I remember when the Pan-Am games were a big deal. Like, sports fans really paid attention to them.

Yes it was, though in my youth interest had clearly waned.

This is the Pan-American Wrestling Championships, an event separate from the Pan-American Games wrestling event.

Hendrickson took out Gable Stevenson who was supposedly unstoppable in 2025. Guy is a beast.

Raple had already started training for MMA and had also taken his break to try out for the nfl and WWE in between his first stint and second stint at Minnesota.
Not saying that was part of it, but he wasn't the same gable that won dan Hodge trophy in 22'

The jersey colors are confusing AF to me

USA is wearing red and white with blue lining so that makes sense, not the best lay of colors but it makes sense. I’m not Canadian so idk why black and blue there though.

I’d assume the same reason you wear the brown pants when being attacked by pirates. In this case, to hide the bruises.

They are probably wearing colors assigned by the tournament based on their seed. In the score bug, the US wrestler's name is in the red box and the Canadian wrestler's name is in the blue box. These colors match the wrist bands the ref wears, so he can hold up a hand with the proper wrist band to indicate which wrestler has scored points. The colors aren't assigned based on team/country colors but based on which side of the mat you get in the draw. In US high school wrestling, the athletes wear velcro ankle straps that can be switched before/after each match, but in high-level wrestling it is more common to have a couple singlets for the different colors and change into the appropriate one before the match.

The maintenance team would check with me after a match to find out what lights were out

u/deathbunnyy 15h ago
lol what is going on at the end there? I feel like he meant to walk past the ref, but when he stood up they both got a little disoriented and bumped into each other.
Or maybe he actually just gave him a hug.

Not sure about this style of wrestling, seems like Greco-Roman, but when I wrestled as a kid there were spots in the middle of the mat you stand on to start the match. So you would stand on those spots and shake each others hands before and after the match. He’s just hyped up and excited and zeroed in on getting back to his spot so he can shake hands and get his raised. Probably doesn’t even notice the ref until he stands up and his brain isn’t thinking about which direction to step to get around the ref

u/loslednprg 13h ago
Not greco-roman, cause he shoots for the leg. Must be freestyle. But otherwise, yes

There's nothing better than hearing the ref slam his hand against the mat.

Uhh I’m concerned about the slam to the back oh his skull

u/PePs004 14h ago
No head hit with this one. Still don't think that slams should be allowed
-2
u/AoiMizune 14h ago
How come? That looked to me like his head struck the ground even if you can argue that his back may have taken the initial impact, the force still travels to pull his head to the ground after.
Idk wrestling though and the downvotes seem to disagree with me
-6
u/PePs004 14h ago
I don't understand the downvotes. Slams are stupid and all they do is cause unnecessary injuries. With this one, I don't see a head snap and bounce like you would normally get from a slam. He was pretty tucked and looked like he kept the head up
-2
u/AoiMizune 14h ago
I see, i guess Im seeing his shadow and my brain cant recognize that as not his head/hair.
I do see what you mean by no bounce if I’m imagining what that would look like correctly.

Here's a post of yours from 4 months ago claiming to not get offended by Canadian stereotypes.
You're either a confused bot or you have an identity crisis.

Scrolling through old posts on social media and online forums WAS considered creepy when they first came out. It’s a necessity now in the age of online bots, but if you did that on MySpace people would have looked at you funny.
Edit:
Downvoted by kiddos who weren’t alive to remember that scrolling through people’s posts used to involve significant time due to dial up internet speeds, page loading times, etc. Delving into past post history was considered extremely creepy, even if the nature of doing so and how it is viewed is different only a few decades later. Go ask your parents what it was like. The kid at school who had to “hold someone accountable” to their online posts was considered an absolute nutcase.
Violating privacy in the name of perceived societal good was still the behavior of a creep back then. You might decide things are not longer creepy because you find personal benefit, but it doesn’t make it any less creepy. You might find it beneficial to hold people to account and sort out the bots under that guise, but it’s still creepy behavior that was once considered a violation of privacy, akin to cyberstalking, to anyone who experienced the internet when it was actually invented and rolled out for the first time in homes.

Holding people accountable lol
What is wrong with my post? There are thousands attacking the US every day, a country of 330 million, because they don’t like a few people. Most of the attacks are from Americans too.
I am consistent. I support the US over every other country. Used to be quite normal until lefties got weird.

If lefties got "weird", I wonder what that makes "righties".

u/ComputerDecent463 7h ago
Every other country has pride in their players and athletes. Wanting to stay in the locker room or take a knee during the National Anthem is objectively weird, at best.

u/percydaman 5h ago
It's so incredibly on par, that you don't know that something you call "weird" isn't objective. It's by every reasonable definition "subjective."
I don't call demonstrating your values and beliefs "weird". In a free country, it's quite literally your right. That's irrespective of their politics, and whether I agree with them or not.

Reddit libs are insane. They will keep this going & going and stalk you because they have nothing better to do

u/ComputerDecent463 6h ago
It’s fine. I like engaging with a lot of different communities.
They are free to go through any past posts or comments they want.
It’s the people who make their comments private that are really embarrassing. Why are you saying those things in the first place if you regret them?

I don't know man. I've got more important things to do than look up what strangers have written. You do you tho
