Not excited about, AJ, Glassier or the crowd. All three embarrassing. Some more than others but all embarrassing
No it's not. The entire clan is classless POS. Shows how desperate the Brands are.I wasn’t impressed hearing the home fans act that way toward both Ferraris. That’s just dumb.
He’s not up a weight. Gabe is our 174.Last year he was in highschool. Hes up a weight and won the hometown tourney. He wrestled a smart match.
Let him enjoy it
Agree on all fronts149, Ferrari in the wrong. He overreacted to Rathjen's push. Sore loser, but Rathjen a poor winner. Cut the crap.
197, Ferrari in the wrong. He did a hard push-off, Glazier reacted poorly, and Ferrari overreacted with a punch. The stall call by the ref with 15 sec left was a bad call. But the DQ was correct call. Sorry, Ironside. Go back and watch it again.
Booing the family was deserved. Dad raised a couple of immature a-holes; where do you think that comes from?
I personally hope they stay, but I won't be surprised if they leave, and I won't cry over it. Brands needs to do whatever he's gonna do, and quickly, like tonight.
said the 2nd callIt absolutely was the right call. The new rules clearly state the days of the “hold on and hold down” ride are over and that’s all he was doing.
He won big on that a few years ago. If he takes the mat again he will need to adjust his tactics because his old riding strategy isn’t going to fly anymore.
I typically enjoy reading your take, but this one isn't very well thought out.Ironside should have been put out to pasture years ago but this should be the final straw. Yeesh.
Actually he gave them an opportunity to prove themselves in an open tournament... and they certainly showed who they are.Yea this could not have gone much worse if I am being 100% honest. This was NOT what I was hoping to see. Not even sure TnT handled this correctly?
Not sure how you can blame TnT for the Caliendo / PK mess. I get that PK was here and TnT brought in Caliendo...but would they have done that if PK hadn't gotten himself into the gambling debacle? We'd all be pissed if TnT passed on Caliendo and the suspension ended up being a lot longer and we didn't have any sort of plan. PK is mostly responsible for that situation...and he could have solved the issue today by beating Caliendo...but he didn't do that either. I don't know...tough spotBrands may have put himself in a very tough situation now. They put A LOT in to the Ferraris for one kid Angelo and now it’s clearly backfiring on all cylinders. We’ve lost a wrestler due to it. Now we’ve more than likely alienated the one Ferrari we want because of the older douche. This honestly could set the recruiting train back. PK now second fiddle to Caliendo as he was recruited over. Honestly this is a nightmare scenario for the future. Idk. This team already had serious faults this year and now we got larger problems. What a nightmare. AJ can’t control himself and that’s sad. Was really wanting this pan out personally but not sure it does. Idk but Brands have to be thinking hard about why they risked soo much for it now.
Been telling you all for months and i got shit for it non stop!Jesus. H. Christ. A well known DB throws a punch at an Iowa wrestler but the fans are the classless ones. And you don’t think they should react to such boorish BS?
This was actually perfect. Rather this occur now, before he shows up on the team, and pulls this (or worse) in an Iowa singlet or on the roster.
i could see the vibe spiraling quickly. they need to cut bait with AJ. Anthony’s offense wasn’t that bad and he’s been on his good behavior. Give him one more chance as an olive branch to the youngest. AJ has overstated his welcome.You don't bring the Ferraris in and not carefully manage the situation. Who in the hell didn't know the potential for this. Blame whoever you want, I don't think TnT recover from this. I have an awful feeling about this team.
That’s funny. Five thousand people were wrong? And their reaction at a sporting event out of line? Alternate reality, much?Iowa fans were booing the Ferrari family?
Good grief!
We just lost them. They are leaving.
Yeah not disagreeing at all with your statement. Not sure I blame them for the PK mess fully as a lot of that was on PK but man it sure shows with the Ferrari debacle AND PK down to 165 after 175 nightmare we are fairly desperate to win. not sure PK was ever in agreement on the 174 matches and it clearly shows he may been forced tooNot sure how you can blame TnT for the Caliendo / PK mess. I get that PK was here and TnT brought in Caliendo...but would they have done that if PK hadn't gotten himself into the gambling debacle? We'd all be pissed if TnT passed on Caliendo and the suspension ended up being a lot longer and we didn't have any sort of plan.

