buckshot Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Assuming everything shakes out as planned I think the finals should start at 141 so the final match will be RBY vs Fix. It would also allow for Spencer Lee's last match to be near the end. If they do what I expect them to it will be to start at 133 and make the last match non-competitive. Thoughts? 1
Wrestleknownothing Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Start at 157 so that three of the last four matches will be for 3 or 4 titles. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

I honestly hope I'm wrong because he's my favorite non-PSU wrestler but his all out style and the fact that he's dealing with an injury doesn't bode well.

Expand He's said he could go last night, but he's trying to make sure he's 100% for March. I'm skeptical he'll have the gas tank. That's just ALWAYS an issue when you're talking about a guy who is missing chunks of time with injury, but it sounds like he's going to be fine.

D3UC157 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) I don’t think they should stick to weight class order for finals. It should be scripted. Bunch of grudge matches going on too. 285 - Likely B1G v B1G rematch, First time champ someone is getting excited and celebrating 131 - 3 timer opportunity (but semi-boring) 157 - throwaway (slept on AO’C wins) 184 - grudge match, Hidley finally beats Brooks 174 - grudge match, Lewis/Starocci zzz Intermission (? Does finals do this, don’t recall) 141 Alirez v Woods (couple hungry aggressive guys, should be entertaining) 197 Throw away 165- grudge match (If Carr beats O’Toole again at XII, swap with 184) 149 - 4 timer 125 - 4 timer Edited February 20, 2023 by D3UC157 1

(X’s 2) May be a surprise, but, 157 is a weak weight class. 197 kind of similar, bunch of mess. Something about being mandatory to crown a champ in all 10 classes, but maybe we can get a petition to skip finals that may not be as good as others? I’ll look into it. 184 - unlikely, but who knows? I would imagine all of the other 31 guys in the bracket would disagree but hey I made a loose prediction and picked 2 guys.

But just as far as viewing, I get why people may not love his style. It's TD and then turns people like a key. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing. Now I was a huge Andrew Howe fan...so aesthetics mean shit in Wrestling, but if you're talking about guys you like from other teams...I get liking a guy who gets into more scrambles, goes for the throws, big moves rather than just...TD, turn, turn, turn, turn...with one of those turns being a pin. That said, still calling Glory for Glory.
