Absolutely - seems very likely it was strategy to try and get under jb's skin. I mean, it's not like mesenbrink acted one bit surprised by the response lol - that was the plan
Referee needs to deal with clubbing and boxing early. You have to be decisive as an official sometimes. There is an earlier match (several years ago0 where an opponent really tried to injure Burroughs with joint torsion. That official called potentially dangerous, then penalties.This is not that level of problem but maybe the official was influenced by the crowd here. Mesenbrink was not able to score much here and so tried to bully Jordan and fight off the mat. I wish Jordan handled the match better at the end but wrestling is an emotional sport and Mesendbrank earned the pop.
@@markchandler7089 As an official, I see your point. Ref did nothing wrong here tho, and he penalized accordingly. That spectacle added some excitement to the match....
I was there, and it wasn’t just PSU fans booing. I was surrounded by Iowa and Ohio fans that were booing, but I wasn’t shocked based on what I was seeing. The extra stuff Mitch was doing wasn’t obvious to the crowd. JB’s reaction was impossible to miss. Mitch tried to congratulate him after the match and JB started shoving him. And with 4 matches going on at once, all the fans saw was the extra stuff that JB was doing. Real time in the stands, you may have had a different perspective. The video does give a different view, but also doesn’t show how he started shoving and going off after the match had ended- that’s what set the tone for the nighttime match against Nolf
The Penn state crowd sucks. The iowa fan base cheered for legends even when they beat their club’s guys. This is the Olympics, not the NCAA’s. The fact that our greatest ambassador ever got boo’d all day is a testament to Penn State’s lack of tradition, understanding, wrestling knowledge and respect for the sport. This is not how you treat our nations great champions.
It's cause he said he would takeout Starocci's knee at the national finals that's where people lost respect for him, but Penn State is the goat of wrestling and Burroughs is done, Nolf kicked his ass
The Starocci thing is such a Strawman. They all took that so out of context. I heard it live and it was fine, it was humor. CLEARLY if he really had a plan to do that he would not say that on National TV. Bo and the entire PSU community lost alot of fans in the wrestling community after this. JB waxed Nolf so many times prior to this he could have seen his own reflection. Hes carried the torch for over a decade its about time someone for penn state actually beat him hes 35…
Messenbrink was literally throwing punches and wrestling past the whistle the entire match…JB let him now that he wasn’t going to be distracted with all those extra antics.
Don’t even act like JB hasn’t also thrown punches and hard clubs in his matches, check out his match against Aniuar Geduev at the ‘16 Olympic Games 1/4 match and his match against Kyle Dake at the 2017 US Open.
JB had this match handled all the way. The youngster needs to calm down. He hasn’t seen what the GOAT had seen…. Including all the world and Olympic medals. Great work JB.
I'm also from Wisconsin. Terrible attitude and nonsense "bullying" he could have and should have been punched out by Burroughs. But he had too much class. And shame on that biased crowd for booing Burroughs.
I wouldn’t go QUITE that far lol. a bit of a spazz like desanto yes, but ive not really seen much dirty wrestling if any. He could do without the patented iowa push after you already go out of bounds but pushing isnt really dirty. I certainly dont see him trying to arm lock anyone after being down by a margin lol. Or cartwheel kicking anyone in the head haha.
Hey I am a German fan since 2011 and after 13 years of JB on the highest i do not understand why people hate on him now. Without him US wrestling was not the Same . He pushen them all ... JB one of the Goat.
His opponent here currently wrestles for Penn State University's team and these Olympic Trials took place at Penn State itself. So you can imagine that the majority of those in attendance are relatively local to the area and support the Penn State program which includes Mesenbrink. The reaction here in the US to the behavior by the fans in attendance was one of shock and disappointment. JB is unanimously beloved and you'd expect people to see the bigger picture and not be so tribal.
Veterans love this kind of strategy. Shouldn't waste time psyching them out. You should be testing their reactions and making them move. Learning experience for this young man
Mesenbrink had that wild early Desanto energy. JB was so cool considering all the post whistle action MM dealt him. Classless PSU fans should be ashamed of themselves.
The entire match Mensenbrink was wrestling passed the whistle, pushing him back after the whistle for no reason, taunting JB and being completely unsportsmanlike. JB had so much patience the whole time but after the last head smash it seemed like he was seriously trying to be an asshole and had to be set straight
Messenbrink was literally being a punk the whole match lol. Wrestling past the whistle over a dozen times like you have something to prove when you’re getting goosed is crazy dude.
