[McScoreley]

Who is this new signee for Cowboy Wrestling Club David Taylor? Haven't seen him wrestle a domestic tournament to my memory. What a plain name.

He seems pretty good though.

 

[Pennstate1985]

LOL, PD3 (remember him?) gassed out. Was leading 6-2 in the 2nd and lost by tech 30 seconds later to Max Hale. He needs to go into sanitation where he gets a lunger every minute or so.

He seems pretty good though.

OSU had another plain name…actually the most common name in the history of names, John Smith.

He turned out to be the greatest ever.

Hopefully this new plain name fills those shoes on the mat and grows bigger ones in the corner.

 

[chasepollard]

Who was in DTs corner?

 

[Pennstate1985]

Who was in DTs corner?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Dake but maybe Dake's contract with NLWC disallows it.

 

[DPJ]

Who was in DTs corner?

Looked like Gilman and Kennedy

I would bet it does.

True story. I had a customer named Jim Smith and he would go to a Jim Smith convention. Everyone name was Jim Smith and they all wore name tags and would just meet and talk about their lives etc. He said it was a blast.

Can you imaging if John Smith went to one of those (for John Smiths) and some other John Smith asked what he did. That would be mind blowing!!

Slumlord Bob is the locker room attendant unfortunately. He is providing bags of money with the towels.

I'll remember this when we dual, unless DT continues to quack loudly.

I thought we was friends lol. 🤣

I wish I didn't hate Flow so much that I could justify paying for their under produced garbage.

One year of Flo costs less than a plane ticket to a single wrestling event. That’s how I justify it. For better or worse they just have the best international coverage.

There’s discounted signups links as well I paid $15 for the month, or you can pay $100 for the year.
