Dan Dennis: Wild Man episode 1

[Cal98]

What exactly was the quote in question? I'm interested in the exact quote and not anyone's interpretation.

 

[grappler6]

"I am convinced that is one of the reasons why when you call injury time you get choice now. I call it the Minnesota Rule."

This is the exact quote, he talks about the situation a little more prior to that. He starts around the 17:30 mark in the video.

Does anyone have examples of Minnesota lung timeouts? I always associated Minnesota with good conditioning. Kind of like an Iowa light with JRob up there. Their guys were typically grinders.

So we are disagreeing as far as what "that" is referring to in Tom's statement. I understood it to be the Ness match, you understood it to be MN's apparent long lineage of false injuries(Ness match included). Both could be correct, IDK.

What "fake injury timeouts" occurred for Minnesota after the Ness finals match and prior to the rule change? I would imagine there must be plenty for you to refute my statement of a rule change occuring 4 years later. Without that, I can't help but laugh when this rule is associated to MN by Tom.

Iowa wrestling fans are Iowa fans. They are not fans of wrestling.

I am an Iowa wrestling fan, and a huge fan of wrestling.

I'm not a fan of wrestling where you fake an injury to get a restart because you don't like the position ur in and times running out. But that might just be me.

By fans of "wrestling," does this mean we should have a second team to root for just in case our primary one sucks for a season? Seriously though, if this turns out bad for Minne, I, and I think I speak for a lot of Iowa fans (and PSU fans who post), am still ready to start that GoFundMe page for Jammenz to get his Cornhusker gear up and ready for next season...least we can do for the #1 P4P troll

Unless you're implying jammenz is fat, I wouldn't give him the #1 P4P troll crown. A contender for sure, but Champ? Meh.

You're the exception that proves the rule. It's a well-known Iowa trademark.

boo hoo

Which is why they would never consider holding the Olympic trials in Iowa. We hate any wrestling that doesn't revolve around Hawkeyes.

Funny how we have multiple threads and lots of discussion on the World Cup here and over on your board Iowan@heart is the only one posting on the topic.

It is actually a trademark of any well promoted and successful franchise for a large number of their fans to care just about their team. If more teams could get more fringe wrestling fans to start caring at the very least about their local team we would be a lot healthier as a sport.

You mean if I am an Iowa fan I am not supposed to comprehend or appreciate the way Gwiz moves for a big man or how Snyder can counter that? The explosiveness of Cox or Dake is only a mystery to me? Zain and Streebler are tough as nails and hard to score on but that should be a well kept secret? AND Jordan is only a basketball player who dabbled in baseball as no one ever wrestled for the Hawks with that name so how could I ever fathom the accomplishments of the kid from Nebby?
Crap I have been going about this thing all wrong lately, thanks for setting me straight my Goofer friend....I promise to make the necessary adjustments.
