Let's set the record straight once and for all, since some of you pagans and heathens are selling false religious stories.

Mesenbrink was anointed at an early age to be the false god of cardio. He slayed all enemies, vanquishing them with amazing feats of cardiology and brushing them aside in the B1Ggest of stages as if they were an opponent who's hair indicates he has no soul.

It was not until he was defeated over and over by 100% jesus trained David of Carr that MM finally realized what his upbringing was false and his reign was not to be. For cardio is not a god, it is merely a Flo state, and Mesenbrink is a vessel unto which that state shall be delivered.

That is to say, he is but merely a humble merchant of cardio and he is singing the good word telling us not to be Jealous, lest the demigod of Jonas would cause Mesenbrink's heavenly keys to be out of tune with us all.

57 - Davino over Lee

65 - Jax over Bassett

74 - Jayden James over Carr

86 - Valencia over Haines

97 - Brooks over Snyder

H - Ross over Hendrickson

I'm most looking forward to 65kg, and even after seeing Bo beat Real pretty decisively last night, I'm picking Jax. Bo's greatest strength, his constant offense, gives Jax exactly what he's looking for. Constant scoring opportunities. Unless Bo's just too big and strong for Jax, which seems unlikely given Jax' potential growth, I think Marcus will remain Jax' biggest threat. As a Jax fan, I hope he's on the other side of the bracket, with Seidel to deal with.

Assuming MM remains uninterested in wrestling freestyle, or competes mostly to avoid dissappointing those closest to him, Jayden James winning the 74kg Trials shouldn't shock anyone. He'll spend the next two years improving at NLWC, and unless he outgrows 74kg, I think he'll medal at Worlds next year, and own the weight domestically in 2028. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's the clear favorite for gold in the run-up to LA 2028.

I think there may be a bit of a big brother effect with PJ and Jayden but if Mitchell does not compete those guys would be my picks to wrestle for the spot. I think Marcus may just be the worst matchup for everyone but I will be pulling for Jax as well.

Blaze is going to be the favorite at 65 going into 2027...

I am high on Stanich but he has no training partners left at Lehigh. I think OKSt, tOSU, or hold my beer... Iowa(!!) would be great for him to take The Leap. Brutal reality is it's a rich-get-richer world nowadays.
