On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene give their thoughts and reactions to the recent Craig Jones Invitational. We discuss our experience at the event, our thoughts on the ruleset, why there was more passivity in the matches, why a "Wrestling Duals" format may be a better ruleset, the controversy of whether Giancarlo Bodoni tapped out, the different roles of the athletes in the Quintet format, day 1 standout performances, our thoughts on day 1 of CJI. We also give our thoughts on the "passivity call" against "Hulk" Barbosa, what constitutes a "10-8" round, the benefits of "open scoring," our thoughts on the 47-47 final score and the tie breaker, and what we would like to see at a future CJI event.
