Final X Matchups

Where do you guys see these wrestlers going in 2020? My guesses based on little are in bold

Dake 74 or 86? 74
Dieringer 74 or 86? 86, can he really get down without shedding some serious muscle?
Cox 86 or 97? 97
Bo 86 or 97? 97
Zahid 74 or 86? 86
Hall 74 or 86? 74
Colon 57 or 65? 65
Garrett 57 or 65? Is he hurt? 57
Nico already said he's going 57

I think that covers the biggest names at non-Olympic weights

Marky has always been a strait shooter when it comes to weight questions, he said at least 2 years ago he will never see 74 again, his words folks, take it or leave it.

Right, I remember him saying that as well. I just don't see how he can get all the way to 86. But who saw Taylor getting to 86 either so who knows
 
Do you think it's a factor at all that he wouldn't move to 74 just because Burroughs is his teammate?

Similarly, do you think that has any factor in Bo's decision with DT at 86?
No idea on Green -- but that won't stop Nolf and Hall being at 74.

I don't think Bo is affected by Taylor at 86 kg -- other than maybe witnessing Taylor needing to bulk up the past few years, and deciding he needs to bulk up to 97 instead of cutting to 86. Of course that assumes he does go 97 ...
 
Question about Final X. Just bought tickets to Rutgers. I didn’t realize there is two sessions. Are my tickets good for both sessions? Or do you have to buy session 1 and session 2? Any help is appreciated.

Dake-74
Dieringer-74(He did go to Okie State after all:))
Cox-86
Bo-97
Zahid-74
Hall-86
Colon-65
Nashon-57
 
I wonder who is going to stick at the non-Olympic weights. I know everyone wants to win the Olympic gold, but some people just don’t have a shot with the current structure. If I’m James Green and see the horses at 74 and how he functioned at 65 last time, I think I just stick at 70 and go for the world medal.

Maybe the same thing would be good for Mark, if he can’t get to 74 and he’s a half step behind Zahid who’s a few steps behind Ringer let alone DT up 15 pounds. I’m sure these guys don’t think that way they have confidence no matter where they are, but someone has to man those spots and if you are a true tweener some will read the writing on the wall.
 
Ok, so you must also think Bo is bumping to 97 next year?
I actually do, yes. Based somewhat on unsourced rumors on FRL, yes, but I think Bo likes growing into weight, as evidenced by his trajectory. If he was thinking 86, I bet he would’ve held 184 last year.

So 97 gonna be Cox,Bo and Snyder next year, or you think theCox will drop.

I think that could be what we see at OTT. Cox could drop, but I know he hated that cut. 6 Olympic weights is a real downer, no matter how you stack our studs, a bunch of medal contenders are going to sit.

I just wish someone would be thoughtful enough to specify the operative time zone for the starting times of noon and 6pm. Is it EDST or CDST?

The session times for both Final X events are 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m., using local time for each.

Lincoln is in CDST... :)

He also said he was going to be the face of MN Wrestling....take it or leave it. He's tiny for where he is wrestling now.
 
David Taylor, quit crying. You got hurt. You missed the team by being beatin by Cox, Dake, JB....come on man, GROW UP! Cry on twitter about not making a world team, kick a challenge ball. Stay healthy and WIN. You don't do it. Serious man. Next year it's gonna be tough as hell to make an Olympic team.

How dare DT post on Twitter about sustaining a knee injury that will keep him off the world team...

I look forward to DT tearfully thanking you after winning Olympic gold for the tough love you've shown him today (I think that's what you meant, I don't speak Sling Blade).

If I had the choice between reading another one of your dumb, idiotic posts or standing in a pit of fire....I’d choose the pit of fire and not even think twice about it
 
Weird but true story: I once went to a Tony Robbins seminar (it was a gift) and walked barefoot on 20’ of flaming hot coals. I was really skeptical of the whole thing until I saw the fires—made me engage in the seminar hardcore right quick.

Sorry, seems this thread needed a nudge off the last rail...
