CRAZY ENDING!! AJ Ferrari vs Iowa Hawkeyes Zach Glazier @ Soldier Salute Finals ~ December 30, 2023

After giving up a point for some BS stall calls, the match goes into overtime. AJ Ferrari gets a takedown right before the OT period is over and seemingly had the match won. Zach and AJ get into a scuffle and the refs decide to disqualify AJ.
Then AJ decides to start taunting the crowd. He blows kisses. He does the splits and flips everyone off before walking out.
What a great time to be a wrestling fan!

Only time will tell

[@JG-re2bb]

I was thinking the same. It certainly puts Brands in a difficult position

[@WrestlerMichael]

I hope you realized Ferrari's were representing themselves, wrestling unattached. And our guys in the black and gold, were representing Iowa, and they were flexing on a guy they just beat, trying to humiliate his opponent. Then Glazier tried to tackle AJ after AJ started to walk away. Hey I get it, this is Glaziers last year and he want to wrestle, but in that moment he was representing Iowa and him and Rathjen both made us look bad. Would you have been ok if Michael mocked Patrick after he beat him? Pat push Michael and the end of a period. What the Ferrari’s did wasn’t good but they weren’t wearing black and gold I would have Glazier and Caleb running their guts out. If Ferrari’s still want to come to Iowa after the way the fans treated them, they would also be running.

[@joshreid7330]

@@WrestlerMichael flexed on a guy he just beat (rathjen) because that guy pushed him from behind 3 seconds after the whistle….

You can try to paint it how you want but the way mostly aj acted after the loss was the most insane thing I’ve ever seen on a wrestling mat in 26 years of being around the sport. And they may have been unattached “representing” themselves but we all know they are to be competing for Iowa, so why disrespect the fans you are supposed to be wrestling for in weeks.

Regardless of what happened after the match, it was AFTER the match.

[@user-dq6fu6wm6o]

I think that the ending was highly motivated by the Iowa wrestler but still no excuse for the behavior of AJ. If he would put the same effort into the good of wrestling and being a good example to the younger wrestlers as he does the hype, he would be loved by all. He has enormous talent, and you can see he puts a lot of effort into training and taking care of his body, but talent alone will not get it done in this world, you have to have the professionalism to go with it, nobody that counts wants to see the BS at the end of this match, shake hands and go to your corner, that would have probably got him a shot at being at Iowa next year and bring him a lot of good to his future self. As it is now, nobody will touch him with a ten foot pole after this great showing wrestling but not good sports ethics, no room for this no more in college sports. Its too bad as I love to watch him wrestle as he is very entertaining to watch wrestle, just hate all the rest of it.

I’ll never understand some officials need to get involved in matches. At 9:07, that stall hit was crazy. If you’re rewarded for riding time, you can’t hit a guy for stalling because he’s been riding for some time. I get it, trust me I honestly do. They want you “working for turns when on top”. But it’s not always realistic and you need to be educated. On top, your job is: 1. Pressure, pressure, pressure. 2. Do not let him up. 3. Do not let him reverse you. 4. Do not let him up escape you. 5. Then you go for swipes. Then at 10:18 I’m ready throw my recliner through my iPad screen. I know being an official is a very tough and thankless job. However, we’re at the tipping point now in both HS and NCAA wrestling where the talent level of these kids have surpassed the talent level of the officials. We gotta be better than this. 🙏🏼 Brah must’ve gotten tired of Papa Ferrari yelling with his biceps out all tournament. Ya see he wasn’t allowed in the corner for the finals. 🤔. Again, we gotta be better than this. This was boiling up the entire match. AJ shouldn’t have thrown a slap but this is on the ref’s poor judgement and repeated shady calls that started this.

Seems to me that Ferrari won the match, and got hosed by the refs! But heh, I’ve only been involved in NCAA wrestling for over a half century !!

[@justinhelin2752]

I hope the Brands brothers can figure this out. Would be a shame to not make things work by working with the young men.

[@balla2172]

There's no need to work anything out that is unacceptable if I was the brand's brothers. I don't care how town did you? Are? You're not gonna be wrestling under the iowa banner with that type of attitude

[@genghiskhan7041]

@@balla2172 Are you kdding? Acting like pricks is an Iowa tradition isn't it? Metcalf, Gilman, DeSanto, the Brands brothers themselves when they competed, and many more over the years. When I was a kid I saw Gable throw a chair across a wrestling mat at an OSU dual, so even Gable acted like a prick.

[@mikeptaschinski3187]

Watch AJ's cornermen Dan Dennis and The Bull during the match --- what a disconnect, and I can only guess at the reasons. And just like Anthony after his match, AJ doesn't walk to his corner. Instead, he heads for the tunnel where his family was waiting.

[@2Minihats]

In case you don't know how to score a wrestling match, Ferarri won - fuckin bum refs want to be apart of the action so badly, they influence the result. Way to piss away a returning national champion, no way he comes to the room after this.

