Burroughs SAVED wrestling in 2013 after they dropped the Olympics.
He was the hero not just 🇺🇸 wrestling had, but the hero the wrestling 🌎 needed.
Where would wrestling be without him?
@MatScoutWillie
What an incredible morning for USA Wrestling. Couldn’t have scripted it any better.
Dake back in.
Winchester back in.
Gilman wins bronze.
Gable makes finals.
Taylor wins gold.
Helen wins bronze.
I’ll never forget this session. 🇺🇸
Why Spencer Lee will win Olympic 🥇
I think he wins this next match then forfeits out. Doesn’t compete the rest of the summer. Continues to rehab and get healthier.
Opponents won’t have much tape on him, aside from his crazy trapped wrist gut.
Way Too Early 2024 Predictions.
125 ?
133 Vito
141 Woods
149 Gomez
157 Haines
165 O Toole
174 Starocci
184 Brooks
197 ?
285 Kerk
Will have a full list once we know who is coming back and using a COVID year.
As a lifelong Hawkeye fan I hate saying this, but I’m excited for what is going on at Okie State.
DT was my favorite folkstyle wrestler ever, just ahead of Metcalf.
And of course, we all love Gilman.
Kennedy really impressed me on the senior level after college!

When I 1st started watching MFS team 🇺🇸 had the following results:
2007: Bronze
2008: Gold
2009: Silver, Bronze
2010: No Medal
We only had 4 medals during an entire QUAD!
To see the 🇺🇸already have 3 finalists & 3 more in the Semis is just incredible.
What a time to be a fan!
I posted this and then had a 3 day HS tournament to coach at so I haven’t been able to log back in.
Log back in and see the post blew up with over 100,000 impressions.
After today, I hope you now all understand why if AJ is a Hawkeye, I will no longer be a fan.
10 seconds into a match he gives up an easy go behind and then two guts.
Not ideal.
Maybe it’s time for USA Wrestling to rethink how to determine the World Team. 🤷🏻♂️
1) I’m not saying it’s likely, but there is a very real chance PSU could score more points at NCAA’s next year.
Next year’s potential lineup and realistic expectations.
125 Davis: 1st-7th
133 Nagao: 5th-R12
141: Bartlett 1st-3rd
149 Van Ness: 1st-5th
Zain Allen Retherford!
Congrats on becoming an Olympian for Team USA in dominating fashion!
Zain is a legit medal contender in Paris.
🌍 watch out because Team 🇺🇸 is coming! 🥇
For the first time since the 2010 worlds, team 🇺🇸 will wrestle in a world championships without the 🐐,
@alliseeisgold
.
We’ll be cheering for Chance, and for Kyle, while also hoping that the champ returns and makes the team in 2024 for one last run.
🥇
JB is the GOAT. It is impossible to say everything he did to raise the level of wrestling in this country. We don't get the versions of Nolf and Dake we got without Jordan Ernest Burroughs.

Wisconsin defeats Minnesota for the first time since 2010-2011 season!

I remember when the only time you could watch prime time live Wrestling was the NCAA Finals.
Now the first round of Big Tens is live and easily accessible!

I thought this moment in the match was even bigger than the takedown and nearfall.
Dean never gives up takedowns this easily and this quickly.
Mental lapse? Gassed? Injury?
Zain 🚂 is on a roll!
After a scary 4 point throw to fight off his back he goes back to his Folkstyle roots with a leg turk exposure to a power half pin! 📌
1 down, 3 to go!
Zane, Nick, & Chance all won their spots fair & square.
However, it’s much easier to beat a guy when you get to train exclusively for him.
If you beat a returning world medalist at Final X you should have to back it up by out-placing them in an international tournament.
Thank you to

for being the SUPERwomen my daughter can look up to.
She was born yesterday morning & got to experience the whole Olympic experience last week watching with mommy.
Thanks to all who promote Women’s Wrestling!

It’s 2023.
Why are guys still grabbing far hip?
This sequence here lost the match and likely will be the reason we score 0 points at 57 kg and don’t qualify the weight.
The BIGGEST wrestling match in the history of the world will go down tomorrow morning.
Olympic Champions Abduralrashid Sadulaev vs Kyle Snyder.
Russia 🇷🇺 vs USA 🇺🇸 & the winner of this match clinches the Olympic TEAM title as well.
It will never get any bigger than this.

@CPyles8
That effort from Abasov was horrendous.
And with that, Chance is out.
Say what you want, but if you’re a fan of American Wrestling you wanted JB in that weight.
He wins that bracket, handily.
Recent 🇺🇸 wrestling moments that left us heartbroken.
2016 JB vs 🇷🇺
2016 Cox vs 🇹🇷
2018 JB vs 🇷🇺
2019 JB vs 🇷🇺
2021 Gilman vs 🇷🇺
2021 Dake vs Kadi
2023 Snyder
It kills me that so many pure blood wrestling fans love riding time.
RBY and Fix matches were so BORING!
Neutral Wrestling, when guys need takedowns to win, is by far the best.
Everybody defended Dakes Chest Wrap this weekend.
The world has caught up.
Can’t wait to see what changes Dake and the NLWC make for Olympic Team Trials.
Being healthy, and being the guy, USA pours everything into him.
First time healthy and in shape since 2017 and he’s the guy.
Weight cut isn’t too bad which will help him off the scales at the games.
And, he’s Spencer freaking Lee!
The ole run-the-pipe finish. Don't see guys go for it a ton but it can & does work at the highest levels. When opp's leg starts closer to outside hip (rather than between legs) you typically have more space to pull the leg across & can generate more hip rotation.
@NCAAWrestling
What an amazing season for
@Mukwrestling
! Best team in Mukwanago history and one of the best runner up teams in WI history. We were so fortunate to have these guys at camp last year and look forward to them returning this summer!
