Bacanator Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 Who do you have winning? My takes 125-Luke 133- Jax 141- Vega 149- Retherford 157- IMAR 165- both these guys won Hodge but I’ll take Messenbrink 174- Myles Martin 184- Dean 197- Cox 285- Snyder
JMill Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) I have 174 flipped and a 16-16 tie. Crazy they had so many more matches in ‘16… and they weren’t even getting paid! Edited May 8 by JMill 1
Packard Posted May 8 Posted May 8 125 - Luke Lilledahl (25-0) v Nico Megaludis (32-3) - Luke 133 - Jax Forrest (18-0) v Nashon Garrett (37-0) - Jax 141 - Sergio Vega (24-0) v Dean Heil (32-1) - Vega. Under neutral danger rules it’d probably be a first period tech 149 - Aden Valencia (21-7) v Zain Retherford (34-0) - Zain 157 - Landon Robideau (21-2) v Isaiah Martinez (32-1) - Imar 165 - Mitch Messenbrink (27-0) v Alex Dieringer (33-0) - The hardest one, but I’m going Messenbrink 174 - Levi Haines (26-0) v Myles Martin (33-6) - Haines 184 - Max McEnelly (24-2) v Gabe Dean (34-1) - Destroyer of Worlds 197 - Josh Barr (24-0) v J’Den Cox (33-1) - Tough call. I want to say Barr, but I’m going Cox he won an Olympic Bronze a few months later 285 - Isaac Trumble (21-0) v Kyle Snyder (11-0) - I feel like Trumble has been around so long he was actually in this bracket. I’m sure Snyder beat him then so I’ll call it a repeat
Hammerlock3 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 If you are talking about who they were that day, Lilladahl is not winning. He had a terrible tournament for a champ. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
CHROMEBIRD Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Anyone want to take a crack at 2006 vs. 2026? That's around the time of Askren, Schlatter, Hendricks, Mocco, Travis Lee, Dubuque, etc. 2

RandolphTJones Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Top 3 i'd love to see: 197, 157, HVY. 165 good on paper but I think MM controls that match.

There wouldn't be much mat wrestling and I think MM scores at least 2 TD's. With todays rules id say 10-4- MM 3 td's.

Gantry Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) Certainly not saying MM can't win, but I don't see late college career Deringer not getting a TD in a 7 minute match. Edited May 8 by Gantry 1

Would love to see the match regardless. Ringer was the best wrestler in the sport when I was most entrenched with it, so i'd be pulling for him in this hyopthetical!

There is only one degree of seperation from the finalists in 2016 and 2026. In 2016, Bryce Meredith wrestled for the 141 title. He later wrestled Yianni in 2018 for the title, who went on to wrestle Van Ness in the 2023 semi finals
bnwtwg Posted May 9 Posted May 9 125 LL decision 133 Jax major. And this isn't final form Jax which is scary. 141 Vega decision 149 Rutherford major or tech 157 Imar decision. That was the year he beat Nolf 2x. 165 MM decision. He would give up a takedown. He is also really, really good. Like, beats up the Hodge winning 3x'er good. 174 Haines major 184 Dean decision, one takedown match that could go either way 197 Cox, one takedown match 285 Snyder major if 3 point TD, decision if 2 point TD i am an idiot on the internet

jackwebster Posted May 9 Posted May 9 (edited) That call has skewed our appreciation of Robideau. If he comes out next year with a chip on his shoulder, we'll know why. Edit: crazy how a tournament where he notched two get-backs, beat the heavy favorite, and won the title has hurt his reputation. Edited May 9 by jackwebster
