Hammerlock3

They should, the event is formatted specifically to make it friendly to that.

He's such an "O'Doyle rules" dork.

He's never played

I assume it means he hasn't wrestled in a sense that could be considered both completely competitive and without any constraints not included in a typical match.

"Can you introduce me to Peter Dinklage?"

I'm really trying to clear the slate...mostly cause i'm way more grossed out by michigan now.

its a take based on factors invisible to me.

Just a feeling, Mullen compete's very "freely" (terminology I don't feel embarassed saying as opposed to "he has 'it'" or "gamer"), he's been a football player up until now, still see his tracjectory as steeply upward. On the other hand Feldman, who looked amazing in high school, hasn't started as fast as I would have hoped, and I'm happy to refer to it as prejudice, but I just don't think tOSU develops the talent they have as well as most top schools. Another example along the same vein that means nothing is kharchla. I predicted he would be a multiple champ, I saw him at fargo and his whose #1 match and was amazed at his the size of the angles he made off his own shots, didn't seem like he ever needed a second move to finish, then he committed to tOSU and my heart sank a little. Again thats just a narrative in my head its not an argument, but we're basically on here to get information and share our head narratives right?

sure, is that a hot take?

I'm taking Mullen

I got a lot of tOSU prejudice, he's gotta prove it for me.

Yeah Mullen seems to have "it", "finds a way"....the things dumb people say after someone wins. Feldman killed him in HS I'd be curious to see them in college.

Parker Ferrel, Super 32 champ also in the room.

I had heard there was but checked with more reliable sources and there was no wrestle off.

after checking beyond the first thing I heard, that's correct no wrestle off.

my bad

Shoulda started the "semantic arguments thread".

that clears it up!

but I thought the only notable thing about the comment was that it was contemptibly banal, defying the google definition.

I have to point out that this just isn't true. Certainly few thought he'd beat tsargush but thats not the same as saying he's not a medal threat.

whose gonna beat him? not that no one can but what warrants a 0%

"a piece of commentary, typically produced quickly in response to a recent event, whose primary purpose is to attract attention." not sure that fits either of out definitions but I'm sure you're not anxious to hash out a definition.

I didn't mean that you did, I was referencing my claim that someone saying the tranfers won't outplace themselves is hardly a "hot take".

fair enough, but in the sense that you'd say 2/3 will out place their highest placement so far? I think I meant something more along the lines of "bashing iowa is so trendy right now that its hard to associate it with the mild amount of courage it takes to register a hot take"

thats not a hot take, both because its 3 guys who've been in college too long and because no one on this forum is gonna stick up for Iowa anyway.