I respect both wrestlers. They are both good people. I’ve met both wrestler’s. MITCH is a stand up guy I love that dude. JB is such a great person as well and a native to my home town
Messebrank was OD. Kid was out of line. JB let him know rightfully so. Shit pisses me off I heard PS crowd talking shit to JB after the Nolf match. That disgusts me. I’m disappointed w the Penn State. SMGDFH 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😡 Level of disrespect is unreal. What JB has done for this sport the levels he’s bright it up to all his work and championships. JB is THE GOAT!
😂😂😂😂😂 this started because JB was about going after Carters hurt leg. With no cares in the world about it. Was really hoping he'd step to Bo this weekend and get dropped 😅😅😅
God dammit - One more thing - After JB shoved Mesenbrink, the first thing the ref did was signal for a caution and 1 and then look to the table to see if it was confirmed. THAT IS PATHETIC. The first order of business is to GET IN THERE AND STOP THE FIGHT. You can figure out the points later. What an embarrassing performance from the ref. Just timid and weak. (IMO it’s the ref’s fault that things had to get to the point where JB had to do something about Mesenbrink’s antics.)
Y'all are soft. JB dominated 1st period and decided to stall. Mesenbrink couldn't do anything about it, so decided to fuck with him. The old bull gave the young bull a receipt for the effort. Nothing to see here.
Before the match Messenbrink talked a ton of shit about how he was going to retire JB. After running the score up on him, I suspect that's why JB let him initiate his attacks moreso than in period 1. He was daring Messenbrink to do something, do anything about how he was getting worked over. The one shove JB gave him was after Messenbrink wrestled well after the whistle and out of bounds. The hometown Penn State fans were biased all tournament so their reaction isn't unexpected.
Messenbrink needs more offense to be effective at the next level. He tried to counter-wrestle and did not attack on the mat, he saved it for out-of-bounds. I respect Valencias style, going down shooting. MM nearly got teched, wish JB had finished it early.
You can tell the PSU crowd has no idea what they’re talking about. Messenbrink was wrestling past the whistle and almost throwing punches multiple times in the match, and then they want boo Burroughs because he “was disrespectful to our guy.” Idc what you think, if I had been shoved out, headbutted, and a guy refused to get off my leg when the action has stopped, I’d retaliate too. Burroughs knew he was winning, and he made it clear for Messenbrink to stop wrestling dirty, and then the second it happens with their guy they try throwing Burroughs under the bus like he sucks or he’s unsportsmanlike. Respect goes two ways, if you don’t respect him, he won’t respect you
Because he knows how Messenbrink is. Askren talkeda bout Messenbrink on FRL and that is just how he is. Its childish and absurd, but people know this by now, so I'm sure Cael doesn't get surprised when people retaliate against Mitchell.
@@tukeewc1880 Makes me wonder what is going on over there. PSU normally has calm and composed people but with his antics and their 125 deciding to throw a whining tantrum in the middle of the mat during action is embarrassing. Cael and Cunningham need to nip that in the bud before they have Desanto 2.0 on their hands.
Hand shakes, hand slaps, all that is pretty common, even after you get warned for clubbing too hard, but a high five? No way, that's just childish troll stuff Messenbrink was attempting, and when JB didn't want to play along, Mitchell slapped him. Bad look for Messenbrink.
I love JB, I would have done the same push. The only problem is that, that moment/action of “anger” and “fight” mentality probably cost him the “mentality” it took to take out Jason the next round. Just like in Rio. I saw the JB vs Jason match before this and kept wondering why I kept seeing “booing Burroughs” and when he lost that match, right away I thought of the Rio match where he was pushed. I actually think there is a link there. No more fighting!!! Haha
I disagree. I think something has been going on with Burroughs for a while now. He is exponentially way less active on the mat than before. It could definitely be age catching up to him, leading him to be more conservative in his moments. Or an injury that limits to what degree he can move, etc. At the same time age isn’t a factor that should stop him front faking, clubbing, snapping, etc. He’s very spaced out from the action. After he got his 7 against Messenbrink he stopped wrestling. And this isn’t new, I saw it when I watched Burroughs-Dake for the Olympic trials in person. And it’s what happened against Nolf. Nolf for sure got better as he adjusted to freestyle, but there are still levels to this game and JB has stayed up there for so long
Don’t see anything wrong w this tbh. A young hungry word class wrestler going against the GOAT. Wasn’t gonna be a friendly roll around. JB should’ve known that and should’ve j stayed composed
As a LOOONG TIME PSU fan, i’m extremely dissapointed in the Penn State fans, Wrestlers and some coaches in this tournament. Messenbrink wrestled far beyond the whistle in uncontinuation positions so many times and is not respecting who is probably the greatest American Wrestler of all time. No respect for the wrestler who has been carrying the torch for the sport for over a decade. Why not control the action and score takedowns instead of cheap shots after the whistle? I expected Cael to control things a little more as one of the greats but maybe his hands are tied since hes more involved with collegiate. They should not be letting Bo Nickal on as a coach IMO. Bo has maturing to do and is also in the center of these incidents. he wasnt close to the level wrestler JB was and maybe bitter since he pivoted to mma. The fan at the end walking over to JB after the final loss and screaming “now its over” was possibly the most classless act i’ve ever witnessed in sports fan history. That fan should be banned from attending any future wrestling events. I really hope someone took swift action on that. Penn State 100% lost a fan and respect in my book after this. I will be re-allocating my support for a different Team as its dissapointing.
