Your Russian buddy is right but to say Russian wrestlers are somehow less proficient in a couple of other sports than American wrestlers is completely wrong.
Face it Spider, for all its wealth America is real cheap on sports development within its population. It is much cheaper to provide different sports in schools for a few months each than to spend money on clubs with full time coaches available all year around for all different sports.
PS I will never forget maintenance people at my high school telling me I can't keep the wrestling mat in the wrestling room because it has to be rolled up to prepare space for baseball equipment storage since the wrestling season is over. How was it over when I had NY freestyle states in 2 months to qualify for Fargo? I often had to drive to Blair for 1.5 hours and upstate NY to get quality workouts when I was old enough to drive. This is your main problem Spider.
Its one and the same. That would also mean two people know something about wrestling. The world must be coming to an end because now two people outside of gallan know something about wrestling and Notre Dame finally scored a touchdown.

No shit! We had a camp back in Aug and had our room all nice and set up until volleyball needed an extra place to warm up for our home tournament. So, we go out of our way to roll up mats and let them in. Guess what? One of the neighboring schools had a group of girls steal some school stuff out of our room, graffiti our room and then when we complained to the school admins about it, they don't want to do shit about it because it was Pat Kilkenny's niece(The douche AD at UO who cut the program). talk about some bullshit!

I could drop your name but I doubt even Belaglasov, or Smith, or Fadzaev, or Khardtsev, have the credentials to legitimately do that. Maybe Karelin does.... but even that would be a stretch.

I am surprised at you actually..... you have actually seen my child, and my wife was at that beach tournament (albeit out of sorts). Therefore you know darn well that not only did I marry, I married (genetically speaking) well.
I would think with all your kids, and the work you do in the community, it would be different, but.... thanks for the insite to your true character. Given my wife is in a really bad place, you will be the first person I notify when her demons get the best of her, and she dies, leaving Reni without a mommy. That should please you a great deal.

That was the route you chose by trying to degrade me, however, I did in fact think you were single. So I apologize for the comment, for what little it may mean to you. And no it wouldn't please me. Let's not go overboard. My attitude towards you was way different until you chose to go down that path of getting personal and I usually never go down that path period until someone starts with me.
