buckshot Posted February 19, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted February 19, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea and correct realistic understanding of how it won't happen. Although I think you couldn't go wrong with 165 last whoever the finalists are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Not that I know of, but you never heard about that until the end of the year. And to be clear, I'm getting my information from someone at the RTC and they don't know for certain. I hope I'm right...but I hope that about literally everyone. As much as I may not be a fan of certain programs, who doesn't want to see...Spencer Lee healthy(other than about 31 other 125LB Wrestlers!

D3UC157 Posted February 20, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
