text: Should we call it a boycott if the NLWC has maybe the best 2 contenders in the country and doesn't show.....
  Just read the article and to me it seemed like they meant the first four athletes have been selected, as opposed to the way they worded it.
  easy answer, no. we were all waiting on nickal, cox, taylor....and yes even hoping downey would show up just to get killed.
  I've wondered if these events that have popped up are USAW sanctioned, or by the local athletic commissions.
  What is the benefit to Flo, or anyone involved, in having this be USAW sanctioned? If the entertainment value goes up in any way, shape or form by being independent from that then for goodness sakes do that -- because these events are 100% about entertainment.
  Based on the first 4 names either Flo is holding onto the big names for a significant promotional announcement or they need a stronger mind involved in overcoming obstacles to enhance their events (example -- their rigid and lame excuse for not accommodating DTs no tech fall request when facing PD3).
  Also, just to preface that I am not anti-Flo conceptually, because the idea of an open weight class perhaps chosen to pull in competitors from two surrounding weight classes that are star studded is quite cool, especially to die hard wrestling fans. Great idea and the potential to have something unprecedented was there (Dake, DT, Bo, Dieringer, Cox, PD3, Zahid -- amazing marketability and wow factor), but the result thus far is a Bill Farrel 86kg type bracket where none of the interesting guys show up. For their sake the next 4 are the announcement worthy ones.

  3.5 stars I first heard of this book on one of Oprah's Book Club episodes, god knows how many years ago. It struck me as something I should read. Which I never did until now. It's not exactly the literary masterpiece I was expecting, but still a very good read. The story takes place in Congo (refer...
