Moderators neil Posted September 2, 2025 Moderators Posted September 2, 2025 CJI2 was fucking awful. Horrible ruleset leading to the first day being nothing but incredibly boring draws, shockingly unfunny interview segments, and then that joke of a match. Oh and then it wrapped up with the team that won the whole thing winning on a technicality and discovering the rules meant both teams won. Total mess. Quote

theringmaster Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 Did anyone catch real American Freestyle wrestling the weekend? I was very sceptic but won't lie i really enjoyed it! I'm not sure if it will sustain interest on a week to week show but monthly/bi-monthly shows could definitely be of great interest. Quote

The ring looked smart and not gimmicky, the crowd were into it and the commentary was a mixture of pro wrestling and mma. When you consider how many collegiate wrestlers they are in America, this could really take off since not all of them fancy getting punched and kicked in the face in mma and watching this they will fancy a slice of it.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 29 Author Paid Members Posted March 29 The Arman Tsarukyan side quests continue: He's now 7-0-1 in grappling/submission based matches in the last 10 months, oh, and chuck a UFC win in there. Arman out there not giving one single fuck. I love the bloke. Quote
NeverYield Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I was going to ask on here does anyone follow any folkstyle/freestyle wreslting, as I do and I enjoy it. If anyone was follwing the NCAA's recently and saw the debacle between AJ Ferrari and Yonger Bastida where Bastida wrapped him up like a christmas present and then Ferrari came out and accused Bastida of being on HGH, and then an apology was issued a few days later and everyone in Bastidas camp was furious, Bastida accepted the apology and then bascially said why don't we get it on again on RAF Wrestling. I hope RAF does put the match on because it would definitely sell, Ferrari brings a lot of eyes to collegiate wrestling and Bastida is a machine. Good to see Kyle Snyder win his match last night, intense guy, always like watching him in the weight room. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 31 Author Paid Members Posted March 31 I'd like to watch some RAF stuff but it's not shown live or streaming over here. There probably is a way to watch but I aint found one, I do enjoy following the highlights though. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted April 1 Paid Members Posted April 1 (edited) Tsarukyan’s next victim confirmed. It’s ol’ Arse Chin himself. Does Tsarukyan even sleep these days? He’s wrestling seemingly every hour on the hour. I love that he’s found a way to stay active and keep his name out there though. Edited April 1 by wandshogun09 Quote
NeverYield Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Ah I saw this earlier and thought it may be some April fool's joke, but seemingly not haha. Dreadful matchmaking imo, Faber is about to get ragdolled. Quote