I’m sorry you are jaded and DUSGUSTED….have fun rooting for 2nd place. Bo was a much better NCAA wrestler than JB ever was. JB won 2 titles, and quit another year do to an injury that wasn’t as bad as Carters. Nobody realizes that PENN STATE fan has been primarily sitting in the same seat at Rec Hall for decades. I just lost a friend who had seen every home match since 1971….52 years in the same seat. The dedication of this fan base is unparalleled.
@@TimM-wk1zxNo one here is doubting the dedication of Penn State fan base…. The frustration here stems from the lack of respect for JB who has arguably contributed the most to the sport of wrestling in the US over the last decade. Just because someone isn’t from Penn St doesn’t mean you can’t show due respect- especially in a sport where this has long been a tradition. It is a bad look as Penn St is on the forefront in wrestling right now in terms of talent, yet seemingly choosing to play the bad guy in a sport of resect.
JB has done the most in everyone’s minds, BECAUSE HES WRESTLED TILL HES ALMOST 40….lol. Most guys with any wherewithal give this sport up before 30. “J’den Cox” JB did nothing on the world level while he was in College, and Carter is just starting that side of his life. JB is 14 years older than Carter. Penn State fan is going to root for Penn State wrestlers. I’m sure DEEP DOWN Penn State fan doesn’t view Dake or Gilman as one of their own, but the inevitably root for them. I’m sorry you feel s fan base can’t boo who they choose, and I don’t think that kids that want to excel in life and wrestling are going to shy away from going to Penn State….So what is ur point. YOU are complaining on here, but a fan paying money can’t complain.
@@TimM-wk1zx Lets refresh here… Jordan Burroughs is 35 years old. He is only two years older than both Taylor and Dake. In the time after turning 30, he has won two World Championships. JB won Olympic Gold at 23yrs old- directly following his senior year in college. Only two other American wrestlers have won Olympic gold at a younger age in the last 2 decades - Synder and Steveson. Regardless of this, using that fact that Jordan is “old” as an argument AGAINST that fact that he has done the most for American wrestling (as a wrestler) recently makes zero sense, no shit! Penn State CAN boo whoever they choose, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the wrestling world needs to remain uncritical of it. In no way is this complaining- wrestling is just a game that we choose to assign value too, a boo wont hurt anyone- just to explain the frustration surrounding this incident through they eyes of the rest of the wrestling world. If your Penn State goggles diminish your ability to see the other side of your own argument, maybe touch grass.
JB did exactly what any man should of done he said the truth to kid stop punching my head with all those clubs messenbrink threw was uncalled for and made him look like a total scrub he looked desperate to setup any shot or strategy to win.
I like Messenbrink, but he wrestled this match like he was a high school kid. Burroughs schooled him, pulling out some of the tactics the Russians and Iranians use, slowing down the match. If Messenbrink wants to be successful, he has a lot of maturing to do. He can’t wrestle like that at the international level. The Russians, Eastern Europeans, and Iranians won’t put up with that nonsense.
Some mind games like wrestling after the whistle and positioning in the center. Doesn’t work on veterans so well. I’m sure knowledgeable PSU fans saw that too. Wonder if they will wrestle again?
Excellent pace by Mesenbrink. Quite the Prospect still. Burroughs the Vet here, had the experience and patience to control the Match. Also More effective with his Attacks. Great defense by Mesenbrink though. Outstanding performance by both Wrestlers.
So Mesenbrick gets out of line the Penn state crowd cheers!! JB react to the kid’s terrible behavior and they’re booing, talking shit, and disrespecting the man who won our country “🇺🇸🥇7️⃣ major world titles”?! Other countries in the world don’t do this BS to their champions 😒 only in America… This is why other countries laugh at us…
Mesenbrink was way out of line here. Especially in front of such a prestigious wrestler like JB. The lack of respect is sickening. Im behind JB all the way.
First two points for JB should have been challenged. No exposure. Mesenbrink did not break 90. The guy that lifted his "2" in the background couldn't have even seen it from his perspective. What's his deal?
