Apparently he’s considering an offer to join WWE
Just seen that too..
He was our big hope to win gold at Super HW in the Olympics but then lost his first fight.
Not many who know the ams thought he would win gold.Controversial wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:19He was our big hope to win gold at Super HW in the Olympics but then lost his first fight.
Ah ok, I didn’t really know of him until the Olympics was approaching, overrated then?mickey1975 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:31Not many who know the ams thought he would win gold.Controversial wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:19He was our big hope to win gold at Super HW in the Olympics but then lost his first fight.
He's obviously good but loses a few on the international circuit.Controversial wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:57Ah ok, I didn’t really know of him until the Olympics was approaching, overrated then?mickey1975 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:31Not many who know the ams thought he would win gold.Controversial wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 12:19

WWE is a much, much harder career and a lot harder to get to the top, apparently.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 16:23 really interesting heritage/background too, born in Russia, Nigerian dad, raised in England from 7.

I'd be interested to know if he's been offered a proper salaried WWE contractual offer or a place in their developmental territories. He's 6'6" so definitely big enough for WWE.
I think it used to be, wrestling over 200 days a year, I think the exposes about the PEDS, painkillers and wider addiction issues, alongside the McMahon debacle has in recent years made it a gentler ride once you are there. IF you get there. There is more light shone on the excesses of it now.mickey1975 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 16:40WWE is a much, much harder career and a lot harder to get to the top, apparently.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 16:23 really interesting heritage/background too, born in Russia, Nigerian dad, raised in England from 7.

The guy who won the olympic gold medal for wrestling didn't make it, not an easy way to make a living especially for someone new to the gamemickey1975 wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 16:40WWE is a much, much harder career and a lot harder to get to the top, apparently.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑02 Oct 2024, 16:23 really interesting heritage/background too, born in Russia, Nigerian dad, raised in England from 7.

He went to AEW after they first formed.Controversial wrote: ↑03 Oct 2024, 08:57 Anthony Ogogo went into wrestling didn’t he, don’t think WWE though and not sure how he’s doing with it,
I don’t know anything about wrestling, I’m of an age where I watched Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks on a Saturday morning.

Would he beat Dave Allen over 10?TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑05 Feb 2025, 15:56 Orie isn't good. He will be put on a spree of KOing cans and hyped but then exposed the first time he steps up.
It is called Fisherism.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑05 Feb 2025, 15:56 Orie isn't good. He will be put on a spree of KOing cans and hyped but then exposed the first time he steps up.
I imagine so as Allen can't string punches together after 3-4 rounds and has to spend those 3-4 rounds shipping punches. Fisher is just so completely awful that he couldn't beat Allen without a robbery but Orie should have enough to get past Allen but that's not saying much. I'd take Jay McFarlane and Kash Ali to beat Allen.Coco wrote: ↑05 Feb 2025, 18:41Would he beat Dave Allen over 10?TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑05 Feb 2025, 15:56 Orie isn't good.
