DT and Starocci/Brooks beef

Cool diagnosis from online activity without examining him. I describe him as a four time champ, something you're not very familiar with. Maybe an impulsive kid, emotional, maybe prone to A hole behavior without thinking. However his teammates seem to like and respect him so I doubt you're very accurate on your assessment.
Carter 100% embraces being a heel that people love to hate. Nobody is more upset by that than PSU fans for some reason.

Tbf, we did the same thing with Gilman.

So when talking about the guys character flaws you respond with "But he is a 4 time champ"

His teammates like him though, so that's cool.

u r punk just like him
 
Good to see the deflect, deny, rationalize skill set is in mid season form. Is it taught in elementary school out east or is it just passed down generation to generation?
 
IMO, this is the beginning of the decline, with fan boys making excuses for hard feelings at PSU on other team's websites. Sooner or later the clash of egos was going to catch up to them. It will get worse.
That is some serious clinging to a non-existant rope. But that's OK. It gives you hope which causes those 100 point losses to have extra ouch.

Apparently the love spreads to other teams’ guys as well!

an offseason tradition unlike any other, iowa getting “turned in” for tampering. first it was woods, then truax, and now it seems we just tamper with everyone. old willie probably learned his lesson when he got used by other coaches to spread that hogwash a couple years ago but pat is happy to do their bidding.
 
The problem with Carter is that he has no filter. He is also extremely loyal to his crew. Aaron is central to that crew.
Now DT gave the politically correct response to the question by FLO. But deep down I think Carter knows that DT will be quietly rooting for Yazdani if he meets Aaron. They have known and respected each other for a long time, and consider each other friends. And there is no way DT would ever admit that until the day he dies. It would be PR suicide. But Carter believes what Carter believes and he'll chirp about it.
Lol as he left his team at Big tens on Saturday to go home crying. Seems loyal as hell.

EDIT: I see this point was made previously.

Penn State fans don't understand that bragging and rubbing it in is mean.

It hurts. It's bullying. Stop it.
 
A guy whonis pretty connected to the wrestling community and not a PSU fan has said that DT simply isn't very likeable and has a certain arrogance to him. Obviously, Carter does as well...as do many others.

I was surprised to hear it as I'd never heard it before. Again, the guy isn't a PSU fan. TIFWIW

The same can be said for many (not all) of your high achiever types. Gable, Cael, Brands, starrroci, Dake, Taylor, all can be perceived as a little arrogant or driven. Time may mellow some of them out like Gable.

Yeah, not to many people whine that great are also loved. Lee wasn't always the most popular with others during his years in College. I of course made that up so my point sticks.

Could be he doesn't really understand the term.

I doubt he’s the brightest . Cocky? Impulsive? Immature? All those can fit someone like Carter Starroci. A personality disorder is a little bit much to put out there just because you don’t like a guy.

Honestly, most wrestlers are great guys.

I have met DT and his parents. He is a great guy, but, there definitely is some arrogance there. It's possible that attitude is what made him so great. I don't think he expected to lose a match in college. I think he's shocked he lost to Brooks

I've met Carter as well. He is a guy who believes he performs best with a chip on his shoulder. While, I don't love his style on social media, in the two times I've communicated with him, he couldn't have been more respectful or likeable.

Kyle Dake might have been my favorite to meet and talk to. He talked to me like we had known each other for years, and it was a cool experience. He has a way of speaking with confidence in himself, while being 100% respectful of others.

Well that’s good to know…wouldn’t have figured it.
