Penn State wrestling star Carter Starocci speaks with media, including NSN’s Joe Smeltzer, about a variety of topics, including what happened at the end of the match between Jordan Burroughs and Mitchell Mesenbrink, on Day 2 of the U.S. Olympic Trials Saturday, April 20, 2024.
Jordan never said he would try to “hurt”your injured leg. He said he would “attack it” to win just like Bo will in a cage with a guy who is hurt someplace. Mitch attacked JB after the whistle all match and was hit 10 seconds in with a club … nice omission.
this non sens disrespect against jb needs to stop
Are you kidding JB was an ass yesterday pushing people and yelling at the crowd
this young man, Carter S, sounded great until he said "if it was me I would have spit in his face." That was a real misstep and I'm sure his coaches do not appreciate that. Messenbrink did the right thing and it made JB's actions look juvenile. This statement kind of mucks it up. I think all that hype about the knee comments played a role in JB's energy. He looked low and he looked uninterested; frustrated and a little defeated. I feel bad for JB but wrestling the way he was would not have been enough in France.
Did anyone watch the JB NOLF match….what disrespectful act did the fans commit? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@TimM-wk1zx saw the match didn't hear anything about the fans. I'm guessing it had to do with shoving Messenbrink's head in the prior match - calling him a villain. Kinda tough to wrestle the trials there if you're at odds with some of the Nittany Lion guys.
@@TimM-wk1zxafter the match, there were fans heckling him shouting "career is over." Pretty disrespectful
Jordan Burroughs is the absolute man forever. He should have eternal respect and admiration for his accomplishments. Imo? Disrespecting JB's skills, accomplishments and personality reflects negatively upon the person and/or people doing so.
The disparity between Carter and Aaron Brooks is like night and day. Brooks would never play into this; he would make you pay on the mat
9:00 Here's the question that leads to the headlining statement for the video.
Thank you
Fisrt off, Storroci is right in this interview and I like him... Second.... Penn States whole crew has been nothing but ungrateful and disgusting to the man that did the most for Wrestling in America in the last decade (Burroughs). At Iowa, they cheered whoever won and never booed, because they understood that this is the Olympics we're talking about - it's not a college match. We're all on Team America, and Penn State fans need to learn that. Give respect where it's due, and it's due to Burroughs. And Storocci is right, we need entertainment in this sport and Penn State does their best to suppress any personality. The worst interviews in the NCAA are with these guys (who're good guys albeit: Greg K. Aaron Brooks, their 125, etc.). Look, I'm a devout Christian man myself, thank God, but quit saying you don't care about winning. It's the opposite of exciting, and you do care. Storroci is the only guy making things interesting. Thank you, Carter.
If being a Christian is calling ppl ungrateful and disgusting, I DONT WANNA BE A CHRISTIAN. The bottom line is, EVERYONE can’t be on the team, and people can root for whoever they chose. JB was a 2 time National champ and quit one year due to an injury that wasn’t as bad as Carters. In Folkstyle, JB isn’t in the top 25 of all time NCAA wrestlers. Penn State fans don’t need to learn anything, especially from the biggest hypocrite online. Now go throw some holy water at your tv, and send some more money to Joel O’Steen.
How about you stop being so sensitive. Penn state fans stuck up for Penn state wrestlers. Stop whining. Let’s not act like JB was a saint here. When you act like an ass you will get treated like one, especially when you show up to the hometown of the team you’re being an ass too. Stop whining.
It's cool to talk . But he needs to do something on a world level. 🌎
Tell me what JB did at the WORLD level while in College….Let me answer that for you….NOTHING Factually, JB lost 20 matches in high school AND lost 20 in College. JB was a one time State Champ, and 2 time NCAA Champ. Carter was a 2 time state champ, and was also 2nd and 8th as a freshman. Carter lost 8 matches in HS. Carter won 4 NCAA Championships and if he wouldn’t have medically forfeited had a 100 match win streak. JB took off a year for a knee injury in College, and Carter wrestled through a torn ACL and beat 2 prior National Champs in the process. To criticize Carter for not doing anything on the world level yet, is super hypocritical when comparing it to JB doing nothing either. Lastly, I don’t think that Nebraska wrestling team was setting any academic records during JB’s timeframe, when this current Penn State team has a cumulative GPA of 3.85 and were recognized for that Nationally. Know ur facts
@@TimM-wk1zx Jesus loves you anyway
We gotta get Carter and Kerk back for their final season !!!!
