Jesse Thielke is one of the more fun Greco guys to watch. Really good tournament for him.

My tv menu says this only airs until 8:30. That would suck.

I absolutely hate the subjectivity of Greco officiating. How on earth did they feel Smith should go down first? He was controlling the ties, pace, and directions. Perkins did nothing on his feet and they reward him with par terre? A joke...

There was really good wrestling all day. The finals were probably the least exciting round of the day, but they were still solid.

Still can't believe Frank Molinaro won that bracket. I don't see him qualifying the weight for the US, but beating Russell, Metcalf, Stieber, and Pico in one day does give me hope that he can do it. Also, how great did Retherford look? He is special.

Most interested in 86 kilos tomorrow. Hopefully see a Dake-Taylor semifinal, BUT Richard Perry and Jon Reader will be tough outs, especially Perry. Holding out hope that we see the best Ed Ruth we've ever seen too.

Excited to see Hall too. I think he gets by Massa and then competes with Howe and comes up just short. It would be awesome to see him make the semis and take on Ringer.

I think NBCSN is doing a very good job with the broadcast and commentary all day.

I wasn't able to watch the final match between Smith and Perkins...
So I can't comment on the officiating. But I CAN comment on John Smith-mucho respect for the man and his accomplishments. But-if you're going to comment in the WTT and the matches-learn just a teensy bit more about the new rules. He didn't understand why in the 2nd match, Perkins was awarded points-smith was penalized for jumping & swimming forward, that is considered fleeing the hold. And his name is Jesse THEEL-KE, not Theekle. He ssid he's been watching him all day, learn how to say his name. They pronounced Hafisov wrong too.

Couldn't agree more. Never should have gone to a 3rd match. Awarding Perkins 2 pts in the second match was a joke as well. As soon as it was awarded John Smith said that never should have been called.

Sry Tiny, but I'll go with John Smith's opinion 10 out of 10 times.

And, John Smith was wrong. Hey, I wanted Pat to win, I'm one of his biggest fans. But that 2 pts to Perkins didn't make that much diff on the results of the best 2 of 3..and there is no more" Going down first".... They changed the rules. There is no more, first red is down, then blue is down. They have to hit someone with passivity, if there's no scoring. Do I always agree with who they put down ? No.

Let's ask a few more referees here-was that fleeing the hold, or not ?

The Thielke pronunciation was painful

Is that not considered defending the move? Isn't crawling forward the best defense to a gut?

It made a huge difference - if that isn't called Pat wins the second match.

Molinaro is one hell of a counter wrestler and that hair is awful!

I thought copying Mitch McKee was a bold move, but it seemed to work out.

That was a great series of matches with Pico. Molinaro has had tremendous success at all levels now, hopefully this is the beginning and he can take it to Rio.
