I would call Phil Davis very successful, just never a champ. Pico is solid and getting better. Bubba is ok, Darrion isn't great but was a champ at one point

Wouldn’t say all these guys are the same level of wrestling as Bo and they don’t have the same style as Bo but yeah wrestlers still get beat if they can improve in all other areas

Nickal had absolutely 0 chance of making a US Olympic team for at least the next 2 cycles, and DC knows that.  It sickens me how often he lies about wrestling.

10/10? That’s incredibly generous. I’d be surprised he wasn’t getting paid in Hot Pockets

"When was the last time a UFC fighter debuted on the main card? Maybe CM Punk?"

Completely forgot about that timeline... 💀
