Final X
- Thread starter Str8DBLz
- Start date
It is like watching two of my sons wrestling, might not be able to watch and can’t root for either of them against the other.
A spot on the national team, access to OTC training camps, some money. 2nd alternate—a chance to be be a training partner at worlds.
Bragging rights,
NVM Carter will brag bout it even if he loses.

Wonder why there are 9 bouts scheduled for NYC and only 2 in Stillwater? Would have thought they'd put the True 3rd in the same location as the Finals for the weight.
Rooting for Cenzo. Big fan of Cstar but he’s either an excellent troll on social media or he needs a little humbling. A couple bombs from Cenzo would be nice either way
While I also would prefer Starocci back off the trash talk a bit, that is part of why he's so damn tough to beat. Say what you want about that approach, but his resolve never wavers. He's arrogant and cocky, but I'm sure glad he's on our side. Frankly, I wish I had 10% of his self-confidence.
The bad thing is, Dake isnt losing years of experience even though he’s getting younger. He and Nolf should be about the same age by now. 🤔
Looks like “fun” but the facial expression suggests something else!
I love Cenzo but I think CStar is going to win. I don’t see him getting into ties where Cenzo excels and I think Carter gets a couple takedowns. I really wish we were getting to see Carter vs JB. JB wins but with Carters defense and athleticism I can see him giving Jordan a run. At the same time I’m really happy for Chance. I love a good redemption story
not talking trash if you can back it up and he does a good job at backing it up!
Actually it IS still trash-talk, backing it up doesnt change that.
This isnt a Kid Rock song.
Has there been a wrestler that raises his game better in big matches than Cenzo?
He’s also won 2 national championships in his first 2 years winning against some top end quality. I don’t see him as cocky. Just extremely confident.
Jason Nolf was (is) CONFIDENT too. Theres no need to run your mouth on twitter, that’s where it becomes COCKY. Dont get me wrong, love the kid and all, just wish he’d tone it down, everyone knows (like you alluded too in your first sentence) how good he is.
Full disclosure, I dont even HAVE twitter, only get to see what folks post here.
It’s a new age with NIL and branding. You may not like his Twitter activity, but it attracts attention and that is where bigger paychecks come from. If his “trash talk” keeps him in wrestling for a couple of Olympic cycles, rather than jumping into MMA right away, I hope he keeps tweeting.
Stand with Pride said it and I concur.
IMHO, confidence is believing in yourself and that you are the best. You become cocky and/or arrogant when you start publicly expressing your confidence. If you are truly that great, then your work will do the talking for you. Stay humble young man.

I don't much care for his public posturing either--but it's perfectly within his rights, and may simply be a part of the brand he envisions for himself--and I'm still (and likely always) a CStar fan.
Lazy thread reading by me. You got me. I'll adjust my statement.
Wish it wasn’t true, but it does seem this way. Humbleness is highly admirable, but boring to the average human. Provocativeness generates buzz.
Did I say that??? Sheesh I need a proofreader of my own🤣😂So you’re saying his balls are public?
You sure bro? Isnt FX AFTER June 3-5’s U23 WTT’s ??
Be a shitty deal to tell the U23 WTT champ he aint the rep anymore.
I think Bo had a wrestle-off with U23 trials winner Jake Woodley (was it at Fargo?) the year he lost to Cox in Final X. Went on to win the whole shebang, of course.
Didn’t know this courtesy extended to 3rd place too, but if so, I’d expect something similar.
Ok, so they prolly wouldnt just HAND it to CStar, would havta beat they winner of U23 WTT….
And who knows, why wouldnt CStar just show up in Geneva and remove all doubt??