This has to either be a troll or a cry for help.Don't give up on the kid yet. He is immature and needs molding. He and likely Anthony need TnT and the whole roster to help these kids grow up. They have been programmed to never lose bc that's the way his dad taught him. Hearing Angelo talk in interviews their collective attitude is 100%R on the old man. Ironside is vehemently defending AJ as I type this.
Glazier did absolutely nothing wrongLet's all calm down and see how this thing shakes out. These are enormous competitors and they're not going to roll over for the Ferraris. Whether it be Rathjen or Glazier. All of them were douches today, but it's as competitive as is possible. AJ giving the finger was inexcusable.
Would that be a “Soldier Salute” he’s doing?
We watched it and then rewatched it I don’t see how in the world he can say Glazier started it.can't wait to see, if video becomes available...i need a good laugh. Sounds like WWF type stuff.
Ironside: "Glazier 100% started it."
Agreed. Let AJ rotLet's all calm down and see how this thing shakes out. These are enormous competitors and they're not going to roll over for the Ferraris. Whether it be Rathjen or Glazier. All of them were douches today, but it's as competitive as is possible. AJ giving the finger was inexcusable.

the caliendo thing is brands doing his job well. brought in a younger, more talented wrestler. that’s how you get better.Not sure how you can blame TnT for the Caliendo / PK mess. I get that PK was here and TnT brought in Caliendo...but would they have done that if PK hadn't gotten himself into the gambling debacle? We'd all be pissed if TnT passed on Caliendo and the suspension ended up being a lot longer and we didn't have any sort of plan. PK is mostly responsible for that situation...and he could have solved the issue today by beating Caliendo...but he didn't do that either. I don't know...tough spot
BullcrapAhhhh did you even watch the whole match? Cuz it happened before then. Does it matter, no.
Absolutely give Rathjen credit for making it clear he is going to fight for the Varsity spot.Let's all calm down and see how this thing shakes out.

did he have anything to say about the 165 match? he made some pretty stupid comments about caliendo at the isu dual.That’s fair. My take is Mark was one of the best analysts in sports in his prime but over the last 5-10 years it’s clear he doesn’t follow the sport like he once did and his performance has suffered. He has always struggled to comprehend that not everyone has the talent he did and that’s gotten worse over the years, too.
Don’t give me that. I’ve been beating the no Ferrari drum from the start.
Changing the subject a bit: How well does everyone think AJ will react when he loses a match?
Sorry spoon was a general comment not directed at youThat’s fair.

one positive is this feels like the first time rathjen’s wrestled well in a long time. i had written him off.Absolutely give Rathjen credit for making it clear he is going to fight for the Varsity spot.
Don't forget Austin DeSanto, who appeared to be totally out of control prior to arriving in IC (and even for a short while after that). The problem may be that their are two Ferrari's on the team.Who is going to defend AJ Ferrari here tonight? Stand up and be recognized
Yes it is.I typically enjoy reading your take, but this one isn't very well thought out.
can't wait to see, if video becomes available...i need a good laugh. Sounds like WWF type stuff.
Ironside: "Glazier 100% started it."
Huh? He kept shoving his head down after the match and as he was coming to his feet.Glazier started it
Not sure why coaches didn’t have PK “bulking” up during the offseason just in case his gambling sentence allowed him to wrestle. Unless the plan all along is to wrestle Gabe at 174. Otherwise it just doesn’t make sense to me. The coaches get paid to coach.Yeah not disagreeing at all with your statement. Not sure I blame them for the PK mess fully as a lot of that was on PK but man it sure shows with the Ferrari debacle AND PK down to 165 after 175 nightmare we are fairly desperate to win. not sure PK was ever in agreement on the 174 matches and it clearly shows he may been forced too
Just imagine if Brands said “we like our guys” and said no to Caliendo? Then that loss would have been when it actually mattered.the caliendo thing is brands doing his job well. brought in a younger, more talented wrestler. that’s how you get better.