You disrespect expect it back. Starocci has the right mind set. It’s just talk/eye for eye. What matters is the circle/mat nothing else. It does get the general public excited.
JB just got emotional and punked the young kid. It’s wrestling. Worse has happened. Carter says he would have spit in his face but I doubt that. I would think Penn State gave him more class than that. JB got served by nolf so that’s punishment enough. it is what it is. JB goes down as top two or three ever to do it. Probably the best ever because of his era and the competition. But he probably does have an ego complex because he can’t let go of the fact that he was so great and has an addiction for the glory. So many others before him suffered from the same psychosis. Michael Jordan comes to mind and it’s ironic how they share a similar name. Anyhow. None of this is a dis to JB. I was rooting for him to crush nolf and dake. But he should just concede like cox and hang up the shoes with his head held high. His legacy will always remain.
Nolf should beat burroughs he will bs 36 in July.
Well said brother…well said.
can be at the top level for ever.. JB would have gotten smoked by dake too.. if dake gets gold in Paris, he has to be in the discussion for one of the greats. JB has two ncaa champs. Dake has four in two different weight classes. But this younger generation watch out!! Great time to be a wrestling fan
And that sir is a fair statement.
I think he could make one more solid run at a world championship medal at 79kg. He’s probably the second best at 74kg but I don’t see him beating Dake again. The interesting thing is that I doubt Dake would’ve gotten to his current level without the necessity of having to catch up with JB. I think that’s why he respects him.
No need to be chippy when getting your butt handed to you He was being a punk asking to be pushed so JB pushed him
You need to learn so respect. Glad to see Hidlay get the W at the trials! You can’t shake hands after losing!
Great person. Teammates. Athlete.
This kid...ALWAYS entertaining. On and off the mat.
Carter is the new Mike Tyson 😅 His interviews are unmatched for brutal honesty. His personality used to bother me but now I enjoy his interviews
Cater has done nothing out side the USA. Mike was a world champion
And went to prison for raping a woman
Mike ended up in prison. Went to prison with MILLIONS, and 3 years later was broke.
Don’t compare this guy to Mike Tyson lmao. Nowhere near the same “brutality”
@@TimM-wk1zx Has more money now than he ever did
Wow, I’ve never heard Starocci. He’s awesome!!!! What character!!!
He couldn't hold Jordan's jock strap. What a jerk to talk trash to the USA'S greatest wrestler of all time. Pure trash against pure class!
The USA’s greatest wrestler won how many NCAA Championships?
@@TimM-wk1zx JB won two, John won two, Bruce won one, Gable won two. Who do you have as the greatest American wrestler? Bo Nickal? Dude, the Olympics and the World Championships are the pinnacles of wrestling. Nobody told you that? If you are counting college why not include high school and middle school too? How about the local championship at your local YMCA?
😂 you’re so right
@@JamesJoyce1882 JB is certainly not the greatest US wrestler, perhaps in his own mind and apparently yours. I would absolutely throw Cael well ahead of Jordan Burroughs and Gable as well, how about Brands? These guys not only won, but they also coached and developed others to win too ..... JB is way down the list, nobody told you that? And college does matter my guy, it is the gateway in the US to international wrestling.... including the Olympics, Lecture is over.
@@scott729 What college did Henry wrestle at? You know nothing “my guy”. Yeah college matters - it matters to people who never won anything after college. There are hoards of multiple time NCAA champions who never even made a team! What’s next? You are gonna tell us about your glory days back in high school? As for coaching. That’s nice. When Cael was twelve I told him to throw a whizzer against a single leg. That makes me the greatest wrestler of all time!
As with most Penn State wrestlers Carter has a very high opinion of himself. Carter was at the trials and had a chance to make the team. That did not happen. Carter also had the opportunity to face burroughs, but could not or would not make weight. If and this is highly unlikely Carter even comes close to Jordans accomplishments, then he may have a respected opinion. Until that time keep your mouth shut and stop over daddy Caels for some reasurement that you are the best.
