[Str8DBLz]

Nolf did. Bump up

Nolf did. Bump up

wow. that surprise me. who won the us open at 74? JB sits in Final X

IMAR is sitting in the trials finals. I will be rooting for Hidlay at 70kg now with Nolf up.

 

[psumacw]

are these confirmed going, or just eligible to go?

 

[eddy line]

Me too. Seems a much harder road through IMAR and JB than Green and Deakin.

 

[dmm53]

That is surprising about Nolf. Might now be thinking Olympics next year.

[tomsc]

Is Brooks wrestling in senior WTT's? He wrestled in the junior division at the US Open.

 

[Str8DBLz]

Eligible

[Str8DBLz]

Nolf was worried about weight from what I hear..

 

[Str8DBLz]

70kg =154lbs
74kg=163lbs

Jason is married now

[PatMineo22]

Nolf had a much better shot to make team at 70kg... He most likely can just not make the weight. It’s a 9 lb difference to 74kg. And “prepping for Olympics” wouldn’t make sense. He had a shot to make team this year, now his buck stops at final x IF he can beat IMAR at WTT, which is no easy task.

 

[diggerpup]

Curious to the seeding at 65kg.

Does Zain earn the 1 seed?

Or does Oliver earn the 1 - who lost + defaulted at USOpen ?

It’s important because I think Frank the Tank awaits at 3. Wrestling Frank is always a war.

Not sure, but has AngryFish been around since JO got embarrassed in Vegas? I kinda felt bad for the aging Doper on one of his last few chances to do something

I think AngryFish got caught + eaten by the bears in the other thread.

[nerfstate]

Cassar confirmed at 97? Somewhat of a surprise.

 

[LemonPie]

hoping to see Seth Nevills and Michael Beard at Juniors. Im pretty sure Beard is qualified from his 2018 results, but not certain.

 

[a_mshaffer]

Yea, I'm going down with my son and staying with my daughter (not a lot of time to visit!)... Can't wait to see a ton of these matches.. starting Friday morning!

Where are you seeing registration for WTT. I don't see anyone yet listed on FLO's Arena link. Somewhere else?

I didn't see anything other than what @Str8DBLz posted above. Sorry--I was just questioning whether Cassar was registered and at 97Kg.

 

[Str8DBLz]

I think they penalize JO for dropping out.

Doesn't he go to the back of the pack some he switched weights?

These are the guys who are eligible

[dmm53]

I haven't heard anything about Cassar going to WTT. Hope he shows but no one who stays in the know has indicated he is going.

Agreed. I’m guessing we don’t see him, but if we do, it’ll be at 125.

 

[RD41]

I am really, really pulling for Nolf to make the finals v. IMar. I really want to see that match up again. If Nolf wins the spot he will definitely have earned it.

 

[tikk10]

Perhaps Nolf felt those three extra pounds under 157 were too much, or perhaps he's positioning himself for the olympics, so might as well see where he measures against those guys. I'm excited that he's going up, though, we get to see him against a number of guys we've never seen him against. I think beating Burroughs is a big ask but I'd not be surprised to see him beat IMar, or anyone else at the trials at 74kg.

IMAR has been wrestling very well at 74kg... that will be a match!! I think Nolf is looking to cement himself as a 74kg (due to olympic weight) and has visions of replacing JB

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Nolf is going to be undersized making this move so late. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he can already beat Imar. Suspect he will be a challenged by some of the other guys in the bracket as well. Think he needs a year to grow into the weight and train freestyle exclusively before we will see what Jason can really do.

Lots of intriguing matchups and new blood for Nolf. Really looking forward to how this bracket shakes out. Jason definitely adds a lot of intrigue.

I agree he's an underdog. A win would certainly not shock, but would be a surprise. Rematching IMAR and potentially meeting JB is a dream scenario for us wrestling nerds. Hoping it happens!

 

[psu_flip]

Casey helped Franklin Gomez get close to taking JB out at Pan Ams. He also helped Cenzo solve the puzzle against Imar twice. Nolf certainly has the coaching and the partners to beat these guys.

 

[nittinsc]

Anyone from this board planning on being there, or will everyone be in Iceland?

 

[diggerpup]

Will they release seeds at a reasonable time ??

Or wait until the National Anthem to release seeds ?

 

[RD41]

Finals are best of 3? Very brief review on Flo did not reveal the answer.

Disregard. Found the answer.

 

[Str8DBLz]

@smalls103 can you answer this?

[NoVa Lion]

Nolf did. Bump up

Still haven;t seen anything that says Nolf is going up. Just speculation.

His Sponsor seems to think so.
