Final X match one streamed with no commentary after audio failure
FloWrestling's Final X stream ran match one with no commentary. Jon Kozak said he and Christian Pyles were prepped and ready, but production hit audio problems that would have hurt the stream, so they went without. Coach Sganga ripped the decision for landing on the women's match.
A slap in the face to women’s wrestling.
Why it matters: Final X is the biggest US freestyle night of the year and the broadcast is how fans see it.
