Sorry to hear this. Hope he can rebound to chase his freestyle dreams. Regardless, the young man can be proud of one Heck of a career. Not the finish he wanted, but a great career nonetheless.
Spencer Lee will medically forfeit from the wrestle back round
- Thread starter redbirdhawk
- Start date
Because she broke her glasses? Have you ever competed at a high level ever? Not like she went full judo and slammed someone. We don’t know what happened or why. Spencer has always been a class act and always put his teammates first, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Shit stains like you are irrelevant and will never be remembered.
Apologies…. Hard to bite my tongue when people arrogantly spew such nonsense. Signing off. Go Hawks.
Having two ACLS and a separate meniscus operation on the same knee, I can assure you it's not the same. I'm not an athlete so I can't even imagine what it's like to compete on that level with those injuries. Mad props to him for all he's accomplished.
But no balls, like all the other trolls.
I’m so sure that Fix won’t beat RBY tonight that I’ll bet any odds you’d like on it.
Would you fing morons shut up until we get the real story? You don't know what injury he has, if any. Nor do I.
Stop calling him a quitter and bs until you know the story.
WTF is wrong with you people?
You’re gonna regret that when Fix parachutes from the rafters with a steel chair at the start of the third period
Hahaha! That’s rich….
He’s showing he’s a fuclwad on here.
don’t spew he’s not on the building. You created a lot of hatred on here when you ran to the keyboard to type he’s not in Oklahoma. Like you want engagement from people.
One thing I know about Spencer Lee is he's not a quitter and he's a very high character person.
110% should’ve kept it to myself.
Ok. I can appreciate this response. Virtual handshake
Sure. But why could he wrestle last night and not this morning? That's what everyone is getting at. Did something change in the last 16 hours other than the fact that he lost? Did his health change during that time? If so, let's hear it Mr. In-The-Know. If not, and the loss is all that changed, then the 'excuses are for wusses' thing loses a ton of credibility if you only believe that when you're winning.
Spencer is amazing to watch. He is one of the GOATs. But if he could've wrestled today, he should have wrestled today. And he wrestled last night, so...
Or he's just trying to share information on a breaking story and the source was wrong. Like happens all the time with breaking news.
Last sentence destroys any argument you’re trying to make
Seriously you question why did someone wrestle in the championship bracket injured but not in the consolation side injured? What a idiotic question.
If true, what's the message? Only compete and push through things when you're winning?
Just because he could have wrestled today doesn't mean he should have either.
The firestorm that's going on and you show up and drop that comment?
You truly are an insufferable bitch tit.
I have no clue about the specifics of the decision. I’m very confident that if he could’ve gone he would’ve. I’d bet good money it was a trainer or coaches decision. Not to mention I think Spencer has sacrificed his body more than enough to not take an ounce of criticism in this regard.
I don't find it idiotic at all. You suggesting that you should only persevere through adversities when you have a chance to get the big reward?
Man, you’re truly being an idiot. If you’re hurt and have bigger goals, there is no sense risking further injury for third place.
Spencer has sacrificed A LOT for the University of Iowa. To question his commitment to this team is so f’n stupid.
did it occur to your beetle brain that the firestorm was exacerbated by Gobblin's fake news?
yeah, but i'm the problem here. lol
Agree to disagree I guess, but I think coming back for third is a huge deal. If you can't get first, get the next best thing. Or is that just coach-speak BS?
I still think Spencer is legendary status for what he's accomplished.
However, he was able to wrestle last night. Why not today? If he sustained a new injury in the Ramos match or had some sort of new health crisis since that match, then I fully understand not wrestling. Otherwise, if you're good to go on the front side, you should be good to go on the back side. Don't treat coming back for third place like it isn't important.
What are we saying? Excuses are for wusses, but only in the championship bracket? Excuses are for wusses, but I don't want to take any risks now that I lost?
Like I said, agree to disagree I guess.
I sure hope that the reports of Spencer having no injury and has left town are wrong. Wes Hand reported that today.
That’s the thing though, Spencer should do what’s best for him and his health. As much as it sucks that he lost and isn’t wrestling today, he shouldn’t be worried about “the message” it sends to anyone. Only Spencer and a few others know what’s going on and if he doesn’t think he should wrestle today, we need to respect that and move on. He’s earned that. It’s amazing how young fans can understand that and appreciate everything he did for Iowa but grown men can’t.
Why? He’s injured and has absolutely nothing to prove. Lots of macho BS.
I'm sorry it ended this way. I enjoyed watching him wrestle.
There are guys like Delgado, Heil, Chris Perry, Chris "Stallalonga" Villalonga, and others that I simply couldn't stand to watch wrestle, personality or whatever aside. I always liked watching Lee wrestle since he was a freshman here in PA. At the end of the day, this is still a spectator sport, and Lee was fun to watch.

Now this is the response I think you should have lead with instead of basically coming out and saying I know but i'm not going to tell you because i'm better than you. I'm sure that isn't the way you meant it but it does come arcoss like that. I would always support the answer that Spencer or Tom will explain the situation in due time if they so choose. That is exactly who should release any information medical or personal. I'm not entitled to know nor is anyone else unless the effected party wants to share. So to everyone that is pissed because Undercover or Gobblin choose not to share something they know need to just move on. Yes maybe they could share known info., but don't fell comfortable with saying anything, because they would rather it came from the horses mouth if it wants to talk.
