[Gantry 1,357]

Cool idea - one period greco, one period free:

He might in o e period but in a 2 out of 3 he would have no shot.

But KB would have 'no shot' in a 5 out of 8 period match. ;_;

Won't there be parterre?  I feel Imar will get tossed in that position.

[tbert 559]

Not fair to Bey.  

Need 2 matches, one at start of event, one at end.

Will never happen, but have always thought it would be cool if Worlds/Olympics did a combined style to determine the most well-rounded wrestler.  Coin flip determines if they start FS or GR.  In case of two pins, the fastest fall is the winner.  Sports like swimming and track allow one guy to win numerous medals by mixing styles and/or distances; wrestling could have this option.

Awesome idea! Need more one-off creative stuff like this...especially when it’s for a good cause.

They’re both 100% going to tech the other in their respective discipline. No way KB survives a full period in freestyle without getting teched...and all KB needs is one takedown to pick up and toss Imar twice to end it. Either that or Imar saves his pride by committing 2 leg fouls and getting DQ’d.

I remember Harry Lester giving JB a good freestyle practice around 2012.

I remember in that year. We went out and partied with him after Greco (in Arkron he is a king with ties to lebron) VIP!!! and he still beat a ton D1 studs hungover and up a weight if I am not mistaken.

2007 was the year he won it. He won greco world bronze in 06 and 07.

 

That university nationals bracket had some hammers. Both Paulson’s, Poeta, Ryan Churella, He beat one Paulson and Poeta during that tournament.

Curious to see how these guys wrestle after an hour of all you can eat and drinking for an hour....

Years ago I had proposed a similar format (like ski model also) to UWW. No response.
A mixture of Freestyle and Greco with a super fight in Pankration could be awesome.
