Was on his way to be a 3 time champ and 4 time AA but they nerfed him by changing the rules. Missed out on his 3rd natty by barely losing to Yianni. Then lost the chance to be a 4 time AA by getting pinned by Chad Red. https://x.com/RaguWrestle
Elevator Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Some fun and deserving nominees above. Some of the most entertaining (tough on top, feet to back magic, or unusual tricks), from wrestlers I have seen in live matches (mostly Eastern wrestling): Gene Mills Jordan Leen Jesse Jantzen Travis Doto Pete Yozzo Rick Springman Yianni Cuvo Vito a bunch of Penn State guys Zain, Nolf, Quentin Wright, RBY, Ruth and others 2 1
11986 Posted September 16 Posted September 16 so many greats/personal favorites of mine already mentioned, I'll add a couple more than I'm not sure I have seen yet: Jim Martin/PSU Scott Moore/PSU and UVA
Gene Mills Fan Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Drake Ayala I love when Drake is living on opponents legs. But I like the Fargo Drake way more with that wicked dump in his package; he's stuck on too much head hands some matches

scourge165 Posted Thursday at 01:39 AM Posted Thursday at 01:39 AM Mike Poeta is a guy who was one of my favorites. He had Burroughs and another brutal matchup, but he was such an explosive Wrestler, I was a fan. Started out up at 165 because of the Tirapelle's at Illinios, then goes 3, 2, 2 with losses to Leen, Burroughs in the finals and I think one of the Paulson's in the Semi's. I didn't read all 6 pages, but he doesn't seem like he's remembered like he should be. 1 1

I'll die on the hill that Burroughs, Leen, and Poeta (all at the same weight) were the 3 most athletic wrestlers in the NCAA that year regardless of weight class. All 3 were an incredible mix of speed, flexibility, strength, etc. 1

Tripnsweep Posted Friday at 06:34 PM Posted Friday at 06:34 PM McIlravy was always fun to watch because it was usually all gas and no brakes with him. DeSanto was similar to that. 1

His win over Hendricks in 07 was a heck of a battle. There’s just something about the special moments in wrestling - such as Perry finally beating the guy his uncle recruited over him.

Antitroll2828 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Darrion Caldwell- also my favorite HS wrestler of all time Jason Nolf- literally invented his own moves and pinned AAs with them Steve Mocco -285 pound grown men feared him Zain Retherford - his ability to break people on the mat and just punish them into oblivion is unmatched Anthony Cassar - 1x state qualifier 1x State champ , 1x ncaa qualifier 1x ncaa champ ,beat gable twice , wasn’t a starter and came off the bench and beat #1 ranked guy in the country in the biggest dual of the decade.. certified NJ legend Spencer Lee -his tilt was a work of art Peyton Hall- this guys knees bend in the opposite direction then normal humans it’s ridiculous Chad Walsh and Taylor Walsh - Wild styles ,dangerous from every position , been watching Taylor do his thing back to our elementary school days and took that style all the way to the ncaa finals Josh Hokit- Scoring touchdowns in bowl games then pinning people 2 weeks apart ,AAing as the 16 seed Noah Adams - went from losing record to undefeated ranked # 1 in the country , really fun style , gave up his last year of eligibility to become a state trooper Damian Hahn - my childhood idol growing up , still have a pair of autographed shoes from him Ben Askren - the funk was awesome and so exciting Ed Ruth- so much fun to watch , never a state champ ,didn’t even know who Cael Sanderson was when he took over Penn state and turned into a certified legend Greg Jones - just a machine , went to camp he hosted back in the day and he was a really nice guy too Edited 13 hours ago by Antitroll2828 1 1
