Nickal recently objected to Burroughs’ comments during an NCAA wrestling championship match with Carter Starocci, a wrestler for the Penn State Nittany Lions. Talking candidly on the StaleMates Show, Nickal said:
“It’s not his moment so why take a guy’s fourth national title and one of the biggest moments in his career and make it about yourself? To me, it just shows his character. The thing that bothers me is that nobody sees this. He always tries to act like an ambassador of the sport and, ‘Oh, congratulations to Penn State, I’m so proud of you guys and what you’re doing.’ Bro, you’re a freaking fraud.”
The conversation between Nickal and Burroughs has provoked debates among the wrestling world. Reactions to Nickal’s audacious accusation that Burroughs is a “fraud” have been mixed; some people agree with him, while others doubt the veracity of his allegations.
The match between Nickal and Burroughs highlights the competitive spirit within the wrestling community. It highlights the rivalries that may develop between individuals who play the same sport, as well as the passion and intensity that propel athletes to pursue greatness.
