Dlagnev out for worlds

[so cal hawkfan]

I read that World Team Member Tervel Dlagnev is out for the World Championships with an undisclosed injury. Zach Rey will be taking his place. I for one love Tervel's style and thought he was definitely a favorite to be on the medal stand. He has a ton of International experience and as far as Heavyweights go, he's pretty exciting to watch. Rey on the other hand is an absolute snooze fest. His matches at the World Cup were horrible. He's got good takedown defense and he's a big heavy, but his offense is so limited that I find it highly unlikely that he ends up on the stand. I think this world team is as good as any we have fielded in recent memory and losing Dlagnev certainly hurts our Team title chances.

Bummer.

What a bummer. I hope he makes a speedy recovery and gets a shot in RIO.

Total bummer. Rey's been wrestling solid lately, so a good backup option.

Bummer.

x2, that has to suck to work so hard to make a national team and then miss the big event due to injury. Get well soon...and next man in.

We may not love his style-- But Rey is there representing the USA-- I will be there rooting for him!
