Who are the oldest wresters in recent memory to AA? I figure someone here must know this.
I'll be rooting for Micky "Old Man Strength" Phillippi to get past R12 at Nationals and AA this year. He was born in April 1997 and will be a few weeks short of his 26th birthday. Not that it's a given, but I would like to see it happen. Has there been anyone older on the podium?
I think the PA guys are helping to evolve the Iowa Style of wrestling. Arguably guys like Kemerer, ADS, Murin have changed the way Iowa wrestles through scramble situations while also adding to their own forward motion offensive style. But it is strange to see the Hawkeye faithful cheer on a funky funk guy like Siebrecht, who wrestles much more like a PSU guy than Iowa. Put him in any other color singlet and he would get booed out of CHA. On the other hand PSU has Max Dean who looks like he came right out of the Hawkeye wrestling room.
Carr impressive getting to KOT's legs tonight. In on double, waterfall, scrables, to one leg, working close to OOB, scrambling scrambling, Carr with KOT's leg shelved, trying to bring action inboungs, cradle locked. 2 Carr!
