Or someone else?

[headshuck]

Richards over Gilman

[swoopdown]

Chance over previous mistakes

[swoopdown]

Or Berger's head over Zain's

Maybe Jordan's singlet vs Chance's opposable thumb?

[swoopdown]

Technology vs Flo?  Maybe not an upset but it beat the spread

JB over the rules of freestyle wrestling.

In fairness, those weren’t overcome mistakes, they are exorcised demons.

[pokemonster]

Richards over Gilman fosho. 

[AgaveMaria]

Lee over Yianni.

Burroughs is getting OLD - though still able to beat most at his weight no matter the age.

[de4856]

Well both Gilman and Burroughs are World Champions, and they both got beat by guys who have yet to medal or Win at the World Championships. But as one poster said Burroughs is battling Father Time as well as Chance, so I think the bigger upset would be Gilman. But Yianni wouldn’t be that far behind either.

While Burroughs is definitely on the last leg of his career, Chance over him is the bigger upset. Yianni plays with fire too much (especially domestically) and it is starting to burn him. Didn’t Lee beat him the last time they wrestled too?

it' Zane over Gilman and it's not close. Zane was never really close to making a team before and he dethroned a perennial medalist.

Nick Lee had already beat Yianni.

Chance had already beat JB.

This is true and why folks had better order @ILLINIWrestlingBlog's new book Wrestling Celebrations and Thirty Other Ways to Piss Off Old People  while they can, its gonna be selling like hotcakes at Merry Ann's!

Lee beat Yianni the last time they wrestled.  I know people will probably have opinions on that but.......

Prior to final X, in a space where opinions and broo ha ha doesn't matter but instead actual results do, Lee beat Yianni the last time they wrestled.  Not sure how his win is on this list.

Lol, is this a real quote? If so, I gotta hear this interview.

Maybe it was on a Basch podcast?

He said he was too worried about staying light year 'round until he came to NLWC.  At NLWC, he started letting himself get heavier (145 +?) and felt his training was better.

Then had a miserable cut for Final X.

If wishes and buts were candy and nuts then we’d all have a good Christmas.

Enough making excuses for Gilman. He’s a professional multi-time world medalist. If he had a bad cut then he has no one to blame but himself. No. Excuses. Richards is the same age, made the same weight, and beat him two times in a row including the second match 6-7 hours after weigh-ins.
