How excited are you about Gable Stevenson?

Eh, I'm interested but nothing I've seen from him since he left wrestling has impressed me. Need to see him against better MMA comp obviously. I'd agree that if he's remotely close to what people think he is he'll have an interesting career.
 
Seems mma wasn’t his preferred choice. The guy tried everything to avoid going the mma route (other than just get a normal job) and fell back to this as his last plan
He wasn't known enough like Brock to get a proper WWE push... they even had him go to a draw with a jobber in his big fight debut...
 
He tag teamed a drunk chick with his buddy. She wanted to see what an Olympic gold medal BBC was like and cried rape when she sobered up. A tale as old as time.
This happened to a friend of mine in college, him and his buddy tag teamed a chick several times and when one night they got walked in on and ppl found out she was banging 2 dudes at once she cried rape to save face from being an absolute whore. It came out that she had been doing it for some time with the 2 of them and wasn't the first 2nd or 5th time she had been over for the spit roast they got off, From the charges that is.

You have been anointed a white knight as well, ride on my man.
 
Look into the case or shut the fuck up honestly I don't really joke around about chicks getting raped but do you

Give us a link. I don't see anything about a cover up in the news articles. Just that the DA didn't have the evidence to charge, and a hint that she was drunk (and the explanation that they can't charge for that in Minnesota).

What’s publicly known about the allegation/case (2019)​

  • June 2019: University of Minnesota wrestlers Gable Steveson and Dylan Martinez were arrested on suspicion of criminal sexual conduct after a woman reported she had been raped and went to a hospital for treatment.
  • Early reporting described a 911 call placed by a friend, and (per a Minneapolis police report summarized by the Star Tribune) an allegation that the victim was sexually penetrated with an object; the victim’s identity was not made public.
  • The wrestlers were suspended under the university’s student-athlete code while the criminal investigation continued.
  • Dec. 20, 2019: Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced no criminal charges, citing “inadequate evidence” and conflicting accounts—and said he would not release incident details to avoid “re-victimizing the victim.” He referenced evidence like interviews and forensics/DNA, and the case being hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • After the no-charge decision, the university lifted the suspensions and said the athletes were immediately eligible to rejoin team activities.

The “cover-up” accusation — what it’s usually pointing to, and what evidence exists​

When people say “cover-up” here, they typically mean one of two things:
  1. A prosecutor/justice-system cover-up (i.e., special treatment so charges wouldn’t be filed).
    What we can verify publicly cuts against a true cover-up: there were arrests, months of investigation, and then a public press event announcing declination with an explanation. Freeman also said the case was reviewed by veteran sex-assault prosecutors.
    What we do not have publicly is the full investigative/prosecutor file, so outsiders can’t independently evaluate whether the evidence truly fell short—lack of transparency fuels suspicion, but it isn’t proof of suppression.
  2. A university/Title IX (EOAA) cover-up (i.e., the school burying discipline or findings).
    Reporting at the time noted that a university EOAA/Title IX process would generally require a complaint, and accounts also say it was unclear whether a Title IX investigation occurred.
    Because student discipline records are typically confidential, the absence of public findings can look like a cover-up even when it’s just privacy rules—but, again, there’s no widely reported documentation (emails, whistleblowers, findings of interference, etc.) establishing an actual cover-up.

Why the “intoxication loophole” became part of this story​

Freeman specifically said Minnesota’s laws on intoxication/consent constrained charging options.
At the time (2019), Minnesota’s definition of “mentally incapacitated” required a substance be administered without the person’s agreement, which did not cleanly cover voluntary intoxication. This interpretation was later reinforced in State v. Khalil (Minn. Supreme Court, 2021), and Minnesota lawmakers publicly pushed to close that gap. The statute has since been amended (the current definition includes broader language about intoxication impairing ability to consent, and the statute history shows a 2021 special-session update).

Bottom line on the cover-up claim: based on reliable public reporting and official sources, there’s strong evidence of a controversial non-charging decision and limited transparency, but not documented evidence of an actual cover-up (in the strict sense of hidden actions proven to suppress or obstruct the case).

even lost to a younger guy in arguably the biggest upset of wrestling history...
Rulon Gardner would like a word. Even with the word arguably stuck in there, that is a ridiculous statement. There is no argument. Karelin hadn't lost in 13 years and hadn't even had a point scored on him in over 6 years coming into their match and had previously smoked Gardner. It's not just considered the biggest upset in wrestling history, but one of the biggest in sports history. Odds were giver as high as 200-1. For reference, Tyson vs. Douglas was around 45-1.

yeah i forgot about that one.

but this one was pretty big too
 
Excited isn't a word I use anymore for my combat sports interests but I always look forward to promising young American wrestlers, especially the ones who got some pop in their punches. After all these years I don't hold my breath when there's a lot of hype but it's good to have them.

These guys need to come in and be pushed to beat as many (old)big names as possible. That's how it's always been for a healthy existence of the sport.
 
I know it's mind boggling but it's actually Steveson :p.

And yes, I'm hyped.
 
And you're white knighting a dumb drunk bitch who wanted to get spit roasted and woke up regretting her decisions. Dumbasses like you should face consequences for slandering an innocent mans name.

I'll make sure to tell Gable what a dedicated cock guzzler you've been during the trial brother
 
it depends if he thinks he's going to become a striker, or khabib it.

he can attain at best, B level striking, or maintain an S+ wrestling advantage/gameplan.

problem is these americans all want to become strikers once they get a taste.
