World Team Trials Schedule

The reasoning makes sense, but maybe a bit premature. Handling Lujan pretty easily right now.
Totally out of gas after 2 minutes and got very lucky a 4 for Lujan turned into 1 for him on review or he would have blown an 8-0 lead. If he hangs with Ringer at all then I'll back off a bit. Still just doesn't look right.
 
He doesn't look like he's having much fun these days.
Him and Metcalf have been compared quite a bit throughout their careers, a hypothetical matchup is talked about a lot. Not surprisingly, their style (straight line attacks, control, conditioning) isn't always the best for free.

I don’t know if I’d say it’s totally lucky when they take away a bad call 4. Seems like that is just getting the call right.

Same achilles heal with getting exposed on their shots too. Remarkably similar careers.

Looking forward to Nolf vs. JB. I think Nolf can definitely win.

And predicting that to happen.
 
Fix looks so much more powerful and quick up at 61. He's too big for 57. I wonder how much holding his weight for trials affected him last year at 133. Beating RBY would still have been tough, but he looked slow and weak that weekend comparatively.
 
Winner on :02 seconds of RT in rideouts is so much more exciting than a scramble on the edge of the mat in the closing seconds, you're right.
Yeah, winning on “criteria” is so thrilling. You’re right.
 
Compared to a rideout snoozefest, yes it absolutely is. It promotes wrestling. Somebody is always losing so somebody always has to score. You won't see two guys stare at each other for 45 seconds in a tied match waiting for OT in freestyle.
Lol. Stepout points ending in a tie? Come on, man. YAAAAWWWWWNNNN. Wake me when it’s over.
 
I fail to see how that is worse than escapes ending in a tie?
Apparently Tony Nelson is a distant memory.

Dom Bradley is competing today -- worse yet. Note today, as opposed to his folk career:
1. Bradley actually scored 3 whole points today.
2. It wasn't enough. He lost.

Chance was winded against JB - not taking anything way from Cstar as this is the 2nd time he has beaten Chance.JO and Zane are simply that close and getting to know each other too well. Am interested in Zane's wrestle backs. Here's to Nolf...no one talks about him at 79..

61 kg semis:
Fix 2-0 over Graff
Tomasello 15-2 over Colon

Suriano alive in consis, beat Mack 3-1. Next faces NW incoming freshman Carter Young, who beat Nahshon Garrett earlier today.
 
Zain vs. Jacques on deck.
CStar in the hole vs. Wick.
Nolf vs. JB in about 4 bouts.

Deakin looks big no matter what weight he wrestles
He beats Pantaleo on injury default though he (Deakin) was leading at the time

Don’t want to see Pants injured, but glad Deakin won. I don’t want someone who Zain continually drilled repping us at Worlds. Plus, Pantaleo annoys me for some reason.