Love watching MM exciting wrestler. Love all of Penn state wrestling their far beyond all of the competition. Its to bad they're among the most obnoxious fans out there😂
I can’t believe some of you people commenting on how Mesenbrink wrestled. I saw a kid wrestling a guy he highly respects and he was honored to wrestle. He was wrestling his fanny off. Mesenbrink frustrated the heck out of JB and he showed a dark side of himself that put a bad taste in my mouth. Nolf went out and beat the heck out of him, thankfully because Dake would have embarrassed him in the best of 3. I’m a huge fan of Mesenbrink now!! The kid is a buzzsaw that will only get better. He has the best coach on the planet so he definitely will reach his full potential, especially if he stays healthy.
I like how MM is a freshman in college and he wasn’t scared of Jordan. MM has some shady stuff there, but JB has been guilty of that too. Some are pretty subtle like the constant pulling of the socks against somebody who wants to have high pace, wrenching the fingers, and he is also known for clinging on the head. It’s OK for one boo the other . in the end, I would’ve done the same, but step back just a minute I like both wrestlers and have all the respect in the world for the wrestler that JB is… but his time is over and he just doesn’t know it yet.,
I can’t speak for Mitchell but it just seems like he wanted to prove to JB that he’s a tough opponent and won’t accept defeat so easily to someone as high level like JB, hence why he was pushing the pace with the clubbing and such. JB unfortunately lost his cool with the hit. I respect JB as a legend of freestyle wrestling but I did lose some with what happened with Mitchell. It was pretty uncalled for and Mitchell was probably just getting lost in the match and couldn’t hear the whistle blow at 9:03, it happens to everyone. JB unfortunately is now gonna have to face the fact that he hit a college sophomore just because he was being a little rougher with him than his other opponents are usually.
I thought JB was wrong there. He lost his composure, and I expect that he will apologize for it after he has had a chance to decompress a little. That being said, I don't think he's gonna lose too much sleep over it with 10 world-level medals on his bed stand. Anybody who has wrestled hard has had an angry moment or two on the mat.
I was at Penn state Iowa last year 2023. My wife went to Penn state. I can guarantee you that 50% of the people in the arena had zero idea what was going on. This isn’t an Iowa fan saying that. Just a guy who wrestled who loves wrestling. So I agree with things being said. Mitchell is acting like a dbag here and I would have been fine with him getting laid out.
M needs to get a hearing aid so he can hear the whistle and stop and learn sportsmanship. losing the entire match and suddenly you are upset that the other person can avoid you and ride out to a win??? well why is he in that position.. maybe because he beat you like a ragdoll have some class.
Both guys hand fight real hard. I don't have a problem with either. Mesenbrink wrestles like a punk. I really like that. He can go all day. JB also has been known to wrestle like a punk. I think Mesenbrink had it coming from JB. The only thing I have a problem with are these fuckwad PSU fans. You can't boo the sacred sock adjustment, you can't boo an American hero who does so much for the sport
For all you FLY BY NIGHT fans, fans that have never wrestled, OR sat through decades of home matches of ur favorite team, your complaining falls on deaf ears. Each person on that mat has their own style and their own personality. They are trying to win. These guys for the most part are the best of the best, and some are very young. JB is almost twice Mitchell’s age, and clearly past his prime. JB hasn’t won anything at the Olympic level for 12 years. Has anyone here not accomplished something they set out to do in 12 years? Fans are allowed to boo/cheer/whistle WHATEVER. And that fan base is super knowledgeable and has their favorites. The whining on here from armchair qb’s is shocking. I personally attended almost every rec hall match since 1979, and this fan base for the most part is fantastic. BTW….In addition to all the wrestling accolades currently, the TEAM CUMULATIVE GPA is 3.85.
Sounds like the only thing you set out to do & accomplished for the last 12 years is swill Pepsi & eat popcorn at the rec hall, probably yelling the wrong technique, thinking you actually know wrestling... There is a way to go about cheering for your club, but don't disrespect a legend, have some class
Jason, nice to see ur clueless….NOT a soda or Booze drinker, but you should stop the latter. Wrestled for many years, and have been in rec hall since 1979….ppl throw the term legend and hero around pretty easily, and I think do so because they just don’t know. Legends are viewed as notorious also….In regard to overall wrestling, JB couldn’t make an all TOP 100 list in folk-style, and he hasn’t done anything in the Olympics in 12 years. But in interviews JB points a finger at Doping in sports as to why he hadn’t won more….Maybe, he should wrestle till he’s 40 or 50. In regard to fans….Fans can boo or criticize anyone they choose….they paid for the seat, and in regard to ppl at rec hall, most have been there for 25 plus years. Myself since 1979. So ur theory on lack of knowledge or insight is out the window. I know derp down somewhere you think you have an affiliation to JB, but you don’t. You think some 2 day tournament in Rio, is more valuable than 5 years of dedication to a college. I don’t. Point is, root for whoever you choose, but don’t criticize someone else for their fan affiliations.
