Quentin Wright Was Just About As Productive As Zain

I have always wondered if the fact the two had been friends for 15 or more years took some of Quentin's edge off.
Whenever I think of all the PSU wrestlers who have won titles since Cael took over Q never immediately jumps to mind despite the fact that he was an insanely dominant and legendary NCAA wrestler. He was very nearly a 3xer and finishing 6-1-2-1 is incredible. I think he may be the most underrated PSU wrester since at least Cael took over.
Never had a bobblehead night, that I can remember. That's very underrated.
"Some reason"=Bosaks right hand was planted squarely on Wright's throat for approximately 5 minutes and 45 seconds of the match.
Which time? Q majored Bosak in the Scuffle finals that season. In the NCAA finals Bosak stalled the entire match and naturally the ref never called him for stalling,
More likely Bosak (with Rob Koll's help) came up with a plan to beat a wrestler he was familiar with. Steve kept it close and it came down to one TD in sudden victory, It could have gone either way.
Seriously. Koll has a history of game planning, especially on re-matches, but Q took it easy on a guy he's known since childhood, smh.
A whole lotta neutral grabbing and hands on Qs neck. It was basically the St John plan against Dake but it worked better.
World of difference between took it easy and lost a smidgen of his edge. But feel free to shake your freaking head.
Over the years I have generally liked your board persona, but lately your level of pompous pain in the ass has become somewhat irritating. SMFH

Q was awesome. Q is underrated. But there’s no real comparison here.

Phrase it however you want, you accused Q of not giving Bosak his best because of their past relationship.
Dude, everybody on here knows you have a sharp mind, very analytical and capable of plowing through oddles of data and arriving at very logical conclusions. The subtleties of psychology are obviously beyond the reach of that pompous mind of your's.
Bosak slowed the match down and limited the amount of engagement, but for it to be successful Q needed to allow it to occur by not forcing the pace.
I made a statement about something I have wondered about, if for some reason that causes you anguish - oh phucking well.
Q is one of my all time favorite PSU wrestlers he is all class
Maybe could've equally said RBY (8-x-1-1-2) just about as productive as Zain and Quentin. Just substitute Covid Year for RS year. Then again RBY and Zain both have their bobbleheads.
But other than 4xAA, 3x finalist, at least 2x champ, they were each totally different kinds of wrestlers.

"What happens when a weight clears out" for 100, Ken.
Kilgore was a fan favorite because he came from a mid major program. Nothing wrong with giving him a big spot light. Also, it is tougher to be a champ from a smaller school with less coaches, work out partners, etc . etc.
For one thing, they weighed a lot more!
shots fired at Brandon Sorensen
Logan Steiber? Turk just being turk not knowing what he is talking about.
i'm not trying to say Q was as good or even had as good 'career' as Zain.
i'm just saying
6-1-2-1
isn't far off from
5-1-1-1
just trying to give the guy some love.
plus a lot of his struggles that one season was b/c he had other stuff outside of wrestling going on.
Yeah, Lugo and Pantaleo and Tsirtsis and Jordan were stiffs. Especially Lugo.
i scoffed when zain made the finals of the world championships the last two years.
i mean, pfft. how weak is this planet?

The only reason Zain made the Olympic team was that the bloody rag on his forehead made him look like
See how you just twisted what was said? Classic Willie.
I never said anything about recent results at the world Championships. I was talking about Zain and Q in college. That is what your topic was about, right?
You should leave this site in protest. I'll defend you to the best of my abilities.
Yeah - guilty as charged. The guys sitting below the raised stage just to the right of Cael. Laughing, play hitting each other and shaking their heads after that last one.

What am I making excuses for? Nothing. I just think Q had tougher competition overall in college. That's it.
I agree willy the end results may not have been the same but there isn't much difference in degree of talent between those two.
