I have heard of a very good young wrestler named Bam Bam.

Guys, it's Steveson, not Stevenson.  There's no N.  That's S.T.E.V.E._BLANK_.SON.  Steve Son.  

Maybe he should buy a consonant.

Are you sure it's Steve Son and not Steve's Son? I'd be willing to debate this.

My point was spelling, not pronunciation.  If I had to guess, it's closer to Steve-eh-Son than Steve's Son.

People get this one confused too. Let's just go with Dan.

I love the fact that there is actually a long thread about HWT!

There have always been smaller and more athletic heavies.  That is not new.  

There will always be larger heavies.  They aren't going away.  

The best heavies will always be really large guys who move like slightly smaller guys.  

This.  I would put White and Steveson into that third group.  They've both gotta be at least 250 right?

Exactly - We should be able to spell his name, he has been dominate all year.

Since we're talking about HWY, I think it should be customary to announce the athlete's weight for the match. All other weights you know what the athlete's weight is, but not with 285. I think it's good information to know if there is significant weight disparity.

While I'm creating a wish list I think televised scoring needs to always display riding time. This too is hit or miss with each broadcast.

I like something I've seen recently, I think it was with Midlands where they show a scroll across the bottom in green and red the sequence of scoring the TD, Esc, Rev, NF, etc.

I agree with this. How many 285s are actually even close to being that heavy?

This is not true. You know the weight class for all wrestlers not their actual weights.

Making Steveson Goku, turning him into the good guy.  Bold move there, I like it...

He is the hero we need but not the one we deserve or something like that

If Stoll sits and Steveson wins out. I could see the Big 10 making a statement and awarding Gable the #1 seed.

Would that really be “making a statement”?  Seems like it would be common sense if Gable remains undefeated.

A common sense seeding IS a statement!!