This kid is a competitor. The problem is he is a loose cannon. I think Zach deserved the pop he was advancing. He needs to be humbled and obviously his father and mother hasn't taught him about humility and who am I to say that's a bad thing. That being said we are not all wolves. He is a top tier athlete in a combat sport. He needs to know when to turn it off. Gable figured it out. I see a lot of Jersey attitude mixed with Texas tuff guy. Zach got what he was looking for. The parents need to regain these boys in or let the coaches take over. Society will not tolerate these boys. I like them and I think the youngest one has it figured out. I wish the best for these young men. They are winners

What a terrible match to watch. 3 minutes go by in the first, no score, and no stalling? Na. I had glazier stalling in the first. Call at the end was ridiculous. The sport needs guys with reputations right now, not soft officials

[@americanaamerican]

AJ pushed off of Glaz at the end which shouldn’t be DQ-able. It started the scuffle. Stupid call by the refs. Tons of wrestlers do that.

[@christopherbuckmaster3402]

The ref wanted an Iowa affiliated guy to win. That is all it was. Plain and simple.

Not sure he will wind up there, but Ferrari acts like an Iowa wrestler already.

Well after seeing this I have to change my opinion. Ferrari only reciprocated. He reacted, and his opponent instigated.

AJ going DESANTO on Glazier🤣👍

[@Blivot3]

The body language of Coach Marinelli at the end of the match is funny to watch.

[@cgmoran91]

I posted this early. Marinelli has his hands full until he turns them over to the Brands. Mariennlli is a strong Christian. He does not compute to him working with Ferrari. Whos father talk about faith, but their actions don't match. Yet he may reach him until he moves full on into the Iowa team.

[@lyonanddebanderson4418]

That's just bad all around, emotions get high I get that. Wrestling is not a street fight, It's controlled aggresion with techniques that that help you dominate your opponent to win. Coach brands is going to have his hands full, but that's the "IOWA STYLE". Welcome to IOWA WRESTLING, there is a reason we are great.

[@brimtime8117]

With Aj’s attitude on the mat he won’t get the benefit of the doubt calls. Seems like he’s his worst enemy.

[@christhomas6103]

And you want to know why behavior and character matters? Watch those two little kids in the area behind the folding chairs where the soldiers are sitting. They were ecstatic that Ferrari won the match. Clearly they look up to him. Then watch them as Glazier is declared the winner. AJ Ferrari, how you conduct yourself matters. Your behavior carries influence on younger people who are indeed watching and following you.

[@Q.Q.]

Someone unbiased please explain. I slowed down the video to the slowest setting, tried to gauge if one was clearly more responsible for the scuffle than the other. From this angle, and with the ref in the way, one didn't appear particularly more egregiously involved/instigating than the other. What am I missing? Other than any preexisting reputation (given other comments here), why was the Ferrari kid disqualified while the Glazier kid, not only didn't get any reprimand but, given the victory?

[@trentfriday1655]

If AJ stays at Iowa Glazier to the portal…

[@dpc0809]

Love the stall call while hanging on on top. I was just thinking that AJ wasn’t wrestling to todays rules. Didn’t care to see him showboat rather than going to his coaches after the match. He would be a cancer to the locker team if any team brought in. He wants to be his own show so he’s better off just pursuing fake wrestling.

[@musikkimies]

Re the stalling calls, I didn't watch the entire match, but the two stall calls in the 3rd period were consistent with what I've seen this season. The first one, AJ was only holding on while ZG was standing. Easy stalling call there. In past seasons that likely wouldn't have been called, but they've made an emphasis that that's stalling. For the 2nd one, AJ was backing out. The ref has to call either action or stalling. He chose stalling (which I've seen called many times this season). Actually, during the OT period, AJ backed out in a very similar manner and the ref called it action (as indicated by the motion of his hands). IMO that one could have very easily been called stalling - and probably should have been if following the same logic as the first call. But no ref wants to end a championship match in OT by calling a 3rd stall call. So, IMO, the ref gave him another opportunity. And AJ took it. It's clear that AJ is a true freak (in the best sense of the word) and could be a true legend -- if he can control his passions. As taught in the Book of Mormon: "bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love." Alma 38:12

[@savagecat3434]

AJ should have won. Glazier asked for it when he messed with AJ after scoring at the end. Glazier should have been awarded points for AJ's unsportsmanlike conduct but both were in the wrong at the end. I am betting he will definitely wrestle for Iowa now. He will run Glazier off like his brother ran off a teammate 🤣!

[@mhalonazaro6576]

The people that say AJ doesnt deserve to be at Iowa for this behavior were also the biggest Desanto and Gilman fans, give me a break. Although AJ def needs to control himself, Glazier baited him a bit here, the neck pushdown shouldnt be a DQ.

[@mdwoods100]

I watched the ending again, Ferrari had both hands on his back and pushed and then he put his hand on Glaziers head and pushed again, he started it and deserved what he got

[@Shawn_Lai]

Gonna have to blame the referree for allowing it to escalate to this level.... AJ does need to chill out or he is going to get DQ'd from more matches, but he controlled the mat pressuring forward the entire time... I can see how the ref would call stalling on top since he sat on his hips, but thats the problem with a riding point... top man is going to ride as hard as he can, they shouldnt be called for stalling. Then the second stall call on their feet was questionable. You can see AJ is getting frustrated by Glazier just backing up the entire match. Then it looks like green stood up with a push or wild arm causing the confrontation.. 🤷‍♂️
