Final X Predictions

[Doublehalf]

This is my best guess at who our team will be and I'm assuming Snyder finds a way to wrestle...

Does anyone think a high schooler is going to punch their ticket onto the team?

 

• 57- Lee / Lilledahl = Lee in 2 although lilledahl gives him a run on his feet and they are somewhat close but Spencer's top game wins him the matches 

 

• 61- Vito / Forrest = Vito in 3 and im going to say Forrest sneaks one out because of his funkiness and the Vito wins aren't close

 

• 65- McKenna / Woods = McKenna in 3 but Woods' recent improvement continues the upward trajectory 

 

• 70- Yianni / Duke = Yianni in 2 fun matches because all of Yianni's matches are fun plus I think Duke might have a little emotion in this one given he grew up wrestling probably idolizing Yianni a bit as a fellow NY'er

 

• 74- MM / Carr = MM in 2 blow outs 

 

• 79- Wick / Haines = Haines in 2 just because of his offense

 

• 86- Valencia / Dake = Dake in 3 although I could see Valencia nabbing the first one and just not having the gas tank to go 3 bouts in the day with Dake but who knows... this could be a toss up 

 

• 92- Hidlay / Barr = Hidlay in 2 since it seems like his time and he's going to be the savvy vet but wouldn't be shocked by the opposite result 

 

• 97- Snyder / Zilmer = Snyder in 3, he drops one due to recent distractions...

 

• 125- Hendrickson / Hillger = Hendrickson in 2 and continues his heater without being in a whole lot of danger of losing either match

If Snyder shows, he is the heaviest favorite.

If Snyder doesn't show, Zilmer is the heaviest favorite.

• 57- Lee / Lilledahl = Lee in 2 by domination me thinks. His defense is elite and when he scores his top game is suffocating.

 

• 61- Vito / Forrest = Vito in 2. It's all a mental game with Vito, and his health of course. When he is on his game he is one of the best wrestlers in the world.

 

• 65- McKenna / Woods = McKenna in 2. His experience will be the edge, only way I see Woods winning is if he runs away with it early.

 

• 70- Yianni / Duke = Yianni in 2. Again with these NY guys its mental. If he blocks out the noise, Yianni coasts to 2 wins. He's savvy, experienced, and every bit as strong as Duke is and then some.

 

• 74- MM / Carr = MM in 2. Carr has not looked great but he's game planning for one guy and that's tough to bet against. That being said that one guy is Mitchell Mesenbrink who will, with this win, start his streak of multiple world team representations.

 

• 79- Wick / Haines = Wick in 3. Eh.

 

• 86- Valencia / Dake = Dake in 2. Been a huge fan of Valencia since he was in HS and wouldn't mind being wrong here but Dake is inevitable and will get his way.

 

• 92- Hidlay / Barr = Hidlay in 2. Josh Barr is a second half athlete. I just wanted to say that. I've seen someone call Trent a "little Yazdani". I'll take him.

 

• 97- Snyder / Zilmer = Snyder in 2. Just wrestle.

 

• 125- Hendrickson / Hillger = Capt. America in 2. Mustache, no stache, Hulk smash, Lakers in 5.
