OTT Finals Thread

My predictions:

• 57- Lee over Gilman
• 65- Zain over Lee
• 74- Nolf over Dake
• 86- Brooks over DT
• 97- Snyder over Trumble
• 125- Parris over Zillmer

[SocraTease]

20 year old Kennedy Blades over Gray.   Youth finally conquers  experience and mom strength.

44 year old Аляксандр Фёдаравіч Кікінёў (aka Aliaksandr Fiodaravich Kikiniov)  bests Kamal Bey at Greco 77KG.  Experience, gray hair, and dad strength conquers youth and then does a hair dye commercial afterwards.

[wrestle87]

Gilman in 3 (I would never choose this for freestyle, but Gilman sounds and looks a lot like he did for his 2021 run)

Zain in 3 - Nick Lee has a lot of finesse moves (even though they don't look like it), and they require opponents who are willing to extend themselves.  Zain is a squatted, balled up lump of muscle the entire time he is on the mat.

Dake in 2 - Unfortunately, what I saw in the premier match today was the regression of a legend, not the progression of one of PSU's premier studs

Taylor in 3 - Brooks has much better movement and defense, and Zahid gives everybody weird problems.  I think he cracks the armor a bit, even if it isn't enough to fully get over the hump

Snyder in 3 - Trumble is making a case that he's the next Snyder in waiting, at some point he may do to snyder what snyder did to varner

Parris in 2 - I'm impressed in a feel-good way for zilmer, but also bummed for him, bc I think he will be the gatekeeper to this weight for a while.  Parris is so big and so fast, I think zillmer just doesn't have a wide enough frame to be effective at defending parris' fireman's dump or his top game. Parris is a big big dude.

Name your wager. 
ETA: I'll take Snyder in two very handily including one tech.

Is this on USA again?  I didn't see it on the TV listing,  but it has been wrong before.

I'll give a Lee-Gilman prediction in a moment.

Ref saved Spencer from a tough situation. 

[Caveira]

Step out points suck.    (Lee fan)

Disagree. The step out encourages offense and tends to keep action in bounds. 

[Wrestleknownothing]

No one watching that can say ref was biased FOR PSU
