Undefeated freshmen - a threat to Cael?

[BloodRound]

I used to think they wouldn't be a threat because of Cael Tax.  Now though, I believe that this current crop of guys is so fearless in taking on the highest competition level that it's only a matter of time before one of their peers who have already taken losses to them gets the rubber match.  

I love it though, the sport felt more fun to watch this year than in previous ones.

Injury. Illness. Fluke pin, maybe? 

Four full years of competition Cael didn't get sick or injured at the wrong time. 

Some things are beyond the control of the wrestler.

As far as we know but I bet he did ... he was just that good that he won anyway.  Look at Uetake also.

No way would I miss Yojo. Best ever at any weight in college.

Carl also wrestled 159 times.   Those days are gone and have been replaced by the ing days, match quotas, skipping duals when you have the sniffles, Not going to tough mid season tourneys etc.    

it’s a different game today and should enable more people to be undefeated.
