Yes. He was already a villian with his arrogance prior to the Olympics. The gold medal made him an American hero but the farewell "all about me" world tour soured people like me up. Then, the waffling and comeback teasing after leaving his shoes on the mat had everyone saying just go away Gable
Love the show. You are absolutely right about the switching to shorts and.a rashgaurd for the boys but the girls should remain in singlets for the same reason we all watch womens volleyball. The other thing that needs to happen sport wide is mat side weigh ins for every match. Let's get rid of the dehydration weight cuts the head injuries are getting out of hand and it's a barrier to entry
DUDE ur a perv for saying that about women’s uniforms! I hope you’re never watching my daughter at a wrestling or volleyball meet. Get ur head out of the gutter…seriously!
You guys are underestimating the unbelievable power, speed and athleticism of NFL linemen, both sides of the ball. The NFL is FULL of Gable’s, except bigger and stronger, and most of them are faster. He MIGHT be quicker than some, but overall, they all eat him alive and laugh while doing it.
Gable would probably be a guard if he makes it. Depending on size he could he a situational pass rusher but I think hes too small there. He doesnt need a good 40 time to be a guard.
The kids that don't want to wrestle because of singlets, wont wrestle with 2 piece, they just wont wrestle period nor should we taint the sport for those kids. Those kids also don't want to play dodge ball. Trust
So true I don't want to hear twerk music while I watch wrestling. That's good for the club not good for wrestling. Iran has the best crowd cheers they love their wrestlers.
Gable and Micha Parsons in the same sentence? I get where you were going with it, but I would wager my house Gable would be amongst the slowest Linebackers in the NFL if not the slowest. He had ZERO chance at LB, full stop. Maybe a team commits couple of years to him and after another 30lbs he might be my most likely an offensive Guard. I would guess his chances are less than 10%. The NFL is the elite of the elite, each with 10-15 years of competition behind them. If Gable shows unique potential, he would be a multi year project for sure just to find out.
Finally someone said it. Shorts and shirts look way better then the singlet and look way better. I say this because I love wrestling and want to see it succeed not to hate on the singlet.
@CLAW_Wrestling I love how passionate you guys are about really growing the sport. Wrestling is such a bad ass sport not only for losing weight but for self-defense. Their are literally hundreds of stories where Wrestling saved a personal life from a mugger,attacker, or rapists. Wrestling saves lives "LITERALLY". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TJvMLcf4Dfk.htmlsi=_9Ow0fVY6TXDNANt
Great episode! You guys always bring the energy. No need to scale it back 25% Zach. If people dont like it they can go watch the Flo watch parties…BORING! 🤢🤮
The singlet is functionally better & doesn't twist up on the wrestler. There's no extra fabric in the way. I say keep the singlets. Im sure new female viewers don't mind them. Lets be honest here. As much as people like to pretend otherwise sex sells. Women like tight baseball & football pants & less men would watch womens softball & volleyball if they played in sweatpants and sweatshirts. 🤷🏻♂️
The current anticipated lineups for PSU and Okla State this year, in a dual meet, Okie State wins 3 matches IMO. When you watch some of the first BEG Podcasts, Zach was refined and wasn’t screaming all the time like a Tourette patient….I don’t get how this attracts new watchers consistently. CONSTANTLY NOW, it’s….this team or that team can beat Penn State NOW. OR, AJ is gonna beat Brooks/Starocci….Or Gable is going to beat the world….And it gets old. Wayne, You shouldn’t NEVER use Gable and Girlfriend in the same sentence. EVERYONE, ask urself if you would have AJ or Gable babysit your kids. Due to an antiquated law in Minnesota, a person consuming alcohol couldn’t give a statement during a crime. Gable would be in prison had the assault happened anywhere but Minnesota. His case helped change the law in Minnesota. ITS “MIKE AH” not “MEEK AH” Parsons….Out of Harrisburg Pa….40 mins from where u guys live and you don’t know his name. 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Does ANYONE think Iowa is in the “BIG THREE” this year as far as where they finish at Nationals? Where did they finish last year? I’m waiting. Wayne, if you consider wrestling ANYONE, please have a medic team, a defibrillator, and a cardiologist on standby.
My take is that it’s Hokey from the standpoint you can knock a pylon down to score a point….I mean, how many points do u get for putting a ball through the clowns mouth? Paying wrestlers to wrestle, I think leads to “Why would anyone bet on this” Too much seems either scripted or the best they could come up with after 2 years is scoring via a pylon tip over. Lastly, Eric Bruegel was 3 years behind me in school, and he was the most arrogant pompous person you may have ever had the misfortune of meeting. And he wasn’t someone that would ever change. With that said, I think it’s doomed from the get go. I’ve easily been to 300 dual meets in my life, and there are people at these dual meets after years and years don’t understand NCAA folkstyle scoring. How in the world will they ever follow this.
I understand the skepticism about CLAW however I would challenge you to give it a chance! It WILL be different from our typical expectations of wrestling but has typical worked for any professional wrestling league up to this point? Give it a chance and if it doesn’t succeed adjust and try again!
