Tony Nelson just laying on dudes for 5 minutes of riding time was groan inducingDean Heil, Jesse Delgado, Will Lewan… most painful to watch. Discuss!
We dont have to look far for a hwt that seems perfectly content with slug-riding.Tony Nelson just laying on dudes for 5 minutes of riding time was groan inducing
I was explaining to Mrs. JA (who is a very casual wrestling fan) why PSU fans despise Lewan…because of the boring style, stalling, low scoring matches that are always destined for SV. When I was done she says ‘Isn’t that the same as Beau Bartlett?’ Oof 😔It feels like he wrestles to get to SV lately. It's the worst style of wrestling I have seen in a really long time.
Mason Beckman.Dean Heil, Jesse Delgado, Will Lewan… most painful to watch. Discuss!
Heil gets a rule enacted to stop his nonsense, Chris Villalonga gets an endearing nickname….Stallalonga.Dean Heil, Jesse Delgado, Will Lewan… most painful to watch. Discuss!
Amine had a few and so did Augustine. Must be a Michigan requirementLewan must hold the record😴
I bet he doesn't. I'm guessing he's about even with TDs and stalls against. For whatever reason, he seems to get one, then ups activity enough that refs don't call another.I bet he has more stall calls against him than he has takedowns.
I never saw a guy work the circle and then do a split and made his back ankle impossible to get like Jesse D. Refs never called stalling on him.Dean Heil, Jesse Delgado, Will Lewan… most painful to watch. Discuss!
Well, buckle up. You're going to see it again real soon.I never saw a guy work the circle and then do a split and made his back ankle impossible to get.
Coming soon to a penitentiary near you.Well, buckle up. You're going to see it again real soon.
JP O'Connor v Dan Vallimont.I never saw a guy work the circle and then do a split and made his back ankle impossible to get.
Nico had him do many times but couldn't finish.
I bet he has more stall calls against him than he has takedowns.
I'm sure Many will disagree, but for me, Chance Marstellar .....
Most of these guys are more than capable offensively too (Beckman aside).
Does Verk fit this description? Who else, I saw Bartlett above.
Sat next to Delgado at us open while Nico was wrestling one year. He was rooting for Nico and said he liked him.I never saw a guy work the circle and then do a split and made his back ankle impossible to get like Jesse D. Refs never called stalling on him.
Nico had a leg so many times but couldn't finish because his other leg was almost in walkway to the bleachers
They've each been granted four additional years of eligibility. For wrestling, this time.Just saw that DeAugustino had 4 of 5 go into SV.
Maybe its a Michigan thing nowadays.
Geez I hope these guys are gone after this year.
I agree with this. He’s incredibly good on his feet and could build a big cushion fast with more catch & release, or end it early with a tech. Hopefully some of what we’ve seen with the riding has been intent to work on some things, but the parallel slug-ride optics have warranted some of the stall calls, in my view.We dont have to look far for a hwt that seems perfectly content with slug-riding.
Beau wants to counter everyone. His opponents know it, so it becomes a dance until stall calls or riding time force some offense.Beau doesn't belong with those other names. The frustrating thing about him is that he doesn't need to wrestle that way, yet he sometimes does.
It's clear that Bartlett and Mendez are close in talent, but the difference is that Jessie doesn't fart around with guys that don't want to wrestle.
Bartlett let Hamdan dance around and hold him to a 4-2 decision on Saturday. Three weeks ago, Mendez teched Hamdan 19-2.
When a 73% bonus rate isn't good enough, we've officially run out of things to complain about.Why the hell is Kerk catching strays? You should be forced to watch all of Nelson's matches on an endless loop for comparing the two.
good point, consider all of his riding time. Guess he doesn't like the catch and release gameMy comments are observational and discussion based, not complaints. I believe his bonus rate could be 90%+ with a catch & release approach. Regardless of the finer points with how he’s getting the W’s, I’m incredibly happy for his success this year and he’s the one I most want to see get his first title. 😄
I just think the catch and release game at heavyweight can be a brutal task. Getting sprawled on repeatedly by 250+ lbs can't be fun. I 100% think Kerk has the talent to do so, but maybe he doesn't like to. If it ain't broke...good point, consider all of his riding time. Guess he doesn't like the catch and release game
Also: Kerk has had a few knee surgeries. Why subject his body to meaningless wear and tear, especially at HWT, when he's already winning his matches comfortably?I just think the catch and release game at heavyweight can be a brutal task.

Let’s add Kellen Russell to that conversation. My goodness, watching paint dry was more exciting than watching him wrestle.Dean Heil, Jesse Delgado, Will Lewan… most painful to watch. Discuss!
I think it has more to do with how effortlessly Kerk beats people. It looks like he should be able to blow opponents out of the water, but he often "settles" for a major and four minutes of riding time when we're used to guys lighting up the scoreboard like it's a pinball machine. We're like spoiled kids who are never happy, regardless of the gifts we're showered with!Kerk 73% bonus rate: why isn't he more active?
Cassar 71% bonus rate: awesome!

Yep. Kerk blowing out Hendrickson set us up to expect that every time.I think it has more to do with how effortlessly Kerk beats people.