Agreed
You cant be mad at JB for pushing mesenbrink off of him when mesenbrink was holding onto his legs for no reason way after the whistle 😭
Yes, yes, and more yes. College Westling is a huge machine. But why do so many people shoot for more? They want to get on that plane. Many will never make it, but it’s really is so next level, and does separate the men from the boys. Take daton fix for example. No disrespect but he’s finished. He did get one silver world but he can’t beat present competition. He has the collegiate record nobody wants. Second. The next level is the shit. And the only point is that JB (and Taylor for that matter), dominated it. Gable Stevenson I wished came out. But anyhow, I bring this all up just to highlight the greatness of Jordan Burroughs. Both as a competitor and ambassador of the sport. He woke this all back up. Who in the 90’s was really into college wrestling? Wrestling families and that’s it. Jordan Burroughs helped transcend the sport from an interest level. Women’s wrestling has soared! I don’t want to say Jordan Burroughs did that alone, but he surely was a helpful piece with reviving wrestling culture. He has earned respect but it also might have gone to his head.
He’s right the higher ups are horrible at making wrestling viewable for the average viewer could change 10 things right now and start the long process of growing the sport starting with fixing tournaments
60/40 he IS coming back-interesting.
Got his shi% together
Oh Nebraska football knows you're in enemy lines at Penn State, and I heard some lady got fired for saying about Sandusky.
Nebraska's coach is a Penn State grad!!!
God bless you cugine !!
Jb is King Kong. 6 time 7 world champion , Olympic champion.
Yeah he is a beast but his ego is hurting bad right now and he is letting everyone know it. He claims to be a Christian so he should abide to what Christ says and humble himself.
@@christianb164Exactly, "all he sees is gold". It has become an idol.
Never .. need disrespect.. pat Downey ..got guts
Pat Downey is a junkie
These young guns are coming for these vets. No one is safe
He already having a better career then jb wrestling wise
I love Starocci but for him to say he could sit on the couch for years and come back off the couch and dominate made me laugh! He must not understand how many of us wrestlers thought that and have tried it and guess what happens? It usually 9/10 does NOT work out like we thought it would! I dont care how good and how in shape you were in your prime, you're not sitting on the couch for 2 or 3 years, jumping off the couch with a month of training and gonna be that same wrestler! It just doesn't happen in this sport its too grueling and competitive for that! Unlike any other sport, your using muscles that you dont even realize your using and its just a whole different animal! Made me laugh though because I thought that same way when I was younger lol
Nine outta Ten guys didn’t win 4 NCAA titles.
Will never approach JB’s achievements
Spit in his face? Come on man. This whole hate on Jordan reeks of jealousy.
It's jealousy and always has been💯
It’s definitely jealousy
the 4 time natty champ jealous😂
@@gavingonzales9854 I mean people are saying Jordan is the greatest to ever do it and no matter what he does people stand behind him, they quite literally could be jealous. 4 time champ or not.
Burroughs probably Rag Doll Starocci in a fight
JB paved the ground for you as an African American in this sport in the modern area.. dont forget that ever!!!! Starocci soon if you lucky that weight will be on your shoulders !!
Too many obnoxious and drunk Penn State fans at the first day. And the people I saw were in their 40, 50, & 60’s. Every time they came back to their seats they had two beers in their hands. I thought I was at an Eagles came with what was coming out of their mouths. Just trash
I hope the real wrestling devotees show out.
The majority of the PSU fans were awesome. Just there were too many drunk dudes in their 40-60’s. I mean every single time they came back from concessions they had two bears in their hands
What’s an Eagles came? I’ve been to Eagles games, and almost every PSU wrestling match since 1979….I never saw garbage stacked to the height of the light poles at a PSU match. You need to hook up with the Bible thumper above and you 2 start your own school and wrestling team….You could call it HYPOCRISY U.
Oh geez I ran into an English Teacher. So sorry Tim, Eagles “game”. And like whatever dude, I was there and saw what I saw.
So U never been to a Penn State 🏈 game ? and U did not know the BJC sells Alcohol ? There is not many places U can go in the US and not see Alcohol Especially a Sporting Event
The disrespect holy shit
MM ain’t mad so why is he? Get lost man it wasn’t your fight. You went up.
If JB wrestling like he did at trials I don’t think so. What do you think starocci v JB looks like at 79. It’s a guess but AB proved that this younger generation is to be feared.. Adeline gray is super decorated but the youngster blades was superior. The sport is not as accommodating to the old timers. If he doesn’t win final x it will just detract from his greatness.
is jordan hated behind the scenes in wrestling ?
