I said this as well. Dake looks as big as he did when he wasn't letting the world score on him at 79 KG. He looks pristine.
If you believe in Karma, which I do not, then you would actually believe that Match 1 had little to nothing to do with it. It was Karmic towards PRTC and, more specifically, Turdberger. For JB to have won that series, Slay would have not cornered Turdberger and made him wear an entirely different, unaffiliated singlet.
Chance is an entirely different wrestler when he goes to 74 KG.
Had he ran train through Chance then Worlds, I might have agreed - much like if Retherford runs train through 70 KG at Worlds, I think he should also consider going up.
The only way he goes 86 KG at this point is if he pulls a Garrett and realizes he cannot make 74 KG about a month out. That version of JB would only be about 81-82 KG wrestling 86 KG, though. He wouldn't succeed.
