So is Crookham for real?

[ionel]

We all remember the hype for Stevenson and know how that turned out, what about this latest new kid?

[steamboat_charlie]

I'm a little confused by the Steveson comparison...

Is Crookham for real?  Yes.  Is Crookham Gable Steveson? No.

So far, he is the real deal.

[poorwrestler]

He was able to finish takedowns on Nagao unlike anyone other than RBY to this point. I was super impressed by his gameplan in that match.

Also, like Steveson continuously being called Stevenson, I hope Crooham sticks.

whoosh 

[Offthemat]

Witckraft may have something  for him. 

[ionel]

Vitoe might get him next time.

[WrestlingFan89]

He was able to beat McDonogold, Aruja and Nogao 

 

Might need to see how he does with Ficks

@ionel has a thing for typos.

But Crookham could get 3rd this year then be the favorite next year when Vito and Fix graduate

Not sure about a Stevenson comparison, maybe something closer to Zane Rutherford...

Getting Gable's last name correct matters, but there is a reason for this common oversight.  

According to namecensus.com, 'Stevenson' is the 432nd most popular surname, 'Steveson' is the 19,416th, 'Crookham' is the 66,371st, and 'Crooham' doesn't appear to be a listed surname.

I angered an old boss so many times for spelling his name Jared rather than Jarad.  That doggone spell checker and crazy parents trying to be unique.

Hopefully Fix and Arujau graduated from college years ago and are finishing up master’s degrees.

Fix I would hope so as well, but I believe Vito had to un-enroll

Or maybe Crookham gets 1st this year and then is the favorite next year ....

Oh... lol. 

I noticed the Steveson typo of course, but my brain apparently autocorrected straight over "Crooham."  That's a new one.

Which would put him ahead of Steveson’s pace.  I was more just saying the Steveson comparison isn’t necessarily unwarranted.   Crookham was a 3x PA champ and only wrestled 3 seasons

Fix maybe.  Ivy schools don't allow grad students to compete.  Jake Logan is in his fifth year out of high school and is working on a Master's at Lehigh, but Vito is seven years out of high school and is still working on his Bachelor's.  I hope Lehigh uses this as a selling point in recruiting; lots of their wrestlers leave with two degrees after five years.
