Real bummed about Blaze getting caught against Seth Gross yday. Jax Forrest just smacked Gross to go to Final X, but a Jax/Blaze final would have been AWESOME

 

[cb1994]

Mesenbrink techs David Carr 16-6 WOW! he's on to Final X too.

We'll definitely see Brooks at 92, maybe we'll see Carter at 86?

Wonder if we'll see Barr go Senior or stay at u23, same with Zack Ryder.

Shaping up to be a good one!

I didn’t see the match but I’m seeing elsewhere that Zahid stalled for the last several minutes. Even HR is up in arms that Valencia did nothing for the last two minutes. Can anyone confirm?