You're massively missing the point. Messenbrink wasn't just "wrestling his style", he was wrestling after the whistle, constantly, in fact four times that I counted before JB actually retaliated. Those are all cheap shots and aren't part of the sport. Messenbrink needs to be coached better and he needs to knock off this childish crap. We don't accept this from our youth club kids or our middle school and highschool kids, and there is no reason NLWC should accept it from Mitchell.
Mesenbrink seems like the adult version of the kid everyone hated wrestling in practice as a kid.
Mesenbrink wrestled passed the whistle almost a dozen times. Not surprised at JB set him straight

You're right. JB should have been cautioned out.
Dang heard about the match and it is confirmed Penn State guy was playing dirty the entire time. Glad JB got him in the end.
Whoever booed was looking for a reason to hate. Anyone who’s wrestled knows mesenbrink had it coming to him
JB gets more love from Iranians compared to PSU fans. At this point PSU needs a women’s team so they can boo more athletes
The fact that that's true is insane. Iranian wrestling fans respect talent no matter the nationality. PSU fans only care about their own

Before the match Messenbrink talked a ton of shit about how he was going to retire JB. After running the score up on him, I suspect that's why JB let him initiate his attacks moreso than in period 1.
He was daring Messenbrink to do something, do anything about how he was getting worked over.
The one shove JB gave him was after Messenbrink wrestled well after the whistle and out of bounds.
The hometown Penn State fans were biased all tournament so their reaction isn't unexpected.
Nope. Messenbrink was doing this childish crap the entire time.
Messenbrink needs more offense to be effective at the next level. He tried to counter-wrestle and did not attack on the mat, he saved it for out-of-bounds. I respect Valencias style, going down shooting. MM nearly got teched, wish JB had finished it early.
That was a whoopin'. Mitch should be glad it didn't go to blows.
3:02 Mesenbrink fugged up.
That was the only one that was acting by JB. Go back and watch it lol
@@justinflott5133 so what about when he shoved JB's face into the mat at 7:58? Some theatrics for sure but I'd be pissed too
7:58 is crazy. Absolutely zero reaction from the crowd even though it was a dick head move.
4:43 Manning's usa wrestling hat is mad fire.
You can tell the PSU crowd has no idea what they’re talking about. Messenbrink was wrestling past the whistle and almost throwing punches multiple times in the match, and then they want boo Burroughs because he “was disrespectful to our guy.” Idc what you think, if I had been shoved out, headbutted, and a guy refused to get off my leg when the action has stopped, I’d retaliate too. Burroughs knew he was winning, and he made it clear for Messenbrink to stop wrestling dirty, and then the second it happens with their guy they try throwing Burroughs under the bus like he sucks or he’s unsportsmanlike. Respect goes two ways, if you don’t respect him, he won’t respect you
JB punked that Askren look a like
Cael didn’t even budge after JB push smack 😂
Because he knows how Messenbrink is. Askren talkeda bout Messenbrink on FRL and that is just how he is. Its childish and absurd, but people know this by now, so I'm sure Cael doesn't get surprised when people retaliate against Mitchell.
@@tukeewc1880 Makes me wonder what is going on over there. PSU normally has calm and composed people but with his antics and their 125 deciding to throw a whining tantrum in the middle of the mat during action is embarrassing. Cael and Cunningham need to nip that in the bud before they have Desanto 2.0 on their hands.
Cael’s a statue, he never moves
@@MrGuanYu1 Which 125er threw a tantrum?
Carter isn't doing shit to Jordan. His teammate was out of pocket too many times and got checked for it. Puppies bark, dogs bite.
That wasn’t booing it was ignorance of the ref not correcting Mitchell.
he expect ta be friends on the mat giving high fives an shi like hell naaa😂😂
Hand shakes, hand slaps, all that is pretty common, even after you get warned for clubbing too hard, but a high five? No way, that's just childish troll stuff Messenbrink was attempting, and when JB didn't want to play along, Mitchell slapped him. Bad look for Messenbrink.
are they sure that they are both a match? MM looks like a first time on the competition mat whereas JB is so calm.
