dake vs Keck and Snyder vs Taz I’ll take it. Those are high level matchups we don’t get to see often enough. Suffering through the other matches is worth it to me to see some truly elite guys get after it

I sadly couldn't help reading the chat on the side during the Youtube stream. Every few seconds "when is Arman?" (Plus "these women are boring" - like Kennedy Blades could be boring....). I want real wrestling, not fake drama but it might be an unfortunate financial reality to do matches like that.

Hidley, TF's PD III. 2nd TF loss for PD III.

Isn't PD-III's 1 hour and 15 minutes of infamy almost up yet?

I love the fact that this is allowing some matches that would have taken place once a year (or every other year) and I may be biased but the MMA guys wrestling is not a bad thing and highlights and promotes wrestling to a bigger audience... I personally would like to see teams... Like... USA, Russia, Canada, Iran, Japan, etc. I feel like that would add to the attraction!

Even though he's getting pounded on, at least he's putting it on the line... Love him or hate him he's wrestling.


Did they use a middle school pic for Zahid???
This one is interesting...