Yes a lot believe he is very cocky (I like jb)
Im NJ Guy remember Burroughs in HS,,,Been my favorite freestyler for 12 years ...now I can't stand him ...He is so vain and arrogant ..All he talked about was himself while announcing NCAA's .."I won Worlds with a broken leg"..."I won my first Title and wasn't happpy I didnt score more ".."I did this I did that ...that was so bush league not giving Starocci any credit or praise for winning a 4th title ,,just says he's going after his bad knee"..Looks like Starocci is leaning towards coming back for a 5th tittle ...Burroughs knows he will never beat Dake again ..might not even beat Nolf ...So he's hanging on to wrestle at 79k ...he better hope Starocci does go MMA because he will never beat him ...
The phrase "four time NCAA division 1 national champion" no longer has any significance to me. Starocci is juvenile, adolescent, moronic. And if the other Penn State wrestlers, previous or present, feel as he does so are they. I still am a Penn State fan but my support in waning.
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Love Thy Enemy young man. 😃
Penn state wrestling has become a bigger and bigger circle jerk, all this nonsense makes me want to root against them and hope some other organizations can step up and challenge their dominance
Plz root for Iowa or Michigan then….At least then you’ll know you won’t win a team title next year
@@TimM-wk1zx im a cornell fan actually hehe. hard to imagine anyone closing the gap any time soon though
Mitch pushed JB and got under his skin chipping at him and got what was coming to him.
It was a simple shove, let’s not make it more of a big deal than it needs to be…
Is it called a wrestling match? In wrestling, your...physical.
What a punk...all talk!
All talk? He won 4 NCAA titles, and one with a torn acl.
@@TimM-wk1zx And he's done nothing at the international level.
Dan, I’ll go SLOW for you….NEITHER DID JB IN COLLEGE. Carter has 14 years and Mitchell has 17 years till they are JB’s age. I think Mitchell will have a stellar Olympic record till he’s done. I think Carter wins number 5, then goes MMA. When Carter comes back next year, I bet he will wrestle fewer than 14 matches before Nationals.
@@TimM-wk1zx Fair enough...I will go even slower for you. College isn't squat compared to international competition. Neither of these punks will accomplish half of what JB has done...combined!
Nice name calling….it seems to always come from the cheap seats. These “PUNKS” as YOU call them, are academic scholars….The cumulative Team GPA is 3.85 for Christ Sakes. Ppl fail to realize how many kids at Penn States wrestling team are there on full academic scholarships. Punks is outta line, and ANY team in the country would be happy to have these guys, but no other team is getting production out of their guys like Penn State. Mitchell is 17 years younger the JB, so I’d bet on Mitchell plus the 17 years. Mitchell was the U20 world champ….was JB?
Hey Downey...leave your shoes on the mat
This guy is being an ass. He’s as cocky as anyone. And Mesenbrink was acting like an ass. You don’t hold onto a guy’s leg after the ref blows the whistle continuously. You show some respect. All I can say is great wrestler, but he said the same thing Jordan Burrow said about going after a guys bad leg basically he tried not to, but he inclined the same thing! I was OK with Penn State till this tournament and seeing how they are with a microphone in her face. The whole crew are asses. It’s like in the water there!😂 except Aaron Brooks, he’s great!
Please go root for NORTH DAKOTA STATE
@@TimM-wk1zx better than rooting for Penn “Catholic” state!🙏🏽😅
They’ve always been asses, but they are the best right now.
At least Penn State kids seem to have their faith in order and are overachievers in school. The team has a cumulative average of 3.85.
says he only wrestling because not gifted enough for NFL
No, he said he wasn’t 6/4 280 pounds and not chasing girls.
Hey, Mitch, we don't care who you are either. Come back to the mic after 7 combined world titles and we'll give a listen then.
JB is 17 years older than Mitchell. Mitchell has already accomplished more as a freshmen than JB did as a freshman. Give him time. JB won nothing Nationally in College. Didn’t Mitchell win U20’s
@@TimM-wk1zx All the more reason to be amazed at JB's accomplishments. He worked his butt off and persevered in spite of not having the early pedigree. Talk to me after Mitch has 7 combined world championships...not going to happen.
You penn state fans are such babies..
