Most Watchable Teams '24-'25


Recommended Posts

If a platform out there tried to make a top ten teams which would feature in the televised subscription all season.  You would gain access to all duals and conferences through the course of a season. which would you chose for the upcoming season?  I'd want exposure to each conference so will include at least one from each.

EIWA: Lehigh

PAC12: Little Rock

Big12: West Virginia, Oklahoma State

ACC: Pitt

MAC: Rider

SoCon: App State

Ivy: Penn

Big10: Nebraska, Illinois

Love the App State and Little Rock picks. Little Rock because they're the exciting new guy and have three ILLINOIS kids on their roster. App State because they were the first school to give me media credentials for their early-season tournament. I liked them before that because they had good, tough wrestlers. Moreover, their football team keeps upsetting top ten teams that I absolutely hate like Michigan and Texas A&M. 

I'm also keen on the Pitt and Penn picks, mostly because the ILLINI have dualed that tough Pitt team the last couple of years, and they had a couple of ILLINOIS boys starting for them in the Hellers. Penn because they always seem to be in the same tournaments as the Orange & Blue. I know the Penn lineup, and they are good and scrappy. 

Rider and Lehigh are on the ups. I don't know much about West Virginia except that Ty Watters and Kannon Webster already have a backstory, and they'll be fun to watch wrestle in the future. 

 

 

The ILLINOIS pick is inspired because of the return of a motivated and pissed-off Lucas Byrd. Everybody likes to watch Byrd wrestle, right? But also because of the return of the Brawlnagels and Luffman. The Braunagels because they are tough guys. Some might like the prancing around, fake-shot style of wrestling, but if you want to see wrestlers pour their guts out onto the mat.... 

Edmond Ruth wrestles smart and controlled matches, sure, but you almost always get at least one SPECTACULAR highlight per match with that bear hug of his. Then, there are the new kids like Kannon Webster, Chris Moore and Braeden Scoles. So excite! 

Interesting thread. Got me to thinking, thinking.

In what alternate universe would you rather watch Penn than Cornell?

15 out of 16 times I would pick Cornell...

But that one time...?

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Most UNWATCHABLE matches - all of them, if we continue to split screen with the dopey be-boppers who shouldnt be on the mat in the first place. TV viewers are in for a surprise 24’-25’.

I would as well, so long as you swap Nebraska with Michigan.

I would rather see Michigan's squad of Mercenaries than Nebraska's coaching staff of Naggers.
