Heck SVN hammered him this Winter. Like 3 weeks ago.
2025 Big Ten Tournament thread - Day 1
- Thread starter Lions072
- Start date
No, both Cannon and Sasso were out.
Hate to admit it but Cannon is gonna be very good. Lanky and darn good on top
Colorado boys doing good tonight. Both Vombaur and Cannon are from CO
Mesenbrink gives up a Td :10 in. What the hell is going on. Not worried about this one but still
Am I on the wrong channel? I'm watching Bizarro Tournament.
It took MM 2:10 to get a takedown, this tournament must be taking place in the upside down.
Forgot how angry this tournament makes us every single year
Mantanona is going to pay for this early energy output

Last year was the one exception
Wow..... brutal bullshit "potentially dangerous" call in Messenbrink match. And then calls another.... complete horseshit calls.
Mitch wrestling angry is so fun to watch.
That was the trend for those two. Taller and longer than BB and SVN. Kasak's going to have to contend with that tomorrow, too.
Has BB ever wrestled someone not taller than him?
Anyone remember Mantanona’s brother who wrestled for OU? He was like one of the best wrestlers in the country for the first 2.5 minutes. Looks like the gas tank might be a genetic thing.
So basically Kennedy just throws hands for three minutes and nothing else
Amazing watching Haines all stretched on his belly and build up for the TD so fast
Well at least the very few letdowns aren’t happening against 3rd-place Iowa.
