vegas entries definitely heated up today…

couple of points of interest…

Raney bros are only doing senior greco… 60kg and 63kg…

67kg is an absolute ghost town… everyone has scattered… 4 entries…

Bey is sticking with 82kg…

jax is sticking with seniors only at staying at 61kg… bouzakis went back up to 61kg

bassett signed up for both U20 and Seniors at 65kg… they have staggered start days, so, my guess is if he is somehow on the front side of seniors he will scrap U20 and if he is on the backside he will then scrap seniors and focus only on U20…

miller same plan at 70kg…

sinclair is signed up at 92kg seniors and 86kg U20…

Maybe he’ll place 8th next year and complete the slide.

It’s a race to the bottom between him and Downey.

i see PDIII as a lovable fuk up… just a bit too wild for this day and age… he is basically like all of my absolute favorite people that i used to run around with getting into shenanigans…

I don’t see anything redeeming about him. Or his family.

i get why someone would feel that way… i just do not… never met the kid, but, some of the stories i have heard of his younger days are pretty wild…

his dad or uncle (can not remember which) used to post on the matdotcom when it was still around… total jackass…

but, there are still people who post on the forum that came out of the matdotcom who think i am a total jackass and i am a sweet heart of a guy!!!

Yeah but Downey sexually assaulted women, ripped off kids, threatened one of the women’s National team members on Twitter, either did or was trying to slide into the DM of a teenager, no showed seminars he was paid for, made an absolute jackass of himself in Bellator, and has never once taken responsibility, just blaming other people for all the bad things that happened to him.

For all that’s said about the guy, he can freaking wrestle when he shows up.

I didn’t know any of this. If true, he’s an epic scumbag.

PDIII was never charged with any sexual assault…

he said some crazy stuff on twitter and people lost their damn minds and all sorts of shit was said and made up…

He definitely did something to get himself kicked out of Iowa State. And Nebraska. And 2 different RTCs.

And Iowa…

He was a fuk up as a kid… on all sorts of party drugs and was living the life…

Had serious assault charges from high school from physical altercations with other kids trying to act like they were true thugs…

He isn’t a saint by any means…

But the bullshit from the twitter war with hildebrandt was at the height of woke bullshit in this country and a ton of shit was flat made up online…

If he had been a part of what so many wanted to claim his USAW license would have never been reinstated…

I thought he threatened to sue USA Wrestling and that was why they reinstated him. Also the stuff with Hildebrandt was a lot worse than Twitter. There’s a reason they told him not to come back to the RTC he was at.
