I don’t know how he can see when it’s wet 😂

Cutting it off was a mistake. I would rather have seen it shortened on the sides so it is less of a mushroom helmet and more of a brocolli mullet. That would look great on him. Hair like that should be showcased.

The official was explaining to Marco that he had taken his opponent's arm to a potentially dangerous position, and reminding him that when attempting to turn his opponent using a Chicken Wing / Arm Bar that he may only apply pressure perpendicular to the long axis of the body rather than parallel to the long axis of the body.

@@MidwestWrestle Thank you 🙂 When will you do an interview with Marco?

dont be weird bro

@@cementfists how’s he being weird Edti :oh nvm lol

@@cementfists I'm not sure how that is a weird comment.

Hi Mike, thank you for the question. It might be helpful to know that the weights listed are just the weight grouping that they wrestled for that particular match (not necessarily even that entire tournament). In other words, just because he wrestled this match at 145 lb, it doesn't necessarily mean that he weighed 145 lb. By rule, wrestlers are permitted to voluntarily move up one weight class above the one in which they qualified for. So, while Marco may have weighed in and qualified for the 138 weight class, it is possible that he or his coach chose to move him to 145 for this particular match for any number of reasons. One common reason could have been that another team member was already slotted for 138 lb and the team needed a 145 lb wrestler. Another scenario is equally possible: it could have been the case that Marco just barely qualified for 138 lb at the tournament two weeks prior (for example, let's pretend he weighed in at exactly 138.0 lb) and two weeks later he may have failed to qualify for 138 lb because he weighed 138.1 lb, and was therefore left with no choice but to wrestle in the next highest weight class, which would have been 145 lb. Please note that these are all hypothetical scenarios - I do not actually know why he wrestled 138 lb at one tournament and 145 lb at the next.

@@MidwestWrestle Ah, makes sense! Thanks for the thorough response. Not sure I’d pit a 138.1 lb wrestler against one who is a full 145, but like you said, they might not have had any other option. Besides, I guess it does come down to overall strength and technique. 👍🏼
