Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Tyler Graebner, Let's not Loose Focus

Sometimes, in the so called humor of posting we need to remember what wrestling is all about. Two individuals gave indication to that this last weekend. I just finished speaking to T.C. and will say that his comments on a national level are very legit, as are Eric's love for Tyler. While it is okay to have fun, I believe that some have forgotten about the spirit that Tyler and his family left us. Here is a post I made regarding what T.C. and Eric did for Tyler.

Young Tyler Graebner was represented at the World Team Trials by Runner-Up Eric Akin and Champion T.C. Dantzler. Both wrestlers wrestling and dedicating the tournament in part to Tyler exceeded everyone's expectations. I am so proud of these two men, both Eric who I have learned to call friend and brother, and T.C. who not even being from Kansas has also done so much for Tyler and the foundation. Both men will be serving on the Tyler Graebner Foundation, with Eric as a Board Member and T.C. as a Advisory Board Member. Just want to say right now, that a young 8-year-old still found ways to bring people together the World Team Trials shows how much he influenced the best of American Wrestlers.

T.C. as in TCarmona?

T.C. as in Thomas Dantzler, World Champion baddest Greco thrower on the planet.

His teabagging of an opponent is the funniest thing.

Especially with all of the replays and slo mo.

... and to think that T.C. nearly was dq'd for his "powerbomb" (as described by the older young Edison) of an opponent on Saturday!

THey have rules against slams? I thought that was the name of the game in freestyle and greco?

I agree Swayz, Should be able to slam with as much force as you can muster.

Furches you say as talking to me is a bad thing...

All I know is that the Army coaches were yelling brutality and he did lose a point for the manuever!

I'll explain. T.C. was doing a reverse lift position, got the lift, and without kicking the guy out, brought his straight down on top of his head. Quite dramatic!!

Huh? What the heck you talking about. As you get older, like me, you can't figure things out. Of course all of the extra curricular activities of my youth don't help any.

t.c. didn't mean u so talkin to u probobaly is a bad thing.

Just kidding furches. I know if you didn't have nate I would be your favorite child! Jenni wouldn't give me up that easy.....

TCarmona, if I didn't have Nate my daughter would be my favorite child. You can be my favorite step-child. Of course that would be kind of odd, Me your dad and Ms. Jenni your mom. My brain is starting to fry trying to figure that one out.

But Mike, I thought I was your favorite step child.

You're more like a son Chenoweth.

Oh I am the kid you don't like to talk about.......I understand!

Mike likes me more than you, ha ha ha ha ha.