This is a grown man vs a kid not fair
I love JB, I would have done the same push. The only problem is that, that moment/action of “anger” and “fight” mentality probably cost him the “mentality” it took to take out Jason the next round. Just like in Rio. I saw the JB vs Jason match before this and kept wondering why I kept seeing “booing Burroughs” and when he lost that match, right away I thought of the Rio match where he was pushed. I actually think there is a link there. No more fighting!!! Haha
I disagree. I think something has been going on with Burroughs for a while now. He is exponentially way less active on the mat than before. It could definitely be age catching up to him, leading him to be more conservative in his moments. Or an injury that limits to what degree he can move, etc. At the same time age isn’t a factor that should stop him front faking, clubbing, snapping, etc. He’s very spaced out from the action. After he got his 7 against Messenbrink he stopped wrestling. And this isn’t new, I saw it when I watched Burroughs-Dake for the Olympic trials in person. And it’s what happened against Nolf. Nolf for sure got better as he adjusted to freestyle, but there are still levels to this game and JB has stayed up there for so long
Messenbrink is a clown 🤡 dude does the same stupid stuff in the NCAA finals and acts like he actually did something when he really didn’t.
Don’t see anything wrong w this tbh. A young hungry word class wrestler going against the GOAT. Wasn’t gonna be a friendly roll around. JB should’ve known that and should’ve j stayed composed
If Mitch wants to fight so bad put him in an MMA match.
As a LOOONG TIME PSU fan, i’m extremely dissapointed in the Penn State fans, Wrestlers and some coaches in this tournament.
Messenbrink wrestled far beyond the whistle in uncontinuation positions so many times and is not respecting who is probably the greatest American Wrestler of all time. No respect for the wrestler who has been carrying the torch for the sport for over a decade. Why not control the action and score takedowns instead of cheap shots after the whistle?
I expected Cael to control things a little more as one of the greats but maybe his hands are tied since hes more involved with collegiate. They should not be letting Bo Nickal on as a coach IMO. Bo has maturing to do and is also in the center of these incidents. he wasnt close to the level wrestler JB was and maybe bitter since he pivoted to mma.
The fan at the end walking over to JB after the final loss and screaming “now its over” was possibly the most classless act i’ve ever witnessed in sports fan history. That fan should be banned from attending any future wrestling events. I really hope someone took swift action on that.
Penn State 100% lost a fan and respect in my book after this. I will be re-allocating my support for a different Team as its dissapointing.
I’m sorry you are jaded and DUSGUSTED….have fun rooting for 2nd place.
Bo was a much better NCAA wrestler than JB ever was. JB won 2 titles, and quit another year do to an injury that wasn’t as bad as Carters.
Nobody realizes that PENN STATE fan has been primarily sitting in the same seat at Rec Hall for decades. I just lost a friend who had seen every home match since 1971….52 years in the same seat. The dedication of this fan base is unparalleled.
@@TimM-wk1zxNo one here is doubting the dedication of Penn State fan base…. The frustration here stems from the lack of respect for JB who has arguably contributed the most to the sport of wrestling in the US over the last decade. Just because someone isn’t from Penn St doesn’t mean you can’t show due respect- especially in a sport where this has long been a tradition. It is a bad look as Penn St is on the forefront in wrestling right now in terms of talent, yet seemingly choosing to play the bad guy in a sport of resect.
Come on now 😂😂
JB has done the most in everyone’s minds, BECAUSE HES WRESTLED TILL HES ALMOST 40….lol. Most guys with any wherewithal give this sport up before 30. “J’den Cox” JB did nothing on the world level while he was in College, and Carter is just starting that side of his life. JB is 14 years older than Carter.
Penn State fan is going to root for Penn State wrestlers. I’m sure DEEP DOWN Penn State fan doesn’t view Dake or Gilman as one of their own, but the inevitably root for them.
I’m sorry you feel s fan base can’t boo who they choose, and I don’t think that kids that want to excel in life and wrestling are going to shy away from going to Penn State….So what is ur point.
YOU are complaining on here, but a fan paying money can’t complain.
@@TimM-wk1zx
Lets refresh here… Jordan Burroughs is 35 years old. He is only two years older than both Taylor and Dake. In the time after turning 30, he has won two World Championships. JB won Olympic Gold at 23yrs old- directly following his senior year in college. Only two other American wrestlers have won Olympic gold at a younger age in the last 2 decades - Synder and Steveson. Regardless of this, using that fact that Jordan is “old” as an argument AGAINST that fact that he has done the most for American wrestling (as a wrestler) recently makes zero sense, no shit!
Penn State CAN boo whoever they choose, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the wrestling world needs to remain uncritical of it. In no way is this complaining- wrestling is just a game that we choose to assign value too, a boo wont hurt anyone- just to explain the frustration surrounding this incident through they eyes of the rest of the wrestling world. If your Penn State goggles diminish your ability to see the other side of your own argument, maybe touch grass.
Mesenbrink got up quick and then didn't want the smoke...
