Zahnarzt Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Best ever at each weight class for both schools. Who wins the hypothetical dual meet? My take on PSU lineup —- 125 - Megaludis 133 - RBY 141 - Nick Lee 157 - Nolf 165 - Taylor 174 - Starocci 184 - Brooks 197 - Nickal 285 - Kerry McCoy Will need help from Iowa fans on who fills their lineup.

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Iowa's best crushes that lineup and it's not even close Iowa 125 Spencer Lee (3x champ) 133 Tom Brands (3x champ, Olympic gold) 141 Jeff McGinness (2x champ) 149 Incoln McIlravy (3x champ, Olympic bronze) 157 Jim Zalesky (3x champ) 165 Joe Williams (3x champ, Olympian) 174 Joe Scarpello (3x champ) 184 Ed Banach (3x champ, Olympic gold) 197 Chris Campbell (2x champ, Olympic bronze) HWT Lou Banach (2x champ, Olympic gold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Burns Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'll say Iowa wins the three lightest weights out the gate. Even if I mess with the Lineup and start; Barry Davis, Mark Ironside, Tom Brands. The only match I don't see as a coin flip would be Nickal at 197. That's a lot of matches to steal.

Le duke Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Just imagine the absolute pistol whipping an 80s or early 90s, night-before 125 or 133 would get at the hands of a Cael at PSU-era, 1-hr weigh-in 125 or 133.

headshuck Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Seems like you’d need a Time Machine to compare. Brutes from the past would probably inflict a world of hurt on today’s guys if the refs allowed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Good grief. They added 7lbs to every weight class in going to one hr weigh ins, the old guys wouldn't have any trouble making the 1 hr weight. If weighins under old rules new guys prob couldnt even make the weight. Can you image Glory trying to make 118 the night before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If weighins under old rules new guys prob couldnt even make the weight. Can you image Glory trying to make 118 the night before. So, a 125lb guy who had a night before weigh-in would have the same physical ability as that same guy, who made 125 an hour before he had to wrestle? The science of exercise physiology would suggest you are very much wrong. A guy who weighs 135 and sweats off 10lbs to make 125 is going to perform completely differently on a night before weigh in (and can use IVs) vs that same guy doing the same thing with only an hour to rehydrate. It’s a pretty widely studied topic in physiology and it’s kind of crazy that you believe that.Guys from the 80s/90s would most likely have to go up two whole modern weights to not get their teeth kicked in.Here’s an excerpt from a paper written by a coach of some of the world’s best cyclists: “Fatigue toward the end of a prolonged sporting event may result as much from dehydration as from fuel substrate depletion. Exercise performance is impaired when an individual is dehydrated by as little as 2% of body weight. Losses in excess of 5% of body weight can decrease the capacity for work by about 30% (Armstrong et al. 1985; Craig and Cummings 1966; Maughan 1991; Sawka and Pandolf 1990).”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many were probabling pulling too much weight hence why they changed the rules & weights. Guys wrestling 167 were as big as 174 today. They one our weighing at +lbs worked fine. Look at where guys wrestled before the change and directly after. No one really changed weight classes. One hour wasn't a problem because they weren't pulling as much weight.
