Anticipated matches we never got to see

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

The one I wanted to see that can never happen now was Starocci vs Arnold.  Any other ones that just never happened, despite all the hype?

Is Alirez done?  If not we could see him face Hardy and Mendez next  year.

Aj and Barr will definitely wrestle (unless AJ joins Penn State).

Henson Van Ness could happen next year.

How do you figure?

Are you saying, with 100% certainty, that AJ Focus Ferrari and Josh Barr will both be at 197lbs the next two seasons(at least) and starting - wherever they are?

Good one...I think it could have been closer than the actual 165 pound final.

Not with 100% certainty but yes, I see AJ at 197 again.

Fair enough.

I think both 197 and 285 clear out well enough he would succeed at either.

Kerkvliet didn't hurt his leg until after Big 10s. He was healthy when he got dismantled

5tarocci vs Arnold would have been hyped up but probably incredibly boring.

I don't know. Arnold comes to scrap. I think this one may have been good.

I don't think Arnold could take Starocci down.  I see it being a 7-1 victory for Starocci.

[lisa morales]

Arnold is 5'6" and of average athletic ability.  How and why did he become so hyped?  If he wrestled Starocci 1,000 times he would lose 1,000 times.

Would be a good All Star match next year if Barraclough wasn't a senior this year.

In 2023. This is by far the match I wanted to see at NCAAs this year of the matches we didn't see. 

[Fletcher]

We were supposed to have 4 yrs. of Metcalf-Schlatter and only got one match.

Metcalf had a such a massive chip on his shoulder at the time.

[JeanGuy]

we get so excited about the next freshman phenom that it really skews views of wrestlers. Look at Shapiro. Was projected as an All-Timer coming into NCAA Wrestling, now he has a 3rd and 5th place finish. Will he ever win a title?

I think the Starocci v Keckeisen was the most anticipated by the majority. Many thought (hoped) there was no way that Starocci get beat him but he did and wasn't really close to being taken down. People don't like Starocci but I really do believe he is an All Time great. He isn't known as a scorer but finished with a 59% bonus rate.

I wanted to see the 285 final that we got. I think Kerkvliet was beaten by Steveson before they start. It was nice to see someone match the athleticism

[NotThatDave]

Plott v Keckeisen

I had a feeling this time...
