Minto has incredible defense. Levi is one of the best finishers I’ve ever seen and he couldn’t finish cleanly
Manning has a lot of class. All of it low.

Rocco needs to keep going to his underhook. He’s controlling Max well from there
Rocco’s hips are crazy. Max hit them and just stopped dead

You’re not going to convince me that a guy who has never taken Blaze down is a bad matchup for him. And 1 “Hail Mary” takedown for Marcus > zero takedowns of any kind for Davino.
That should be a takedown but hasn’t been all year.
I won't be upset at Minnesota thinking that's a takedown
Woof. I don't know if that was a TD or not. That's a great match though.
Man I love me some max mcenelly. Dude is GOOD.
Whew. That’s going to elicit a lot of complaining outside of PSU.
Wow. Rocco got lucky there. Geez.
Smart match by Welsh. McEnelly is a good wrestler.
IMHO, the call of no TD at the end of the first TB was correct.

All he does is win!! Ice water in his veins
I was hoping for a comfortable 3-1 blowout win by Rocco, but I’ll take that!
