  • The more the merrier

  • This place is in dire need of more polls (@mcpat can help with that)

  • Get off my lawn

  • Most are welcome but some of the shadier characters should be put on double secret probation

  • I like key lime pie

In all the years it's only happened this year actually. And Oklahoma st and Penn st are the rivals of Iowa so you can see how that goes. Been involved with wrestling over 30 years and just recently I was labeled an Iowa fan it's interesting. I could make a new screen name and post the same stuff I do now and nobody would say a word .
Ask my guy JTS who the problem is 😂

Big, big fan of key lime pie. And carrot cake. Oh, strawberry shortcake, too. And whoopie pies. Whacky cake with peanut butter icing.

As far as this board change, KYPSW will only require me to go to one board, so I've got no issue with it. Although, I can see it taking some getting used to, probably mostly from those being invaded, not as much for the invaders.

I really do hope the content from BWI is preserved.

I am a mod. How's that for transparency?! Now, just quit your fck'n whining and start talking wrestling or I will time out your cranky ***!
Nice to meet you mod . At least now I know who runs these parts.

As far as wrestling goes what RTC do you people think Beau ends up at ?
I expect an announcement on that soon

Hoping Penn or Lehigh. Sad to see him go though. Hopefully it really is just the road of life that is taking him there and not room troubles.

I don't believe it will be either of those
Bummer. I dont know rtc rosters to well so my guesses are 100% uneducated.

I dont know where a good fit for him would be unless he goes to Ohio to train with Mendez and move up in weight. I kid, kinda.

He could go to still water, I dont know who they have, but it's a hike and I dont know if that is in the cards or not but could make sense.

I am hoping he goes to one that can help him find his offense. But, not having found it at the premier RTC in the nation, I am not sure that the RTC is the problem.

I think he has the offense but sometimes expectations keep guys from being able to pull the trigger. And once you start winning with defense it's easy to rely on it.

Much appreciated.

Who are his training partners there?

Rivera is a good one, that is all that is listed that I know.

Sebastian Rivera is there. They also do a good job of bringing in foreign guys. I was in the room a few years ago and they had a few guys from old Russian countries (one of the stans) training there who live in NYC now

I will stick to wrestling and occasionally drop some news. I don't care who likes me and who doesn't it won't stop me from posting about wrestling.

And I have been banned once for saying someone at NLWC got in trouble and it won't be good. The mods ban me for that 🤷. Sorry the mods are soft. No mods ever reached out and warned me of my posts or reached out saying I was banned .
I got banned from the Iowa board without explanation for posting this picture to a thread where they were accusing PSU of cheating (you know like 99% of the threads over there)

That's ridiculous and whoever the mod was should be ashamed

Nice! I got a ban for posting this picture after a Purdue/Iowa football game. Mike Z did reinstate me a few months later.

Being banned from the Iowa board is somewhere between doing you a favor and giving you a badge of honor.

Probably more of a favor though.
