That’s going to be true for almost everyone this year though, am I right?
Agreed. There are 2 things ZV said in his pre-match interviews that he probably wants to walk back about now. First, he disputed that JB's sprint was better than his. JB just laid 8 points on him in the 2nd period to Zahid's 1 point. Second, he said that his plan to become an Olympic and world champ at 86kg is in trouble if he can't even beat the champ at 74kg. Gotta love the self-assurance and drive, but oops.
Distant? I’d say possible #3, but he smoked Bo 2x (4 years ago).
McAndrew’s delete trigger finger is at LOVCON 3.Heaven help us if @lionlover sees this one.

I tell ya, a fella can get a bad rep for just a few misinterpreted posts on this board!
I was actually expecting Henderson to tech Echemendia. Henderson is a really good Senior level wrestler who has a lot of offense. He beat Joey McKenna at Bill Farrell less than a year ago 14-10. The fact that Echemendia was in it at 4-3 with a minute and a half to go is fairly impressive for a true freshman IMO.
What brutal season? The Steelers are 8 - 0.
After finishing out a 17-hour day (It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young) I was just now able to watch the match. I watched it with no audio, and I think I am going to start doing that more often. I found I was less distracted, found watching the match more enjoyable, and I also noticed I was able to much better analyze on the fly what was occurring in the match. I noticed with about 1:55 left in the match that Zahid's body language subtly changed, and I said to myself, "He just got tired." Jordan then started taking advantage of that and the match was over for all intents and purposes. I then watched Zahid's post-match interview, where he said that in the first four minutes he felt good, then he became tired in minutes four through six. I guess the bottom line for me is I am going to start watching more matches with the audio muted. I feel I can trust my wrestling knowledge enough now to not need to listen to the commentators' opinions on my first viewing. I can then watch the match additional times while listening to the commentators, especially Jeff Byers. Gotta' head off to bed as I am starting to nod off! Time to count some sheep. A big shoutout to all of you who make this such an enjoyable Forum to follow. Since 2020 has primarily sucked, one of the few joys I have in life is to live vicariously through all of your experiences, whether real or apocryphal (I must be deliriously tired to pull that word out of my nether regions at 0011 hours!) God Bless, Gaylon 😎 😎
Thanks for remembering. What they say is true, you are often more busy in retirement than when you were working! Also, I need to stop volunteering my time so often. 😎
Same! On all that!
But I still openly scoff at mess board pundits asserting Echemendia can either:
a. Actually make the cut to 141 and;
b. Look as fresh, fast, tank-worthy, as he did against Henderson
I suppose it's still possible that Ech is some Cuban branch of the Ruben Valencia bird-bone DNA tree, but count me as extremely scoffy on the matter.
