RE: Latest Episode of "The Beat and the Beard" UNCW sports podcast
Alex/Michael,
How about a pro wresting take here. I believe that this was brought up at some point and it would be fun to discuss as it's the off season. Who's getting it down right now? Who's your all time favorite? My feeling is that Seth "freaking" Rollins is the best overall wrestler in the business right now. My all time favorites were Rick Flair and Mr. Perfect just for reference.
As far as the Hawks goes....it would be good to get a feel for how Jeantal may fit into the rotation. You guys may have seen more of him but he's an interesting piece but sounds like he would be better as a complimentary 4 man at this point that can defend, run and score some. Surely he will get minutes at the 4 with his athleticism, but just how he fits is interesting. My gut is that the WF from Charlotte will get a chance to step up as a true freshman and Estime will step up next year as he can play multiple positions and is smart with the ball. When I write "step up" that doesn't mean starting initially, it means being a rotational player that can get into the main mix or eventually be a starter. I can see why McGrath got the guy from Ga. Southern now because he's an underated scorer/athlete that can play off of Cacok with his experience and stabilize the 4 spot because he's an efficient scorer in his role and understands how to play off others. This team has options in the post now with Matt ready and Kalina with a year under his belt. It will be interesting to see if Kalina continues to develop. He may play a whole lot more next year than expected. He has tools and is big. Matt can flat out shoot the ball for a big and if he can get his D and boards where he needs it, will be a force to be reckoned with.

Kalina has a lot of upside. He's got some decent moves, but seems to be unaware he's 7 foot tall. If the coaches can get him to play fearlessly and aggressive, he'd be a load to handle. It would be nice if we could get some quality minutes from him at the 5, but out problem is we have a lot of players for the 4 spot this year, as i'm sure Cacock would like to improve is game as a WF instead of a center.

AJ is good, but I prefer Rollins. Both are good in the ring for sure. I liked Impact Wrestling for a good while, but they took it off the air. That is where he used to be. Raw is fun to watch on Mondays. I like the women's division a bit better than I used to. That woman wrestler from Japan is cool and Rowsey has added something too.

My all time favorite was The Living Legend, Bruno Sammartino. Also known as the Italian Superman. Held the WWWF title for eight consecutive years after beating Buddy Rogers. He lost it to Ivan Koloff. Eventually he won it back and held it for three more years.
I think my favorite tag team was probably the Road Warriors. I am amazed at what wresters can do and survive, even though it is fake. Got to be the best stunt men in the world.

Fake? You're telling me that Ric Flair was fake and the 4 horsemen were fake? Well, it was a fun ride anyways. What about the American Dream Dusty Rhodes? Fun times. I went to Dorton Arena to see the Rock and Roll Express against the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette. Good times.

Predetermined is probably a better word
The physicality is very real. But virtually everything you see on TV has been planned ahead of time
