Re # of shots: If you say so.

Re tactic: Of course it is, but your argument reminds me of .  . .

 

Yep.  It's hilarious to watch the mental gymnastics as guys try to figure out why Vega being more offensive wasn't Vega being more offensive.  Vega's ability to make opposing fans angry is almost as strong as his neutral defense.

Yeah Cael never took shots correct?  I mean an ankle pick isn't a shot its just grabbing at heals.  Isn't grabbing at legs more impressive?

I agree.  Cael's ankle picks weren't true shots.  They were only tactics.  And Burroughs' doubles weren't true shots because he usually didn't go to a knee.

I would have said the same thing about Ridge but he was even better and he went up two weights will definitely be interesting to see how it unfolds. I would have picked Jesse against the field at 149 this year.

Picking Jesse against the field at 149 doesn't mean the same rule applies to Vega.  I probably did a bad job making my point. I'm not saying Vega won't be successful up a weight.  But if he does move up he won't have that length advantage anymore or as much and will need more tools in his bags to work with.

He's pretty long for even a 149.  Now he would have trouble with Trumble.

Fortunately for Vega Tumble graduated.  Maybe if we're lucky we'll get to see them scrap on the freestyle circuit.

I'm pretty sure the inarguably better aspect gets settled in the OkSt wrestling room. The rest is comparing bananas & avocados.
