Mike Mal has the best podcast out there for wrestling nerds. I don't hate on the FRL guys or Bachamania. Their hearts are in the right place and they do a lot for the sport but they are the TMZ of college wrestling so take it for what it is
Picking Jesse against the field at 149 doesn't mean the same rule applies to Vega. I probably did a bad job making my point. I'm not saying Vega won't be successful up a weight. But if he does move up he won't have that length advantage anymore or as much and will need more tools in his bags to work with.
He'll have to make adjustments if/when he moves up in weight. He uses his length to his advantage @141. Won't be the case at the upper weights. Will be fun to see the adjustments he and Taylor come up with
Theres only so many things they can do to get more activity. We could eliminate collar ties, dropping to a knee, get rid of finger lacing, etc and some guys will still wrestle at a certain pace with limited output.
For McGowan it wouldn't have changed a thing. He was stalled out of the match the last time they wrestled in February. The guy just doesn't engage. He makes Will Lewan look like Jax Forrest
Yeah, Weight gain and muscle automatically means steroids. Especially according to the experts on this board.. AJ Ferrair is helping lead the investigation
A guy once asked me if I believed in the blood of Christ. Asked him what's that. He responded it's the blood of Jesus Christ. I said no. Sounds weird. He told me I was probably going to hell. I told him I'll probably enjoy the parties in hell more so it was all good.
