Default Martin Misses The Boat

Flowrestlr - Profile - Martin Floreani Blog - Arizona State is Dropping wrestling, and why we need to drop Mike Moyer

I'm with him with the majority of what he writes here, but the fact that decided that he wants to use the dropping of the ASU program to carry on his feud with the NWCA over wanting results is utterly self centered, and repulsive.

Martin has lost it on this one. Great site he has, but his blogs are not helping his cause.

I dont know what the deal with the nwca and him is but I agree it has nothing to do with ASU and it shouldnt be brought up in the same context

Some these blogs have been off the charts this past month or so. The "I'm not upset I didn't win the award, and it doesn't matter, yet I will continue to bitch about it blog" is my still my personal favorite. I thought the most recent one is inappropriate, poorly timed and self centered. It motivated me to leave a comment for the first time (the first comment too).

You were spot on with your comment though. His posts are becoming more and more self centered. Ego thing? IDK. He is still mad about not winning that award, but people need to realize that a lot of what he has posted is simply untrue. He got results as did many others during the year, so there is no monopoly on results like he states.

He says Mike Moyer has done nothing to help the sport. Hello Bucknell, Sacred Heart, Binghampton, etc have all been saved or re-instated with his help. Countless of other smaller schools have been helped also.

There is absolutely no connection between ASU being dumped and the NWCA. Good conspiracy theory though.

He makes it seem like the NWCA is just flowing with millions. Give me a break. We know the truth.

The problem I have is with all the lackeys that go on there and just agree without really knowing the truth. Don't just be followers. Know the truth then post.

I used to like him and what he was doing for the sport, but now I just think he's a F'in idiot.

You take out the self-serving blogs and what he does is great. However, the self-serving part is starting to overshadow what he's done.

Martin continues in every blog he writes about the NWCA to gripe on the results not being public, the funny thing is they were emailed to him along with every other media outlet all season long, but they never were posted to flowrestling.

Yup. Doesn't help his cause to let the truth be known. Better to keep the followers in the dark.

Funny thing about the guy is when I decided it was time to donate a little money, he emailed back with some snide remark about how it wasn't enough.
