WNO serious questions

[BrockBronson]

It looked like a great event but I just heard some confusing stuff. Why do a 30 hour before weighin and then give a 3-4lb weight allo? If the point is for rights to the number one spot, you would thing the kids would have to make weight. I heard the Stewart kid was 5plus pounds over. They Wrestled the match because the PA kid didn’t want a forfeit. Then lost and nothing was mentioned about him not making weight. I heard some of the wrestlers were cutting so hard to make weights with allowances. That’s hard to then rank them at a weight they may never wrestle again.

Why not do the top four for every weight. Welsh was an example. Same with Arrington. If Shapiro didn’t get hurt he would of never made the event. WNO should be every HS weight, top 4. Why did Basset not wrestle Knox?

PA was well represented and definitely showed the world why we are still the best wrestling state.

Bassett isn’t in HS he could run off wins all night and he still wouldn’t be #1.

it's an exhibition. they also used college rules.

Thought it was cool that after Mendez lost to Swiderski he chose to seek a rematch at the Grappler Fall Classic a solid pre-season in Michigan. Mendez is reportedly missing his own ring ceremony (State Title, I assume) and a HS Dance for another shot.

I like the mentality of wanted to jump right back in and take another shot quickly.

Willie wrote a great article on this very subject. He did as well a job as he could at getting guys to wrestle in the weight they would be during the season (which is same day weighins).

Flo didn't. They did a great job of making some great exhibition matches.

Swiderski pulled out of GFC . Still a chance they meet at the Brecksville tournament during the season

no, we did everything we could to make matches between 2 guys who would be at the same weight all year and have it be an actual match for the #1 ranking. no year is perfect though. every year there are exceptions from 2013 to now.

no reason to make it a competition about who did better at matchmaking imo. I watched Willie bust his ass for several years to make the best matchups possible and I watched Nomad and now Bray do the same the last two years. tremendous and commendable efforts by all. The ethos for the event laid out by Willie is being followed as faithfully as possible.
