57		Spencer		World champ. This is just a workout.
61		Vito		Hot take: this is the last time Vito makes a world team and that makes me sad
65		Woods		McKenna gets upset. Always so close and never catches the right bounce. 2020ne all over again.
70		Yianni		Vet savviness wins the day for Yianni but I wouldn't be surprised if Duke makes it very competitive
74		Carr		This will be the best series of the day. Either guy can bring home hardware.
79		Haines		Yep, this is a Final X matchup…
86		Dake		Zahid takes a match but Dake breaks him
92		Barr		Upsets happen, and this seems like as good a dart throw as any
97		Snyder		Snyder is no joke. He won't be caught with his pants down & this will be a QV. Luckily this will be recorded so we can all enjoy forever.
125		Hendrickson		Next topic.

If I'm Camp Zilmer, I show up in matching TShirts: "QV Bareback BJ"

On the front side he lost to Aaron Brooks 4 times

I understand your point, that AB is a phenom and it’s dumb to hold someone else to that standard, but considering AB is clearly Trent’s roadblock, and Trent’s worst loss to AB came in their senior year, wouldn’t that serve as a decent indicator that innovation and evolution is overdue for trent?

Trent would be an amazing (and at this point sorely needed) ambassador for USA wrestling, we have certainly gone feast to famine in all of 12 months.

But he would really benefit from some more attacks.  He has the most unique underhook certainly, but he’s been doing it forever.  His underhook is like Andonian’s bodylock, 9 out of 10 can’t stop it, but those who can don’t really have a hard time winning the match otherwise once that particular technique is sidelined.

Genuine question because wrestlestat doesn't go to youth level - has Hidlay ever beat Brooks? I know of the Fargo finals tech but that's it. Brooks is a terminator and not calling apples to apples but we have seen quality guys blocked by an elite domestic opponent before (JB vs Dake, Taylor, Howe, Nolf, Imar, etc)

I see you have predicted him losing. I obviously have the reverse, quite confident in a sweep, so don’t be surprised when Hidlay comes home with some hardware

I don't

 

He hasn't needed to. His underhook series is elite

His undertook will not be effective internationally. Technically savvy wrestlers will shut him down.
