Not so much as five or so years ago. 

Way more faith required to believe that someone cares about the popups/ads...

Excited to see if Ramos is just pouring it on lower level comp or if he has mentally flipped that switch that he is better offensively than anyone. If it's the later I think he's a national champion this year.

As for 149 Im excited to see Ech I think the paro match showed he will contend at 149 but this will certainly tell us a bit more also interested to see if Henson has jumped anymore levels this year, I think its possible he will have needed to if he wants to be SVN.

Nice work! 125 is an absolute meat grinder - 9 out of the top 10 if Figs shows   

[Idaho]

What are Nelson's odds that Figs shows up here? I don't see him starting his season with CK. Or perhaps he is dressed with headgear on and ready to go but Jones pulls him back off the mat. 

[BloodRound]

It's gonna be a loooooooooooooong day for the rest of CSUB when Fast Twitch is the only one alive in the tournament for them.

Don't you think its pretty even money betting the DQ vs making the finals?  Of course he's got that what happens in Vegas ... thing going for him so ... 

[RandolphTJones]

Is this now the best & toughest in-season tournament?

I’ve watched all of Henson’s matches this year. He hasn’t wrestled any top guys other than Mizzou but has a 100% bonus rate. I’d love for him to scrap with SVN before March but not sure it’ll happen. He has been battling an undisclosed injury but so far I’d say he’s jump a level or so and should be in peak form by March. He’s wrestling uber confident and aggressive

I'd bet on him making the finals. Let's not make it dependent on your luck in Vegas. Let's just make a $100,000 intermat bucks bet.

We could go a million CB (cinnabucks).  Could go he does something stupid to offend someone vs making finals but ...

How about DQ vs 1st place and sig or avatar for remainder of December?  Winner proposes the sig or avatar ... loser chooses which one to display.

To be clear if no DQ and gets 2nd or less then no sig/avatar. 

Thoughts?
