Soldier Salute Session #4

THE

MATCH

DIDN’T

HAVE

TO

HAPPEN.

COACHES

HAVE

JOBS.

THIS

WAS

HANDLED

POORLY

BY

OUR

COACHES.
Respectfully disagree, totally disagree. It is a COMPETITION, not an exhibition. Competitors compete, provided they are healthy. This crap of competitors ducking and dodging others in D1 wrestling needs to stop. I salute both wrestlers for tying up their laces and locking horns.

Because I suspected that there would be a spate of "strategic" forfeits tonight, I made no effort to attend in person. Call me what you will but I am not going to go out of my way to attend a "forfeit fest", no matter the explanations provided, etc.

If I had any idea that there would be actual legit wrestling tonight, I would have made the trip over to the arena. Now I am mad at myself that I didn't...but I am glad that our COMPETITORS competed and cannot for the life of me understand the thinking that would criticize this action.

Fair enough. I’ll see myself out of this. Got a rib roast to prep. Go Hawks.
 
Spencer to Brands "You wanted this...you wanted this."


My opinion, Spencer felt he got enough work in for the weekend and was ready to shut it down. Tom had other ideas and pressured Spencer into wrestling the match.

Drake was just collateral damage...
He wanted this is what he said. That’s my teammate.

If you’re gonna troll at least do it accurately.
 
Can someone give results to date.. thanks

Really? This might be the dumbest take I’ve read. How about reality. These guys wrestled, something got heated and it’s done now. I bet they are laughing right now at us morans discussing it and Drake is telling his mom to keep off Facebook.