Penn State fan goes to bed every night holding their babies and lots of recent College trophies. Let me ask, if Iowa is so fantastic, why did Gilman leave, and why did Teske underachieve at Iowa. Why did Snyder leave OSU? Why does Penn State have the number one rated recruiting class coming in this year? If ur upset at Penn State wrestling now, wait till u see what Lilledahl does at 125 this fall. 😝😝
The only wrestler of all the Olympian’s that has no class
Carter is talking smack and his teamate Messenbrick deserved what J B gave him if you look at the entire match
lol, another dirty, cocky PsU wrestler. But they’re the most respectful and excellent wrestling program in college, per their fans lol.
How is he dirty? He’s super intelligent and won 4 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS. Should he not be assertive and speak his mind.
This kid will never come close to JB records, no worries there. No class man.
Bro got beat by trent.
2 weight classes up! Hidlay.. still.... Hasn't won anything
@@PinFall89he wasnt 2 weight classes up,it was one.He claimed he was going to drop down after ncaa,for some reason he choose not to,wich was his decision. Keep it real,he didn't jump up 2 weight classes tho!
And Carter ducked JB
@@svan81 Probably a good thing for JB seeing how Nolf did him well enough.
Such a horrible headline. He definitely did say in the way you guys represent it. Are you that hard up for clicks?
We used a direct quote.
“Pray & let God lead you,” & then spit in a guys face…. Keep pushing your “Faith in God” to people who don’t know any better Penn State…. 🤡🤡🤡 This dudes about to disappear into oblivion..
Guy never made a world and paints his fingernails
Extremely unlikable young man. Thinks he is King Kong or something???
Jordan Burroughs walks around like that, etc. That's in the 9th minute of the video.
@@philipj.sherman2987 Everytime I see or hear about JB, he seems very humble.
4 timer.
Yes JB is.
“We don’t care who you are, You’re not welcome over here, you’re the enemy, we don’t care about your accolades, youre in enemy territory, you’re the enemy.” Wow! So much for Jesus, praying, and the Lord. That is the M.O. for PSU Wrestling. Thomas Gilman wrestled there after college to get better for international competition. He said, this past weekend, “I wrestled there for a couple years, they were sort of nice to me, but let me know on a daily basis the he wasn’t one of them. He was still the enemy” What you have here, in my opinion, are cafeteria Christians. The preach the love of god but only practice their religion with each other. It’s situational Christianity. That’s NOT very Christian. Matthew 22:37-39 Leviticus 19:18 I know, there coach, if he reads those passages, will understand. Hopefully, they change their ways. The way they treat outsiders Is very much cult like, in many ways. Pray for them! Forgive them!
Liberal Mike, didn’t know you were ordained….If you listen to the latest Gilman interview, he likes it there, and is a changed man IMO. Who’s ur team Mike😇, run through a wall for Coach Iowa?
@@TimM-wk1zx June 1993 is when I was ordained. I like the sport more than I support the teams. Ya gotta give respect to Oklahoma, Penn State, Iowa, Ohio State, Mizzou, and so on for their rich history in the sport. I’ve wrestled, competed, and coached for 42 years before I retired. What I love most about the sport is the mutual respect shown to each other by the wrestlers, coaches,& the majority of the fans. I have an issue When it gets contentious. It makes it more entertaining, and that’s important, but ya gotta be careful or it could turn into the WWE. Just my opinion. I could be wrong. But then again, I could be correct.
It IS entertainment, but certainly NOT SCRIPTED like the WWE. Any reference to it being like WWE is ridiculous. Do we need all the fanfare at gatherings like this….NO, but it’s better than numbers of college teams wrestling in a high school gym where there’s no seating. I think the BJC was a great venue for this, and I’d think the majority of the ppl involved or watching would think the same. I think wrestling is a struggle, is contentious….i mean, we aren’t knitting. There’s going to be emotion, there will be elation and hurt feelings. It’s part of the territory.
Definitely not a fan of Penn State anymore
Life College of Chiropractic is looking for fans.
Cater is a bum. 4x who will do notning on a world level. He gets beat every time he trys to go to the world level
He is going to be a UFC fighter
Plz tell me what your hero JB did at the world level while in College. I’m waiting.
@@TimM-wk1zx Huh?
I’ll slow down….What did JB do at the world level while still in College at NU?
He’s a punk!
