Five in Final X

[nerfstate]

Sadly, they can’t all win like in this clip. But it’s a good trend isn’t it? Very stoked to watch—except for 86kg, anyway. My heart is already racing a bit on that one.

Has anyone seen the order of matches?

Im guessing they are mixing MFS/GR and WFS all together to give everyone time between matches.

Three mat setup, so I'm presuming all 3 formats going at same time in weight class order.

What about 2:00 and 6:00? How’s that working? Is it two matches 1st session and 3rd match in second session if necessary?

12:30 ET True third place......2:00 ET Round 1......6:00 ET Round 2 (and Round 3, as necessary)

Luckily the Ironbound is close by. I'm guessing they will be done with round 1 by 3:30.

I saw they’ve added a few high school matches between the sessions.

Four matches isn't going to kill a lot of time. I'll be headed to the Ironbound. I'll say this, Newark is a lot nicer now than when I worked at Gateway II back in 1979-80. But even then, we walked over to the Ironbound regularly.

 

[TheButcher2]

Wonder just how bad Flo will screw up the streaming.

 

[matter7172]

Anyone able to find a list of the true third matches? Trying to figure out if it's worthwhile to change our plans.

My picks most sure to least sure.
Gable
Gillman
Retherford
Taylor
Vito
Snyder
Valencia
Burroughs
Yanni
Dake

Hope I'm wrong on last 2

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

It’s also apparently Portuguese Fest in the area this weekend. So, if anyone likes churrasco there’ll probably be some damn good food trucks/stands in the area.

 

[Agoodnap]

Well that settles it. Churrasco is is fantastic but Portuguese women are...well lets just say they have a zest for life!

You are least sure of Snyder over Cox? Do you see J’Den winning a match? After their last match I just have a hard time seeing how J’Den beats Kyle. I’m sure the matches will be fairly close but I’ll be shocked if Kyle loses twice

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Boy it sure would be sweet if Zain can come home with some bling. Sitting in OTT finals is huge when everything is done in one day.

1) It’s a lot of just being more sure about the others. 2) Match 1 was closed and required a late score from Snyder to win on criteria. I don’t doubt that Snyder/the coaches may have picked up on something, but I think that may be more of a representative marker. J’den has also spent more time at 97kg since.

He wouldn’t sit in the finals. Because he’s changing weights he’d go to I *believe* the semifinals at 65 according to the 2021 criteria.

 

[nerfstate]

Geez guys, get your act togethe!

• Zain, Nolf, Lee
• Gilman, Snyder
• Gable
• Vito
• Burroughs
• Zahid
• DT (in 3 20-20ish criteria matches)

I dated a girl who was half Portuguese half Filipina... if there is a better pedigree I have not found it.

Anyone who has ever been to Brazil knows that the Portuguese speaking women there are among the world’s finest.

Shit, forgot he went too 70 lol. That complicates things 😖

Dake/Nolf......I'm having deja vu all over again. I've been thrice smitten....I know better....2 weeks ago I had Dake until proven otherwise....but as match day gets closer and the juices start flowing, I find myself getting psyched for a Nolf victory. What the he$$ is wrong with me?!

Yessssssss! It's literally a 5 minute walk from the Pru Center to the Ironbound. Between sessions activity all settled!

Well….just substitute Nick Lee for Zain then.

Next year, Nick sits in the finals and Zain in the semis. 😊

Nolf has been my favorite PSU wrestler for awhile now and I feel the same way. My head tells me that Dake is just too good especially defensively but my heart always tells me to pick Nolf. Nolf has clearly jumped levels and has tightened up his game so much but against Dake you can’t make a single mistake. I think Jason continues to close the gap and wins a match but loses the series. Whoever ends up winning brings home world gold later this summer though. I think Nolf getting so much better in free has made Dake continue to improve as well hence his move to State College. There are a ton of super interesting matchups at Final X and this 1 is in my top 3 along with Snyder/Cox and Adeline/Blades.

Does anyone know if those shit heads at Flo still let you watch wrestling if you sign up for another sport? I don't want to pay for a month of Flo Cheerleading and then not get to see Final X. I am assuming those assholes still make you sign up for a whole year for the wrestling.

How good does this team look? Probably only way it could be stronger is if J’Den stayed at 92kg for this worlds. No Russia at worlds still I believe so it should come down to the US and Iran. Should be a battle with both countries having some true superstars. Possible matches are Zare vs Gable, DT vs Yazdani part 6, Zahid vs Ghasempour, Amouzad vs Yianni or Lee, Savadkouhi or Nokhodi vs JB, Baby Yaz vs Zain, Emami vs Dake or Nolf, Mohammadian vs Snyder, and Atri vs Vito. I think the only weight without an Iranian ranked in the international top 20 is 57kg while the US has a wrestler ranked at every weight.

I believe you can watch any FLO sport with an account. I know I watch FLO grappling with no issues and I’m pretty sure there is a thread talking about the cheapest or best way to signup and through which sport to do so

 

[nerfstate]

I believe this is also likely true for DT...

I’d be prepared for a shoe drop if Chance takes him out.

Agree on DT also, only thing is DT will be going out on top.
