USA wrestling should hire you. Their twitter leaves much to be desired. Also too bad Snyder went down early.

USAW could not pay me enough to do anything for them…

i was a card carrying member for a decade… bronze level coach… reffed for the over 5 years… and it turned super sour after otto turned down their offer to go live at the OTC when he was 17…

started a bit of a war that culminated in me mid match having one of the greco national team coaches by the elbow trying to drag him outside so we could settle this…

he quickly realized i was not kidding and he backed off… old man would probably have murdered me in the parking lot but i was mad enough to find out… quit reffing right then mid match and will never purchase another card from them or be involved in anyway…

we are mostly cool now, but, i still do not care for the scumbags that are in charge…

cardenas wins his repechage match and will going for bronze later…

I have issues with the SafeSport thing. I’m sure you heard about the saga of how one guy cheating on his wife blew up one of the best rooms for women ever assembled.

i know exactly who you are talking about…

a “friend” who had a daughter who was a world champ was one of several who had safe sport against said guy and USAW refused to even interview her about it because they just wanted it swept under the rug…

that was going on the exact same time i was fighting with them and former BBS foe and i bonded over our fights with USAW…

and that is just tip of the spear stuff that is not public knowledge…

scumbags with no honor or balls at the top of that org…

I know who you’re talking about. Nicest guy in the world but holy fuck never get on his bad side. I was around the RTC just watching at the time, and you could tell that something was up and it could just detonate at any minute. The girl involved is such an idiot too. The guy’s wife is really nice, I met her once or twice, her husband couldn’t care less about her. He seemed perfectly fine ignoring her. I think that guy is an idiot, he had the easiest job and managed to fuck it up for himself because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. It had a bad ripple effect too.

that club was one of the few that would support greco…

max was just about to go on board with them and then all that happened and it totally shut that club down…

i saw one of their singlets on the mat yesterday… surprised me abit as i had not thought about them in several years…

Great people but it all got messed up because of this. I’m surprised more people didn’t lose jobs honestly.

dude…

the brand new female head of safe sport left the org right about that time as well…

i heard rumors of why and saw the letter her lawyer sent to USAW…

a big name was very quietly dismissed and that went away as well…

the regular folk that work for them doing the real jobs i have absolutely no issue with at all…

the leadership total scumbags…

Completely agree. There’s a youth coach who was protected for some inexplicable reason and passed away a few years ago. I got into it with someone because I said I wasn’t sad he was gone. Of course that person is a piece of work too.

Most of the time when that kind of thing happens they are dealt with.

anyway…

i whiffed on snyder having a repechage match with this stupid work BS getting i nthe way, but, he won and will wrestle for bronze…

Why’d we send 3 at 125 kg anyway? I don’t like our chances with any of them at worlds. I feel like Hendrickson beating Steveson was like one in a million and would never happen again.

we sent way more to this tourney than we have ever sent previous…

i know there is a new guy who has recently taken an intyerest in funding wrestling, so, i feel like they may be responsible for us going more places and sending more guys specifically on the greco side…

i think it is the owner of the milwaukee bucks?

i know max met him and hung out a bit last year…

Interesting. I know there’s been some heavy hitters but none seem to stick really. Or they’ll just come out to solve problems, like when my alma mater cut wrestling for about a week.
