Bout card for all star classic

Anyone care to make a prediction? It all feels very dicey. I feel safe on the following:
Cruz wins 125
Gross wins 133
The rest feel too close to call even though I'm a huge Mark Hall fan this is a weird moment in the year. I feel like he peaks on the big stage. if he wins Sunday he will be a very good bet in March.

I find intrigue at every weight. The Q school of thought is to try new things, and have fun. He was there to compete, no doubt, though not like a dual or tournament during the season. It'll be a fun event, I'm personally not going to put much stock in the results.

Went to several in the past, can't make this one...and while I can't quite explain it, the "feel" is different than during official competitions.
 
Reading the 157 match up reminds me how loaded 157 is this year.

Pantaleo & Clagon are excellent wrestlers, with results & pedigree.

.... and ranked 8 & 9 ? Wow.
 
I'm not even convinced about 133 though I am about 165. All in all, lots of intriguing matchups.

But I'll take a stab at it:
125 No. 1 Darian Cruz, Sr. (Lehigh) vs. No. 4 Nick Piccininni, So. (Oklahoma State)
133 No. 1 Seth Gross, Jr. (South Dakota State) vs. No. 2 Stevan Micic, So. (Michigan)
141 No. 2 Kevin Jack, Sr. (NC State) vs. No. 3 Bryce Meredith, Sr. (Wyoming)
149 No. 3 Max Thomsen, So. (Northern Iowa) vs. No. 6 Matthew Kolodzik, So. (Princeton)
157 No. 8 Alec Pantaleo, Jr. (Michigan) vs. No. 9 B.J. Clagon, Sr. (Rider)
165 No. 5 Chad Walsh, Sr. (Rider) vs. Jonathan Schleifer, Sr. (Princeton)
174 No. 1 Mark Hall, So. (Penn State) vs. No. 3 Zahid Valencia, So. (Arizona State)
184 No. 3 Pete Renda, Sr. (NC State) vs. No. 4 Drew Foster, Jr. (Northern Iowa)
197 No. 1 Kollin Moore, So. (Ohio State) vs. No. 2 Jared Haught, Sr. (Virginia Tech)
285 No. 3 Tanner Hall, Jr. (Arizona State) vs. No. 4 Nick Nevills, Jr. (Penn State)

I will not cast the first stone that's for sure. But I cannot doubt Cael inc.s ability to get our guys ready.

Hey! is choosing only one underdog in the Q spirit of "try new things, and have fun" ? ;)

Q continued that spirit in the dual with Pitt that year. After losing to Wilps at the All Star Classic he pinned Wilps in the dual at Pitt with something I have no name for. Basically had Wilps head and one are scissored with his legs and pinned him. I was there in Fitzgerald and pretty much everyone was WTF was that? :D

I didn't know what it was but I liked it.

The all-star match may have been the sloppiest match I've ever seen anyone wrestle. :eek: But I was there at Pitt also. Wasn't it a figure 4 on Wilps' head?
 
Q vs. Wilps:

That match was like watching 2 drunks at the Gaff trying to dance at 1:45 am, except less coordinated. Thankfully many better memories of Andrew.

Drunk girls? If so, I've seen it and scored it.
 
Nothing will top the night 3 drunk Gaff girls danced, umm, assertively to I Touch Myself.

But that's a story for another day + adult beverages.

I had some of my better nights at the gaff during the summer. During the normal year, not as good. $5 pitchers of captain, sun dresses, black pants, newly made 21 yo, and a half empty dance floor.....ahhh the memories.
