Why wasn't Nolf on the ballot? He was basically undefeated (and only had one loss in any event, like Gross). He had more pins than Gross and Valencia and the same as Nickal. His bonus (dominance) rate was better than everyone other than Zain. His past credentials are better than Gross and Valencia. And, in terms of quality of competition, he compares favorably with the others, having beaten the #1 seed (which none of the others did), along with Kemmerer and Jordan at NCAAs. In the subjective "heart" category, you have to give him credit for wrestling with an injury. And, if there was a category for creativity, flair and pushing the sport to new heights, he would win that hand's down.
