Is Chance Marstellar the best PA-born wrestler freestyler we have this year?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Very impressive how he essentially beat the GOAT Burroughs 3-0.  I think he has actually has potential to do better than Zain Retherford this year in international competition.

[nhs67]

Better than Retherford?  The guy who took Silver at Worlds last year?  The same guy returning to the same weight in which the guy who took Gold is now only doing Greco?  That Retherford?

So you're saying the guy who has never even won an international tournament is going to go to Worlds and be a Gold medal favorite, which is what Retherford should be considered as of right now?

[LJB]

If you respond he will keep coming back…

let’s keep him on the stall fest meat head side…

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Zain is great but he has also lost some headscratchers.  Chance is wrestling the best he ever has.  Zain has never beaten someone as good as Burroughs in such convincing fashion either.

The same Zain Retherford that was born in Kenosha, WI?  I don't believe he is eligible for the question as posed.

Narikuni is moving to greco? That's weird as all get-out. Isn't the JPN greco team just a step above where the US currently is? I remember they had a medal at Tokyo but wasn't that drought as long as ours until Hancock?

I think he started as a Greco guy, maybe in age level stuff.  Also heard something like: the Greco weights are more to his liking.

At final X I'm pretty sure it was just him and Nolf.  I don't think any of the ladies were born in PA. Kennedy Blades attended Wyoming Seminary but I'm pretty sure she is an out of stater.

I uh... only brought up Zain because he did.  I had not grounds to say where he was from.  He said he had a better chance to medal than Zain.

Legit in his post-match interview he said he was.  Something along the lines of 'Yeah this is cool but I'm a Greco guy and will competing there from this point forward.'

Shit, didn’t realize he’s a Kenosha native… chalk up another one for good wrestlers from the Chicago suburbs.

Are we now pretending Retherford isn't a PA guy?

No.  We aren't pretending he was born in PA.

So we're pretending he didn't grow up in Pennsylvania

Jimmy used the qualifier of "PA-Born" in the title. That's all.

No If Jimmy starts a thread asking the question "Is Chance Marstellar the best wrestler freestyler that grew up in Pennsylvania that we have this year?"  "No Zain Retherford is better" would be a valid answer.  To the question he asked Retherford is not a valid answer.  What do you not understand?

Lol. This reminds me of people from New Jersey trying to claim Scottie Scheffler.

You're right.  Let's change Zain's birth certificate because he moved to PA.

I'm guessing Jimmy knew where Zain was born when he posted the thread.

Next Cinnablow will ask if All Utah wrestlers are descendants of Polygamous families.
