I do not think it will happen, as I believe the last match was the anomaly, but let's say DT wins something vicious... maybe a 12-2 Tech? Does Yazdani then consider 97 KG and Ghasempour make the drop for 2024? I am of the mind that he would succeed at whatever weight he goes. He has one generational talent to deal with at 86 KG rather than two at 97 KG is the largest difference. FTR - I believe it ends up being a 4-3/3-3 type match with one person getting a TD and that person winning. I will go DT because of homerisms, but I would not bet on this match. Edit: You could add two points to the victor on an errant last second failed TD attempt that gets countered - similar to 2021 Worlds.

FYI - Here is a list of entries, stuffs like that: https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1ee3cbae-f1ff-6c1c-96f1-d54d04edeeec

Yeah, I just checked. @LJBisn't banned from TheMat. He made a choice of wisdom.

I thought this as well. That said, it is not going to be as restrictive as the old site. Guarantee it, @Irani

Here. Although Willie and Bob Dole have gotten Intermat's forums up.

Interesting in that their 'official' roster page lists Washington at 184 and South at 165 still, then.

Unfortunately politics are more important to politicians than wrestling is.

I need you to change your display picture to the old one. Please.

I am with you there. Luckily Iran has done quite well at U20, U23, and Seniors. I am sure a quality team will come together, if you guys get the VISA situation sorted.

Does this mean South us headed down to 165 as well? If so then their lineup is instantly better. South may not AA, but he is more suited for 165 than 174. As for Washington? He becomes an immediate low AA contender. At 184 he was going to fight tooth and nail for a R16 or R12 finish in a peak performance scenario.

I hope we see the #1 Iran squad. I believe the US squad fully depends on the lineup you gents roll out. David Taylor was on FRL last week and kind of skated around answering if he would or would not be at the World Cup as well. I think Zahid beats anyone else you guys throw out at 86 KG aside for Yazdani (or possibly Ghasempour?). I am also of the wish to see Ghasempour at 86 KG and Yazdani at 92 KG for this next year's Worlds. Cox will be at 97 KG and I suspect we will see Moore (who us back and forth with Karimi) or another 86 KG guy step up (Hidlay is my preferred choice).

I think he would have, yes. I don't see how to even argue against that. Styles do make matches, though so I don't think he would have done it as effortlessly as he teched the Georgian, despite the Georgian making very little effort to do the same against Cassioppi.

It is perplexing that he would have even thought it an option. The rules are quite clear.

The 125 KG Georgian looks to utilize his height and reach advantage. When he cannot do that he has very little to offer. Masoumi absolutely destroyed him.

I think it would have made him potentially better than he should have been. IVs are common for rehydration in other sports.
