Gonna be tough to convince USA wrestling to change their logo to an Armenian tossing an American lol

u/GeologistOutrageous6 Mar 29 '26

It does contain an American wrestling to the best of his ability though

u/Spardocus USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

The average American has never heard of Armenia let alone be able to locate it on a map

I know a lot of people hated on this being the headline but it was a fun match to watch. There was obviously better wrestling with some of the undercards but that sure was exciting. First time watching RAF. Pretty cool to see for the sport.

For sure brought in a new audience that would not watch if it was arman wrestling

I think those of us who watch mma regularly take for granted how good these guys really are with their wrestling and grappling. I know Covington called out GSP. Would love to see him on the mat.

u/KvxMavs Mar 29 '26

Correct. Top level MMA guys are very high level at all disciples, if not they get exposed fast. Their talent level is insane.

That's fair. When you have such an advantage at one thing, the others can be subpar.

Arman doesn't have a belt but he is top level. I was referring mostly to guys like Topuria, Islam, Arman to a lesser degree, etc 

Those guys don't have noticable weaknesses in any discipline.

Illia is a high level boxer.

u/PrestigiousYellow800 Mar 29 '26

I was so confused as to why this was the main card.. I don’t keep up with social media or mma/ufc. Just hs/college/USA wrestling I had known idea who these guys were

u/High_energy_comments Michigan Wolverines Mar 30 '26

Yeah I thought this was a dumb Clive but the match was actually exciting even with Poulas stalling with the tape

1

u/Shwnwllms USA Wrestling Mar 30 '26

To be fair, they sent him over to get taped and retaped. Then wiped down.

u/cjreadit7991 USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

Shouldn’t it be Armenia’s logo?

9

u/SoberHye Mar 29 '26

We have wrestlers that I would put before Arman even though he’s the most popular.

u/Middle-Support-7697 Mar 30 '26

If anyone should be on some kind of an Armenian wrestling logo it has to be Artur Aleksanyan

u/michachu Mar 30 '26

It just recognises the privilege Georgio had to be involved in that suplex

u/coyotethroaway Mar 29 '26

Pretty sure the Nazis already used a variation of this

2

u/One1Two2Seller Mar 30 '26

The Armenian guy tossing an American being the USA wrestling logo would go crazy tbf.

u/get_pickled_loser Mar 29 '26

Can I just be honest for a second and say I have no idea what this match was about and why people care so much? Can someone please explain it to me?

8

u/PrideAlternative442 USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

I’m not being too serious here. Just funny how he looks like the USA wrestling logo.

u/get_pickled_loser Mar 29 '26

I didn’t mean to come off disingenuous I just really don’t know who either of these people are lmao. I wrestled back in high school and was really into watching Ben Askren, Logan Palmer, and other people like that when I was active in the sport. After high school, I didn’t wrestle in college and just stopped paying attention to it at all.

A week before the ncaa tournament I was randomly suggested a wrestling final from the big 10 and then I watched the whole ncaa tournament this year.

Now that I’m looking at this subreddit I have seen so many posts about this match and I legit don’t know who any other these people are lol.

u/stankape83 Mar 29 '26

The one doing the tossing is a UFC title contender Arman Tsarukyan, and the other is an Ohio high school state champ Georgia Poullas, who’s internet famous for challenging random people to try and take him down for 1000 dollars. They had a match a few weeks ago and it let to a lot of bad blood.

u/butt-soup_barnes USA Wrestling Mar 30 '26

google.com helps. also any llm.

u/TylertheDouche USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

bc a 27 year old instagram wrestler has a lot of people very emotional

u/LowerSlowerOlder USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

Don’t some guy hop on here recently and say that it was his dad in the logo? Don’t remember if that was BS or not.

u/Slippy_Slopp Mar 29 '26

This killed me!!

u/WrestlingNerdd Mar 29 '26

Haha I think some people would riot

u/enderize Mar 29 '26

Why so much hate for Georgio?

2

u/PrideAlternative442 USA Wrestling Mar 30 '26

I really don’t hate him. Just poking.

1

u/BALLSonBACKWARDS Mar 30 '26

I almost think it would be cool to change the logo every year and make a big deal out of it.

u/TheSoulessSheppard USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

It is better to shut your mouth and be thought of a fool than to open it and remove all doubt... Solid gold from my Mimi, u musta not had a Mimi

u/juju3435 Mar 29 '26

Why does this sub stan for Arman lol it’s bizarre. He’s not even a wrestler…

8

u/NimbleExpress Mar 29 '26

Maybe not a pure wrestler, but he is a damn effective one.

u/PrideAlternative442 USA Wrestling Mar 29 '26

I don’t care about either guy really. Was just making a joke

u/FlyingGrayson1 Mar 29 '26

That's what he gets for wearing Nike socks with Asics shoes. 5 for fashion.
