back in the old days.. the coaches kind of picked who they wanted to go.
if a newbie (or someone they didn't trust) won, they took them back to camp and made them win several in a row.. so they could get their choice in.
read wrestlers at the trials...
the russians did this for years... putting THE MAN in, whether he won or not
im not saying taylor would have won... who knows what would have happened...
just that
brooks will be fine... he just needs experience
