This is an all time post from you Tarp… Hang it in the Louvre.
The Bull back in action
- Thread starter jrod65
- Start date
Supposedly Stalemates gives the reason on their patreon site... and if you are to believe his opponent, Marinelli wanted something else added to the contract.
This is a huge problem. It really is what Gilman said about the HWC being a "jobs program." The club is just not a priority to Tom. And we'd better all get comfortable with that.
not true. Tom said we "have unlimited funding."
They should be saving lots of money since our active D-1 guys need to “rest and recover” so they don’t compete in free. Big Cass says f that
Easy with the “we.” I for one have “cesspool expectations” and they’re applied to everyone.
Yeah it’s a weird take that I’m not used to on HR. The defeatist attitude is definitely new to me.
i really hope this isn't true because it's a dereliction of duty on tom's part. simply can't expect to compete without it. ncaa champs win team titles and the best kids want to compete on the world stage.
It’s the new team spirit. What ever is happening must be OK, or it wouldn’t be happening.
It IS true. It HAS to be true. Tom said it.
(just going with the arguments as posed to me when I said that Tom didn't have proof that persons are paid to badmouth Iowa)
More money.
Timeline is something like this:
Agreed to match
Richie wanted shorter match
Stalemates said OK
Bull said give me more money then
Stalemates said NO
Bull said I'm out
Surprised AM said no. How is the Bull supposed to pay the mortgage on just Moriah's salary alone? Madness!
apparently marinelli asked for more money after agreeing and pulled out when they said no.
sometimes it feels like this program is addicted to bad press lol

Nah. 95% of the time it’s not anyone on the teams fault. It’s just that 3 of the biggest platforms on twitter have a dislike of Iowa ranging from deranged to a regular hater. Then when those 3(mostly 2 of them) get backlash from Iowa fans they just block them and then it seems like no one is seeing both sides.
yeah and Iowa doesn't tend to ever explain anything so the people you're referencing can paint the picture however they want and get away with it
Yeah sometimes I wish Tom or someone on the team would respond, but in some scenarios I realize that it’s only gonna give the haters what they want. It’s annoying but it’s better that the trolls wear themselves out and Iowa just do their best to ignore it. I never agreed with Kirks no social media rule, but now I see where he was coming from. Especially in the case of Iowa wrestlers.

I didn't care if he wrestled in the first place so if he isn't then so be it. I personally think his mind/body are done with competing. Has the kind of personality to be a good coach though.
no idea. don't really care honestly. just seems silly to take a match in a "street league" against a guy who doesn't even wrestle anymore and then pull out because you're not getting paid enough. what's the point?
i don't think you can include stalemates as a hater. zach's had tom on for long interviews multiple times. he's a cyclone fan, but seems like a good dude who just wants to put on a show for fans.
The point is clearly the money. In boxing or mma the contract is usually on hold because the “better” draw is asking for more guaranteed money. I don’t think this is much different especially considering what you said. Marinelli figured the money wasn’t fair. Is he right? Hell if I know. I agree if he took the match and then backed out that it isn’t right but who really knows all the p’s and q’s.
Anybody who knows Alex knows there's absolutely no shot he agreed to a match and then backed out after already agreeing because he wanted more money.
Plus, we already know he doesn't need the money since Iowa is paying Moriah so much under the table right? 😅
Pretty ugly, our two coaches have the pedegree in international wrestling. Both Terry and Tom are more accomplished than Cale.
What's the issue?? Whatever it is, it's a real one. I don't have the answer.
Money? Charisma, coaching style?
Opinions from those that have more insight than me, I'd like to know the thoughts on this.
As previous stated. Tom said "we have unlimited funding" - are we believing that or not? Pretty black and white considering we all said that if Tom says it, we have to believe it.
You are exhausting.