He knew he couldn't beat him by way of points so he tried to do so physically. JB beat his ass though.
Love it. Dude shouldve knocked that shit off earlier. Good on JB.
Ref was too timid.
Nothing Wrong here !!! JB won the match Clearly !!! 🤔 Seemed like a Legit match ... Extra Push ... Who cares they are wrestlers lol 🤣👍
Mesenbrink wrestles like he has Tourettes
🙏
The new kid has to grow up, his parents needed to teach him to respect his elders.
Weird seeing a national champion get sonned
I think Mesenbrink and Metcalf have the same ear doctor
JB did exactly what any man should of done he said the truth to kid stop punching my head with all those clubs messenbrink threw was uncalled for and made him look like a total scrub he looked desperate to setup any shot or strategy to win.
Mesenbrick was being a douche glad JB still one
Messenbrink went to arrowhead in high school so it explains a lot
Anyone there wanna know what happened post whistle where they still chirped at each other
I like Messenbrink, but he wrestled this match like he was a high school kid. Burroughs schooled him, pulling out some of the tactics the Russians and Iranians use, slowing down the match. If Messenbrink wants to be successful, he has a lot of maturing to do. He can’t wrestle like that at the international level. The Russians, Eastern Europeans, and Iranians won’t put up with that nonsense.
9:04
Some mind games like wrestling after the whistle and positioning in the center. Doesn’t work on veterans so well. I’m sure knowledgeable PSU fans saw that too. Wonder if they will wrestle again?
Mesenbrink spazzy kid acting just so. I wish JB the best. He's a hero and a role model.
Messenbrink did a damn good job, but seemed a little off his game in this match.
1:57
Unpopular popular opinion: i don't really have a problem with this match.
I get the impression Mesenbrink has studied Sidakov. He was overzealous with it though.
Excellent pace by Mesenbrink. Quite the Prospect still. Burroughs the Vet here, had the experience and patience to control the Match. Also More effective with his Attacks. Great defense by Mesenbrink though. Outstanding performance by both Wrestlers.
That kid is freaking annoying JB was totally in right.
Mesenbrink acted like he was the one up 8 - 0. That's really cocky behavior for someone getting whooped.
So Mesenbrick gets out of line the Penn state crowd cheers!! JB react to the kid’s terrible behavior and they’re booing, talking shit, and disrespecting the man who won our country “🇺🇸🥇7️⃣ major world titles”?! Other countries in the world don’t do this BS to their champions 😒 only in America… This is why other countries laugh at us…
Mesenbrink was way out of line here. Especially in front of such a prestigious wrestler like JB. The lack of respect is sickening. Im behind JB all the way.
First two points for JB should have been challenged. No exposure. Mesenbrink did not break 90. The guy that lifted his "2" in the background couldn't have even seen it from his perspective. What's his deal?
Love watching MM exciting wrestler. Love all of Penn state wrestling their far beyond all of the competition. Its to bad they're among the most obnoxious fans out there😂
Messenbrink was a little disrespectful. Pushing down on Jordan's head and continuing after the whistle. Noticed the pace was getting Jordan tired.
mesenbrink is physical he was not intimidated…i like that
JB has done more for wrestling than Penn State, for him to get this sort of treatment is horrible.
I can’t believe some of you people commenting on how Mesenbrink wrestled. I saw a kid wrestling a guy he highly respects and he was honored to wrestle. He was wrestling his fanny off. Mesenbrink frustrated the heck out of JB and he showed a dark side of himself that put a bad taste in my mouth. Nolf went out and beat the heck out of him, thankfully because Dake would have embarrassed him in the best of 3. I’m a huge fan of Mesenbrink now!! The kid is a buzzsaw that will only get better. He has the best coach on the planet so he definitely will reach his full potential, especially if he stays healthy.
MM ain’t mad so nobody else should be.
Tell thst to the PSU fans that were at the event lol
Of course he's not mad, he was the culprit.
9:04 боюсь представить чтобы началось если бы у нас так кто-то сделал 🤣🤣...
I like how MM is a freshman in college and he wasn’t scared of Jordan.
MM has some shady stuff there, but JB has been guilty of that too. Some are pretty subtle like the constant pulling of the socks against somebody who wants to have high pace, wrenching the fingers, and he is also known for clinging on the head.
It’s OK for one boo the other . in the end, I would’ve done the same, but step back just a minute I like both wrestlers and have all the respect in the world for the wrestler that JB is… but his time is over and he just doesn’t know it yet.,
I can’t speak for Mitchell but it just seems like he wanted to prove to JB that he’s a tough opponent and won’t accept defeat so easily to someone as high level like JB, hence why he was pushing the pace with the clubbing and such. JB unfortunately lost his cool with the hit. I respect JB as a legend of freestyle wrestling but I did lose some with what happened with Mitchell. It was pretty uncalled for and Mitchell was probably just getting lost in the match and couldn’t hear the whistle blow at 9:03, it happens to everyone. JB unfortunately is now gonna have to face the fact that he hit a college sophomore just because he was being a little rougher with him than his other opponents are usually.
