    Well $500k was pretty much confirmed for Buchanan and Teemer, two guys with 1 year left that haven’t won a title, and Starocci claims to be making “a lot” more, so $2 million offered to Blaze wouldn’t shock me

    Makhachev, Dvalishvili, Topuria, Muhammed, Du Plessis, and Jones all have wrestling experience according to Wikipedia. 6 of 8 men’s champs seems like a pretty good ratio

    He didn’t say the number came from TR, just that he scolded him for posting about it

    How many Americans?
  5. 1032004
    I do, but I feel like on average he generally ends up being somewhere around 70% accurate
  6. 1032004
    Ah, didn’t see that one. I saw he recently commented about Tom Ryan saying something to him about his comments about what tOSU supposedly offered Marcus Blaze. Didn’t see the post but I heard someone say the claim was $2.4 million?

    I think it comes down to losses for the Steveson/Ferrari comparison. Steveson hasn’t lost since 2019 and was undefeated in his 2 title years, compared to Ferrari taking a loss the year he won. But overall I would say we shouldn’t be looking at results prior to like 2023 at the latest, but Steveson and Ferrari are certainly unique cases…

    whoops, Freudian slip

    I don’t think they’re looking at 2022, or even 2023 for Mendez. They’re comparing 2024 Mendez vs 2023 Alirez

    Can we make this the predictions thread? 125: Iowa dec 3-0 Iowa 133: Frost Dec Ayala 3-3 141: Redding Dec Block 6-3 ISU 149: Parco Dec Echemendia 6-6 157: Johnson Dec Teemer 9-6 ISU 165: Caliendo maj 10-9 Iowa 174: Brands Dec 13-9 184: Arnold Dec Bockman 16-9 197: Buchanan dec Carroll 19-9 285: Bastida Dec Kerk 19-12 There are several interesting matches but even giving them a few upsets/tossups I’m not really seeing a path for ISU here.

    I believe they’ve acknowledged P4P has more of a subjectiveness to it, no? If we’re talking Ferrari, don’t we have to acknowledge his loss to Glazier? I know they don’t count injury defaults, not sure if there is a policy on post match DQ’s.

    I agree with Alirez #1, but unless I missed it I’m not seeing that he’s ever wrestled Matthews edit: ah, looks like it was at a previous All-Star
  13. 1032004
    I wouldn’t rule out Arnold in Carver, especially if it’s true he’s put on weight since last season
  14. 1032004
    Not sure what the specific reason was especially since he wrestled 133 his first year after transferring, but Matt Ramos finished higher than Pat McKee in each of the last 2 NCAA’s and was also 3-0 against him.
  15. 1032004
    I would think the scripted aspect would be the key point.
  16. 1032004
    Don’t they barely support many of their own fighters?

    Except to wrestle this season he is probably making at least 4-5 years worth of salary of the average recent college grad, not bad for playing a sport (on top of what he made in WWE and with the Bills). I saw someone that put it pretty well…this is probably just a job for him. Can’t fault him for cashing in while he still can.

    Bonus isn’t really factored in rankings is it? Yes Mendez had a tougher schedule overall by virtue of being in the B10, but Alirez still racked up a lot of good wins (as did Mendez of course). I wouldn’t complain if Mendez was #1, but I think the reasoning to have Alirez #1 makes sense
  19. 1032004
    You could argue this ranking is inconsistent with ranking O’Toole above Haines, but I disagree. That’s probably the Cole Matthews factor
  20. 1032004
    This seems like good enough reason to me. Especially since Alirez beat one of those two losses (Bartlett) in his only try, although I know Mendez also beat him at B10’s and NCAA’s. What argument does Mendez have over Alirez unless maybe you start going back to 2022?
  21. 1032004
    Would probably also throw Sasso in the mix but I think I’d agree that Bearclaw could be the biggest threat with the familiarity factor probably playing a role
  22. 1032004
    Couldn’t handle the southeast heat I guess though, took 2 losses at the Southeast Open to guys from Chattanooga and UVA…after also losing to a different guy from UVA in the dual the week prior
  23. 1032004
    Don’t remember, you may be right, I know he had done that with a couple commitments I believe, although I also think he has since stopped for the most part
  24. 1032004
    I would put that more on the apparent injury most likely. He had a great year for a true freshman, but he wasn’t exactly “prolific” last year IMO. He should’ve lost to Kilkeary, and a lot of his wins were very close including 2 SV wins en route to his B10 title. I’d be very surprised to see him place top 5 at 133, but he could certainly AA.
  25. 1032004
    I agree he does that too, don’t believe it was the case here. I do see a thread on BWI or whatever they’re calling it these days about “wrestleoff rumors,” not sure but it appears to be based off Minnow’s tweet(s). He actually posted in the thread saying Beau Bartlett supposedly asked him to take them down
