Lunaticfringe Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Nelson Brands is the most overrated wrestler in the country. Patrick Kennedy and him should be a coin flip at best for him based on his overall results. He had one good Ncaa tourney where he kept matches low scoring and snuck out some late wins. If his name was Nelson Peterson, nobody would give a damn.

You are incorrect in the usage of the word accusation as well as the following statement of based on nothing. He deduced, based off the rest of his career aside for one tournament, that he is overrated. It isn't a hot take because it is true and widely believed. Prior to NCAAs he was 10W-6L (62.5% WP) and seeded 11th (not to place). He beat four guys who had better seasons than him to place 5th. He then took a year off - much of it not training because he thought his competitive career was done. It is a fair deduction for him to say he is overrated. It isn't a hot take, though.

He's also insinuating that he wouldn't be in the lineup if not for nepotism, thats an accusation in my book. Also what is the idea that he's overrated based on? That we know his name?

Having a good tournament doesn't make you overrated, people talking about you're ability in an exaggerated fashion for faulty reasons does. Who is talking up Nelson Brands? I don't see anyone.

What is he rated? What should he be rated? Most places i see him predicted around mid AA. 1

Who is talking up Nelson Brands? I don't see anyone. Having one good tournament and a 60% win percentage with many losses to non-AA then taking a year off can and does - as seen by his squeeker of a 2-1 gift...err... win last night. Also you must not follow much, at all. Almost every media outlet is picking him to high AA regardless of 174 or 184. 12 hours ago, WildTurk said: What is he rated? What should he be rated? Most places i see him predicted around mid AA. Predictions =/= rankings =/= ratings. He is rated at #10 on wrestlestat using an unbiased algorithm. That seems about right and still doesn't take in to account the uncertainty of his long layoff (did not look good last night) or the uncertainty of his postseason weight. "I know actually nothing.

You just listed some outlets and presumed to ventriloquize them, thats not evidence. How about this i'll take a poll, "will nelson brands place top 4" if it comes up over 50% you win, sound fair enough? And take it easy with the name calling, you're coming off a little emotional.
