Four gladiators, all very much deserving of this prestigious award. None moreso than the ZAIN TRAIN!!!

When did they include stalling, as a Hodge criteria?

From "MSU158" on TheMat. You cannot make this stuff up!



He was definitely the most dominant at NCAA's, but for the sake of accuracy, he only had 1 pin.

Like I said, he makes Jammenz look like a rookie.

Not bad for a guy that stalls on top.

It's stalling because he bends the bottom wrestler in half. If he worked at it he could fold them into quarters.

He and other persistent trolls remind me of those Japanese soldiers coming out of the Philippine jungle in the 60s and 70s thinking WWII was still going on. Poor, deluded souls. Let the beatings continue!

He predicted Zain to take 4th last year, lmao.

That guy should just kill himself to raise the world's average IQ level

He like jammenX work at their craft. You have to give them that.

From my perspective, I give them more trolling street cred than the poster who posts the same 10-12 words 1000 times in 100s of threads across the interwebs. Originality, thought and a certain je ne sais quoi are entertaining and in some circles graded.

Congrats to Zain! I'm curious how Bo didn't finish higher in the voting when he pinned his way through the tournament and then defeated Dean who was going for his 3rd title?

Wasn't undefeated on year, but do agree Bo deserved OW at NCAA Tourney given his performance and win over Dean.
