Alright. So I was entertaining in-laws and then corralling our 2 year old for bedtime, so I wasn’t able to sit down and watch uninterrupted until 184, so my thoughts are a little sparse until then.
125: Man. Troy can take all the time he needs to get that shoulder right if that’s the caliber of wrestler we have in Rock. I suppose there’s a world where VRob is the latest guy to regress after transferring, but I doubt it.
133: Jax. Nothing else to say.
141: Loved coming back from trying to get a 2 year old to brush her teeth to see Raney chasing another TD as time expired.
149: Toddler wanted to “help” feed the newborn, and we were in intense negotiations so I missed all of this.
157: No sign of a sophomore slump for Robideau. He’s such a tough son of a gun.
165 and 174: Fighting to get the child down. She stalls so well you’d think she’d watched Antrell Taylor tonight. Only question I have is does anyone think Ryder is back this season, and if so would he be able to make 174?
184: What a wild ride the Mikey White experience is going to be this season. He’s so insanely talented and you can tell he’s intelligent on the mat. Getting out on bottom needs to get better. He’s absolutely going to have some insane head scratching moments this season due to his inexperience in wrestling, but what a crazy ceiling that young man has.
197: Great match against a great opponent from Panda. Took care of business in OT.
HWT: Like my previous comment, I think Ross could have had 2-3 takedowns in that match if he just pulls the trigger a few times. He was mad as hell losing that way, and I think a rematch goes Ross’ way by a lot. I also don’t want to take anything away from Ziola. Extremely talented kid and I think having a year in college under his belt helped him a lot tonight.
Overall great performance. I figured the Pokes would win, but I didn’t expect them to win in so dominant a fashion. Seems like it’s
