POLL: Which RAF Champ will defend their belt the most times consecutively?

Which male champ will have the most consecutive title defenses without a loss?

I think Yianni because being off the World team's this year and coming back from his heart issue - I speculate he's going to want to be active and push to be on the card to get competition reps.

What he said

[BruceyB]

I'm going to be curious to see how many of the top senior level guys will be competing during the ~October-March timeframe. I've said it in other threads but you'd think it would be enticing to get some money and competition without having to leave the U.S. But I know CP has said many times how hard it is to actually get guys that are big names to compete. 

To answer the question though, of the current "champs" I'd say Yianni. We don't know if active college wrestlers will be allowed to compete in the events, and I highly doubt any would during the college season. That means his biggest domestic competitors would be #1 Austin Gomez, #2 Ian Parker, and #3 Bryce Andonian.

If I were to guess, Yianni doesn't wrestle on the next card and Gomez wrestles someone like Parker, Andonian, or Lovett.

Tomasello, all love to him, but there is a good list of guys that can beat him.

I thought Real Woods was in a good place since all of the domestic talent at 65kg is in college other than McKenna. But then I remembered ol' Seabass would be the favorite in that match-up.

Evan Wick actually could have a pretty good run at this considering that Hamiti is the only guy I think can really push him domestically that is also in their post-college career.

I wouldn't pick against Dake if he wrestled against Parker or (if his situation is resolved) Starocci but at 190lbs and (insert, he's getting younger, bro, joke here) at 34 going on 35 years old, it's hard to say how much longer he can hold off other competitors. And if Zahid decides to join the fray, Kyle would obviously be an underdog there.

Nickal should have lost this match, but Cardenas made a tactical blunder forcing that gut when he had the criteria lead. Bo ain't gonna stay on top for long.

Of course we all love Wyatt, and I hope he ends up being the answer to this question, but either Paris or Gable could potentially stop him (I know Gable isn't wrestling now, but who tf knows what he's going to do at this point).

If you made it this far, I'm a little bit shocked. But it's Sunday afternoon and I'm bored.

Zahid is already signed with RAF. I wonder if he'll wrestle at his competition weight against Dake or at his walk around weight again Nickal. The latter would be more interesting since we've seen the former three times recently

I'd imagine he'd like to get that match back after the spanking incident.
