Ono vs Crookham or Ono vs Hardy depending on weight both guys will test how he adapts to folk.

Lockett vs Caliendo and if he wins that Messenbrink 

Duke vs Kasak at black knight 

Ryder vs welsh

Vrob vs Lilledahl

Blaze vs Mendez

Facundo vs Haines

Hardy is a terrible matchup for someone who's never wrestled folkstyle.

Well that was a fun read! We all got one life Faz and you’re clearly making the best out of yours. Thanks for sharing what makes your life so special for you with us! 

I appreciate that Rass!!   We need to live for everyday.....we never know when our time is up....in the last few years I've watched a number of friends leave us, and a number of them left us way to soon.  For me recently it was a 42 year old former wrestler who trained for triathlons and bike races, and was out for a run with his wife and oldest "2" (14 and 16) they all went in different directions in their subdivision and Joe dropped to the ground and passed before anyone could help him...terrible.  When I end conversations with close friends, I to depart by saying "luv ya man"....you just never know.

When I was a kid (a long time ago....) the rod and reel are in my reel/lure collection,  grew up fishing small lakes, and graduated to fishing the Great Lakes....walleye, salmon, trout and sometime bass.

All good potential match ups.  I hope we get to see all of these.  I wish they would just get rid of all shirts and just give everyone 5 years.  Then we wouldn't have to wait to see guys like Blaze.

184 is going to be fire next year

I think that most people had Mirasola or Merrill as the U20 97kg reps for the USA last year and then it ends up being Rademacher vs McDanel in the finals with Rademacher winning and representing the USA very well at worlds. I expect him to take a leap forward next year. 

Looks like Rademacher will be the 97kg U20 rep again this year (Merrill is competing at 92kg).  Next year's 184 weight class is understandably getting all the attention, but 197 is going to be pretty great as well imo.
