Wrestleknownothing

I waited to share: Let's start by acknowledging the obvious. The Covid complications are a real issue for any numbers-based analysis. Among our eight are three wrestlers who only had three shots at the tournament (though each for a different reason and only one due to Covid). This makes counting stats very difficult to assess. So, I also include some season averages. But even then, how do you account for Zahid Valencia and Nick Suriano, who had four regular seasons, but only three tournaments? Well, I dealt with them harshly. In the case of Suriano, who was entered, but did not wrestle the tournament, I gave him credit for 33rd the year he did not wrestle. In the case of Valencia, who was suspended while ranked #1, I gave him credit for 34th. Reasonable people might handle this differently. But only unreasonable people waste their time pulling all the data, so there is that. In the end though, I am not sure it makes any difference. Valencia still comes out on top when reduced to rankings by category. As a reminder, The pinfall, tech, and major percentages are percentages of matches that ended at or below that category. Pinfall, TF and MD rank are the average WrestleStat ranking of the defeated wrestler, so higher is better. Pinfall and TF time are the average amount of time it took to get the fall or tech. So, lower is better.

If he doesn't, I will.

I am surprised you don't know. Ferrari talks about it A LOT.

What I wouldn't do for old man joints

Then I change my answer. He is 110% guaranteed to win, even if he doesn't wrestle. Prove me wrong, math nerd.

I think it is 81 teams, so 810 times 4 (not 5, this is why you leave the math to me) or 3,240. But that is not even the correct denominator. I named 5 FAVORITES off the top of my head, not five random guys hoping to get the 33 seed. Now we are at 5 of 40. Yikes. Steveson doesn't stand a chance. No wonder he probably doesn't come back.

I'm not predicting a thing. The point is a lot is unpredictable. I didn't predict Lee getting pinned, Valencia getting stupid, or the world getting sick. Oh, and I didn't predict Ferrari driving on the wrong side of the road or Peyton Robb almost having a leg amputated. There are five examples in just the past four seasons.

I had similar thoughts about Spencer Lee, Zahid Valencia, and Vincenzo Joseph in their last year.

Sounds like an old timer. Since 2018 for me.

He still has a shot at being a 50% 2xer.

Of one thing I can be absolutely certain. You have not read a word of Karl Marx. Of one thing you can be certain. I will not waste my time further.

Cael Sanderson talking about Casey Cunningham - "I'm his biggest fan. I want to be there if he ever scores on me so I can celebrate with him."

They are both 3x ers and graduated before Covid (2019). I believe only Vincenzo Joseph lost a shot at three due to Covid. I included both in the 3xer thread.

I do not think this is universally true. The NIL would need to apply for 501(c)3 status with the IRS (and the IRS would need to approve their application). I am sure some have done this, but I doubt all have, as it limits what they are able to do with the money collected.

You need to look up the word Marxism

50% can be most if there are more than two choices, but apparently Jimmy can't count past two.

Oh, I found someone else and she is gorgeous. Congrats to us.

Since he still has a year of eligibility left, I did not include him, even if it seems unlikely he will use it.

It will be a long wait. I want happy, pretty things in my life.

Not of the WrestleStat Era

My rank: 1. Valencia 2. Dean 3. Martinez, Joseph, Lee 6. Suriano 7. O'Connor 9. Heil

For wrestlers who started their career after 2013 (the WrestleStat Era) there have been 8 2-timers. In chronological order of when their career ended: Gabe Dean Isaiah Martinez Dean Heil Zahid Valencia Vincenzo Joseph Nick Lee Austin O'Connor Nick Suriano Rank them.

I always found this a stretch, too.

Oak Park is the closest suburb. One side of Austin Blvd is Chicago the other side is Oak Park.
