(RAF) Real American Freestyle Thread

i listened to Dennis Hall on the Full Tilt pod today…

he is one of the few US Greco legends that i have never met…

the meatheads went and trained with him for a few days last year… certified good dude…

i was inspired to go and rewatch one the absolute legendary matches in US wrestling history… 3rd match of the series to make the 2004 Olympic team and represent your country…

17 minutes of constant engagement and still ridiculous to watch considering what was at stake and the level of competitors…

one of the anonymous forum nerds asked for a clip, here it is…

I remember that like yesterday. I was up a weight or two from them, and I remember nobody knew that Hall would go to 55. I think part of it was that Gruenwald had his number finally and had beaten him more than not in the few years before. That rivalry went all the way back to like junior high too.

dude…

they were both Olympic silver medalists…

training partners…

friends…

making one last stand to represent their country in the biggest stage on this planet…

anonymous forum nerds could take a lesson…

Very strange matchup - they seem to be going backwards in terms of match making with Arman .. what happened to the Colby matchup!!!? I’ve heard of a clause in RAF contracts where ufc fighters cannot wrestle another active UFC fighter so that may be why they aren’t getting it .. that said, there are better matchups than Muggzy

they can’t put him against any real wrestler…

Colby is way too big for him…

the only thing is ride the gimmick train until everyone is just over it…

feels like it is getting there pretty quick…
