Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Mesenbrink has some similarities to David Taylor. Relentless pace, non-stop attacking. Technique over brute force. Joey Blaze has some similarities to Kyle Dake. Strong, positionally sound. Tough rider. It seems unlikely, but a guy like Joey Blaze is probably the best bet to take out Mesenbrink at NCAAs. If he can slow down Mesenbrink's pace and put a hard ride on him for 1+ minutes he has a puncher's chance at pulling off a huge upset.
BAC Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Actually one of Jimmy's better posts. He's not entirely wrong about the parallels. I think Blaze is the only guy Mesenbrink won't major either time he faces him this year. Blaze has given up exactly zero takedowns this year, and has been bonused exactly zero times in his college career. Can one of those tight matches translate into a Blaze win? Highly unlikely. But I do think they'll be way closer than people think, and Blaze is the only one with a chance to pull it off IMO.
11986 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 it's not Jimmy's worst effort but Dake had wins over Taylor already by the time they met in NCAA finals, Dake was the #1 seed, and he was going for his 4th title. That's an entirely different level from where Blaze is right now. It's not as fun but a more apt comparison might be Blaze and Tyler Caldwell, who Taylor beat the next year.

Joey Blaze just beat Tyler Lilliard 4-3 on a bad reaction time call but now he’s Kyle Dake reincarnated?
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Maybe Dake is Mesenbrink's Dake since they're in the same room.

Mesenbrink and DT don't wrestle very similarly at all outside of the fact they both score a lot of points. DT's style (especially in college) was effortless, flowing, and extremely clean. He usually broke guys because he was scoring on them like it was a drilling session and there was nothing they could do. Mesenbrink wrestles like a spaz most of the time and has body parts flailing, spams wild shots not stop until he locks around the leg, and breaks guys through relentless pursuit and overwhelming them. You'd never see David selling out for a shot so hard that he skids across the mat on his own head. Mitchell does this constantly.

I mean, Dake beat the dreaded Frank Hickman 3-2... does that mean Dake was bad?
JimmyCinnabon Posted March 3 Posted March 3 You’re the kind of guy who thinks Grizzly Adams didn’t have a beard.