I thought JB was wrong there. He lost his composure, and I expect that he will apologize for it after he has had a chance to decompress a little. That being said, I don't think he's gonna lose too much sleep over it with 10 world-level medals on his bed stand. Anybody who has wrestled hard has had an angry moment or two on the mat.
8:10 @@JamesJoyce1882
I was at Penn state Iowa last year 2023. My wife went to Penn state. I can guarantee you that 50% of the people in the arena had zero idea what was going on. This isn’t an Iowa fan saying that. Just a guy who wrestled who loves wrestling. So I agree with things being said. Mitchell is acting like a dbag here and I would have been fine with him getting laid out.
So glad the arrogant, conceited, cheap shot artist got shut out by Nolf. Such a big mouth yet he declined all interview requests after the skunking.
8:10 Messenbrink is such an angel 😇
i honestly dont see why JB got so upset at mesenbrink. its his own fault he lost his balance lmao
7:20 🤣🤣
The worst sportsmanship I have ever seen in any match. Mitchell will not get far operating that way.
Never liked wrestlers like Mesenbrink. Taking cheap shots throughout the match, and acts shocked when he's on the receiving end.
M needs to get a hearing aid so he can hear the whistle and stop and learn sportsmanship. losing the entire match and suddenly you are upset that the other person can avoid you and ride out to a win??? well why is he in that position.. maybe because he beat you like a ragdoll have some class.
The pen kid over did it it was childish
Wtf are you Pen State fans booing your guy was the dirty wrestler….
Both guys hand fight real hard. I don't have a problem with either. Mesenbrink wrestles like a punk. I really like that. He can go all day. JB also has been known to wrestle like a punk. I think Mesenbrink had it coming from JB. The only thing I have a problem with are these fuckwad PSU fans. You can't boo the sacred sock adjustment, you can't boo an American hero who does so much for the sport
For all you FLY BY NIGHT fans, fans that have never wrestled, OR sat through decades of home matches of ur favorite team, your complaining falls on deaf ears. Each person on that mat has their own style and their own personality. They are trying to win. These guys for the most part are the best of the best, and some are very young. JB is almost twice Mitchell’s age, and clearly past his prime. JB hasn’t won anything at the Olympic level for 12 years. Has anyone here not accomplished something they set out to do in 12 years? Fans are allowed to boo/cheer/whistle WHATEVER. And that fan base is super knowledgeable and has their favorites. The whining on here from armchair qb’s is shocking. I personally attended almost every rec hall match since 1979, and this fan base for the most part is fantastic. BTW….In addition to all the wrestling accolades currently, the TEAM CUMULATIVE GPA is 3.85.
Sounds like the only thing you set out to do & accomplished for the last 12 years is swill Pepsi & eat popcorn at the rec hall, probably yelling the wrong technique, thinking you actually know wrestling...
There is a way to go about cheering for your club, but don't disrespect a legend, have some class
Jason, nice to see ur clueless….NOT a soda or Booze drinker, but you should stop the latter. Wrestled for many years, and have been in rec hall since 1979….ppl throw the term legend and hero around pretty easily, and I think do so because they just don’t know. Legends are viewed as notorious also….In regard to overall wrestling, JB couldn’t make an all TOP 100 list in folk-style, and he hasn’t done anything in the Olympics in 12 years. But in interviews JB points a finger at Doping in sports as to why he hadn’t won more….Maybe, he should wrestle till he’s 40 or 50.
In regard to fans….Fans can boo or criticize anyone they choose….they paid for the seat, and in regard to ppl at rec hall, most have been there for 25 plus years. Myself since 1979. So ur theory on lack of knowledge or insight is out the window.
I know derp down somewhere you think you have an affiliation to JB, but you don’t. You think some 2 day tournament in Rio, is more valuable than 5 years of dedication to a college. I don’t.
Point is, root for whoever you choose, but don’t criticize someone else for their fan affiliations.
You're massively missing the point. Messenbrink wasn't just "wrestling his style", he was wrestling after the whistle, constantly, in fact four times that I counted before JB actually retaliated. Those are all cheap shots and aren't part of the sport. Messenbrink needs to be coached better and he needs to knock off this childish crap. We don't accept this from our youth club kids or our middle school and highschool kids, and there is no reason NLWC should accept it from Mitchell.
