Tervel Dlagnev » JD Bergman Vlog-Sportsmanship, Standards, Ohio RTC, and a Heath Update

call the waaaaaambulence.....no wonder we have a crap world team when our top guy at 211 is a cry-baby......SHUT UP

Does anyone else see the humor behind a few tough guys talking on the internet to a guy who actually has the skill and work ethic to be one of the best wrestlers in the USA? You all sound like a bunch of cowards, honestly.

I mean the video clearly shows the guy punched him in the face repeatedly. You if you can't see that, you probably received an Iowa education.
...the two words flowrestling wants me to type to prove I'm not a spammer are "tervel wins." How about that?

Mocco is a fag. Don't defend him.

JD, let me give you some public media advice: don't preface your criticism of Mocco by stating that 'he's your friend'....it's lame, and nobody cares. So what if he's your friend, the guy behaved like a maladjusted prepubescent idiot. Nobody with any freakin' sense is going to defend Mocco on this one, so don't worry about sounding "objective" by declaring him a friend. He behaved like a jerk. In other words, he was a complete moronic butthead out-of-control poor-sport loser fool. Call it like it is and leave it at that.

Link the video?

Good points, JD. I just watched the Dlagnev -- Mocco match, and I can't believe Mocco wasn't immediately disqualified.

Bergman probably needs a injury time after talking this much

I agree, if consequences were enforced... Like fines, disqualifications, strong warnings that insist that the next match with such actions means being band from competing for a number of tournaments... Something along those lines should at least make people think before wrestling dirty, if there are no boundaries why wouldn't guys start punching and stepping outside the line of acceptable wrestling like in the Mocco Dlagnev match. What if he would have broken Dlagnev's nose or knocked a tooth out? Who is liable for that? Would it still have been brushed off that it was just Mocco's tough hand fighting so no big deal? People need to quit trying to defend these types of unacceptable actions no matter who the wrestler is, I'm sure Mocco isn't the only guy who has gotten away with this in our country. It's embarrassing.

you are so soft. how did you rep us at the worlds??
tarvel closed up the whole match, so mocco got flustered. he does not need a girl to come and defend him. someone should post brand's olympic semi's match. see what a real wrestler does when his opponent punches him.

Tervel is the champ where it counts and glad he didn't give in the the other wrestler's lack off wrestling technique or proper punching for that matter...guess mma is out for steve too.

Next year at Carver Hawkeye Arena they're gonna add a special item to the concessions menu strictly for Ohio State fans:

The Ohio State Wha-a-a-a-a-a-a-amburger with French Cries

Also, at the door the CHA staff will be handing out FREE TISSUES to anyone wearing Ohio State colors!

Should be a good time!

First of all you need to understand why they don't shake hands. Iowa (and almost all other college programs) do not shake hands when they win either (which is 99.9% of the time). Shaking hands is overrated and not necessary, especially at that level. I hate watching UFC when they hug each other afterwards, that is just gay. No way would I hug a guy that just knocked me out because I would be pissed, because I'm competitive. Shaking hands is for fags and for people who accept 2nd place with pride. The Brands Bros are competitive, that is the winning mentality... not shaking hands comes with the territory, they are not in the sport to make friends they are in the sport to win. Dan Gable did the same thing, it's the same philosophy... a winning mentality that their guys are bought into. Tom Brands calls it and i quote "the Gable Edge." Where would wrestling be without the Iowa Wrestling dynasty and the "Gable Edge".... well I hate to say this but it may not be in existence.

With all due respect, I like Steven Mocco, but his actions were over the line and should have been dealt with by USA wrestling in some way. With all due respect, I don't like JD Bergman, but his point is valid....what I said "all due respect", it's in the Geneva convention.

USA Wrestling needs to subcontract the video coverage to FLO. Poor video, poor camera control, No editing, No tags….Half A$$

I love how Iowa gets fired up, but the coaching staff looked bad at NCAA’s this year. It is one thing to be fired up and fight for your guy, but when everything is done, to be yelling at officials, not shake hands is no good. And in the case of Zadic actually having to be held back from attacking another coach, on the floor no less, is something that needs addressed.
