I don’t think his WWE contract allows him to.I obviously don’t follow this Olympic wrestling closely…. why doesn’t Steveson wrestle?
They would have to gain citizenship. Yonger just got his green card which is a step in the process.Anyone know what the Cuban’s status is in terms of competing for USA at Worlds/Olympics? Just watching Alan Vera who is also from Cuba. Yonger and Ech would be in the mix to make team USA for sure.
Ech is an American citizensThey would have to gain citizenship. Yonger just got his green card which is a step in the process.
Ech very well could be , I don’t know , but it was stated earlier that Yonger just received his green card and that made him eligible for NILEch is an American citizens
. They both are
And Zahid got hosedBrooks is just so incredibly solid. His hand fight and hips are incredible. Never seen anyone stuff Taylor’s shots like this. Crazy, but Brooks was clearly the better wrestler today.
Brooks makes Olympics over Taylor.
Gotcha. Yeah ech told me he wasEch very well could be , I don’t know , but it was stated earlier that Yonger just received his green card and that made him eligible for NIL
Clearly? He should’ve lost that match. Zahid might have also beat DavidBrooks gave up a dumb challenge point to Zahid. Was a pretty easy 4 point call. Think he is clearly the USA’s best 86kg dude right now.
Was thinking about this. I think this the negative side to having all these to guys at NLWC. Taking nothing away from Brooks as he was clearly better yesterday, but I have to think DT has a better shot on the world stage.I don’t think it did Taylor any good to train with Brooks everyday. Brooks controlled Taylor. Surprised me
Yeah, clearly. Your opinion he should have lost. He didn’t. If we’re playing what ifs, take away his bad challenge point & the singlet grab & what’s the score? He’s a winner.Clearly? He should’ve lost that match. Zahid might have also beat David
I don’t know man, Brooks is incredible and only getting better.Was thinking about this. I think this the negative side to having all these to guys at NLWC. Taking nothing away from Brooks as he was clearly better yesterday, but I have to think DT has a better shot on the world stage.
I’m not sure they train that much. Maybe 4-5 years ago they did.Was thinking about this. I think this the negative side to having all these to guys at NLWC. Taking nothing away from Brooks as he was clearly better yesterday, but I have to think DT has a better shot on the world stage.
Brooks may not want the weight cut after this year. Could see him going up after this cycle….he appears to have the frame to continue putting on good wt.I’m not sure they train that much. Maybe 4-5 years ago they did.
Brooks is just that big of a talent, and always has been. It’s his weight now for the next 8 years if he wants it to be. Yazdani will be a challenge for sure, but I think that is the only guy that can beat him internationally.
That’s true. And with 92 kg, he could transition up there for a year or 2 before going 97.Brooks may not want the weight cut after this year. Could see him going up after this cycle….he appears to have the frame to continue putting on good wt.
Don't disagree, but the roll DT has been on the last 3 years or so was impressive. Not that Flo is the end all, but they had him ranked #1 P4P in the world. Make no mistake, this was a huge upset and there is a strong possibility that familiarity played a role.I’m not sure they train that much. Maybe 4-5 years ago they did.
