McKenna is average sized 65 KG guy. He isn't going to be able to do much against some of those HP driven, eastern bloc gents. Parris is going to win the whole fckn thing and everyone is going to be like "STEVESON 1, PARRIS 2, THEN EVERYONE ELSE" This will age well. Unfortunately for McKenna.

(duh)?

It's Deborah, damnit!

I don't think they follow. Results are for the weights wrestled.

I was talking actual wrestling results. Comparable data. You're speaking in riddles to attempt to make a point yet look stoopid while doing it. Proceed, please.

I mean... jokes aside... a few years back Malik Amine made it further in his bracket at worlds than Zain Retherford did... in the same 65 KG bracket.

It is fact that weight classes exist for a reason. That means that this becomes a P4P discussion based on results for these gents in the specific weight classes they competed in. This also means that Steveson being the HWT GOAT makes him the GOAT of GOATs. Statistically in a P4P sort of 'per-weight' discussion? He probably isn't up there. There are some toons that absolutely rack up much better bonus point ratios at lower weights and they will always be ahead statistically.

There were two sets of twins, so not all the Finesilvers represent them if there are three representing them currently. Also Matt Finesilver, the larger of the younger twins, is having to wrestle 92 KG. He was 174lbs a year ago then went 184lbs this season just to wrestle 92 KG (202.8lbs) this freestyle season. Not an ideal/easy path there.

You only have one Doctorate? I have twelve.

This guy, for starters, should not be allowed in the room let alone be on the team. One down. Figure the rest out.

He looked so damn stiff at WTT. What does this mean for his job with USAW?

Bono can eat a veiny one.

What the actual phuk?

Sorry meant Jared Hill, the actual starter for Oklahoma at 157... he is still there.

Nick Picininni... wow... blast from the past there. Looking at his tapology was also fun as hell. He beat Freddie Rodriguez in his last fight in December of last year. Freddie was a phenom out of high school that has a few rough years at Oklahoma due to off-the-mat issues and landed at SIUE (Alfredo Rodriguez). I honestly think he might have been the best version of himself his Junior or Senior year in High School. He just had no fear and would lay it all out there. That said... the same Freddie Rodriguez that Picininni demolished via R1 Arm Triangle Choke also beat... guess who... ... ? Gavin Teasedale the year prior. Good shit.

Picklo to 184? If not who sits between him and Nachohouse? Butler to 149? Carlson or Nachohouse to 157?

Pretty happy that random forum gents don't get to be doctors and shit to the wrestlers that need it.

1 - What does this mean for his brother? Has he matured enough to not need to be babysat by his brother? Also, could we see Ed compete for Croatia in a few years? 2 - I thought that was poppycock? 3 - The student-athletes seem to think the University is overreacting (per various twitters) 4 - Poor guy 5 - Flo needs to step up there...

They could change Tarlton to FLoUniversity and be sponsored entirely by Flo - who is Texas based. That would be cool.

Styles make matches. I think Brooks beats an injured Moore. I don't think or know if he beats a thicc Macchiavello. He isn't as big or strong as Macchiavello and styles do make matches. I had posted something in the old boards about a ladder system. We would need to place out to 6th or 8th at WTT/US Open for it to be practical, but allowing folks to challenge once per month (say the 2nd Saturday of each month - one per month) would do us a USA Wrestling a lot of good. Brooks the #2, for example, could challenge the 5th ranked guy up or down a weight sort of thing. Then the next month, providing the 4th ranked guy didn't challenge the 3rd ranked guy, he could challenge up to the 4th at that same weight class. If there is an injury concern then he could leapfrog. We had a decent thread about it, I thought. I will see if I can find it.

Opinions and criteria often do not go hand in hand.

The criteria was laid out well in advance. He made the choice to attempt to dethrone the 86 KG king rather than go 92 KG at WTT. He had the opportunity to decline his Final X berth and chose to not do so. The rules simply stated if someone (returning medalist, US Open winner, or WTT winner) accept their bid to Final X they cannot compete in another weight.

For clarification towards some of us lower intellect Americans over here... Jun 25th - 28th in San Francisco June 29th - July 1st in LA/Venice Beach area July 2nd - 4th in Huntington Beach July 5th - 8th in San Diego July 11th - 14th in Las Vegas July 22nd in San Francisco Best of luck, mate.

Everyone did.
