I couldn’t agree with Johnni more. Having the National tournament the same time as March Madness is just killing the opportunity to get new viewers.
Seriously they need a new time because March madness is one of the biggest sports events period not just college
@@ghostrunner2138 exactly what new fan is gonna watch wrestling over March Madness?
I think Johnni should be a regular part of the show. He's a pretty entertaining guy. Love the energy.
This is the kind of discussions that the world needs! 🙏
At the 1:23:40 they talked about LA classic. I wrestled in it this year. I got better. I didn’t win. But I got better. I wrestled the best in the state and got some big time mat time. I was stoked to hear Gilroy was coming. I got to see some of the best in the sport in my home state and it was sick. Winning isn’t everything, but it sure is fun. And getting better is even better than winning (sometimes).
Stop the presses...found someone who talks more than Bo. Love the podcast...another winner dudes.
This guest loves the sound of his voice.
Lmaooo
Go buckeyes
@@johnni.dijulius awesome talk man I never knew much about jumping before
From a casual wrestling fan's standpoint, I think every single of Johnni's ideas would help grow the sport tremendously. Also, it seems like the way to determine a better team is to go head to head. I think there is more strategy involved with the way majors, pins and wins are scored. Also, you would likely see more people shifting weights to win the team score. In regards, to the the current format, I am not really keeping track of the losers bracket during the tournament or ever, but not having a team race at NCAAs would probably destroy the backside of the bracket. Which would probably mean you would have to lower the number of all Americans at each weight - I know its really easy for a bum like me to say, and I know guys work really hard, but honestly the appeal know who ranks 5-8 really isnt there for me anyway.
Also, want to add I think it would destroy the backside of the bracket because you would see more people just medically forfeiting after they lost.
@@tommccartney9520I agree. it wouldn’t be much different than seeing star players refusing to play in bowl games that don’t mean much
Greatest podcast of all time. The energy Johnni brings it a lot and it's probably the sugar but I'd like to see him on here a lot more Bo. Make it happen man
Johnny spitting out here on marketing the sport.. get this guy into the NCAA meetings
Start wrestling 2nd semester in January. NCAAs in April Get all the attention.
My kid did a camp last summer with Johnny dude is just a happy free spirit. Great guy.
Edit- it was probably the camp right around the base jump off the bridge in Idaho. Pocatello Id
Most of the suggestions to improve NCAA wrestling have already been mentioned (dual tournament national champions . But what was intriguing was the idea of two piece suits. This past season, I saw Northwest Kansas Tech wrestle in a two piece suit. At first, I thought it was a weird type of singlet. It wasn't until I saw a scramble where the shirt rode up a little that I realized it was a two-piece. In short, the concept works, it has been field tested. But another advantage of a two-piece uniform (that wasn't mentioned) is that schools can sell replica wrestling jerseys (just like football, basketball, and hockey). How cool would it be to see kids running around with a Bo Nickel replica jersey (you can't wear a replica singlet in public). It would also help with marketing and making money
Best guest so far, loved the ideas for ncaa’s and the only thing from what Johnni said would be to let the champs from the year before host nationals
I agree with the headgear and singlets. The ONLY thing anybody would say about wrestling is “you roll around with sweaty dudes in leotards” make two pieces the norm and make it more of a mma/self defense stepping stone
The singlet doesn't get twisted up in scrambles & become a hindrance like a 2 piece set up does.no inadvertent hands getting tangled in there either. Gotta stick with a singlet. It does serve a purpose
@@dramaking9377compression shirts/shorts won’t get twisted up
Singlets are way cooler than the alternatives. Wrestling would look less cool with rashguards and bball shorts or apeing an MMA outfit. People used to come out to watch catch wrestling with the mankinis
I love the idea of eliminating singlets in High School. So many kids don't wrestle because they are worried about people seeing their wiener size.
Folkstyle is 100% a better sport
G-d stop interrupting Nickal.
You get 30,000 people every year for the Nationals AND it doninates the ratings on its timeslot. This conversation is a panic experiment about shit that isnt wrong and doesnt need fixed.
I grew up wrestling but hardly ever watching it. I watched March Madness and filled out all my brackets every year.
I am 46. In the last ten years, i have watched one NCAA Basketball Tournament.
But i have watched EVERY NCAA Wrestling tournament.
Why? Because its freaking awesome. Basketball is watered down with one and done guys......no fundamentals, no defense and entitled AAU crybabies.
Wrestling is that raw, natural competition and it damn near means everything to compete at Nationals. All the marbles are on the line.
Basketball doesnt offer that. Those guys are playing for the NBA and aren't giving their all.
Good Dude Shut Up Sometimes!!!!
I’m such a conservative traditionalist. I don’t like these changes.
You a bot
@@thewilliamford9803 - def not.
Singlet has to stay. It serves a purpose functionally. I like baiting new fans in tho. At the end of the day wrestling still happens. Just better off done during a different slower time frame with better scoring & more weight classes IMO
@@dramaking9377 - weight classes should be set off of a % increase from the class below rounded to the nearest half lb.
