bnwtwg 422 Report post Posted November 28, 2020 I really hope we get to see Parris go up against Gwiz and Steveson (although I think Coon gets the matchup nod vs. Gwiz and Nelson for GWC). I’m curious to see how Parris’ progression is coming along. I wouldn’t be surprised by anything from a mauling to pulling off an upset, but I think at this point he is taking the leap and am excited to find out. 1 nhs67 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yianni vs Echemendia would probably be a real fun match. Looking at the HWT rosters, of course would love to see Gable vs Parris, or will they throw in Coon, Nelson, or Hemida?

Housebuye 2,072 Report post Posted November 28, 2020 Man it is so competitive. I’m surprised Spartan couldn’t find a better 97Kg. Boykin is going to get thrashed by everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nhs67 897 Report post Posted November 29, 2020 Obviously I'm being a troll. I prefer Coon-Steveson, as I do believe the dual will be locked up by then. I want Parris-Gwiz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not doubting you. You're probably on the inside way more than me. But Gable did say he only wants one match and he doesn't want to wrestle no one else. https://www.flowrestling.org/video/6829604-gable-steveson-is-coming-to-the-2020-rtc-cup-for-one-match-and-one-match-only Gable looked fantastic when he beat Parris in folkstyle. Really want to see the 2 young studs go at it in freestyle and see where they are on the freestyle ladder. And all due respect to Nelson and Coon but I want to see both Gable and Parris wrestle Gwiz as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnklePicker 521 Report post Posted November 29, 2020 Lame that he only plans to wrestle Gwiz. Maybe doesn’t want to risk injury? I got Steveson winning this match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nom 796 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 I just read the preview on Flo. This thing looks incredible. I’m nervous some A players dip from match to match. But if even 2/3 of the big matches happen, this is going to be spectacular. Am going to take time off from work to watch this live starting Friday afternoon. Again - kudos to all for making this happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's how I took his comment about "Gwiz is the only match I want". I don't think GS wants to duck anyone but the Gopher RTC does have another very good heavyweight besides Gable. I think that was Gable's way of calling dibs on the Gwiz match and I don't think he would have a problem wrestling anyone else in the field. 2 nhs67 and 2td3nf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I figure the athletes and their coaches will decide who wrestles who. But c'mon Gwiz, Coon and Nelson (and Gable) have already wrestled each other several times. Let's see Gable vs Gwiz, Mason vs Gwiz and Gable vs Mason. Let Coon and Nelson have the other matches. Just one fan's opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iirc, Gable and Coon faced each other at 2018 and 2019 WTT’s? Adam beat him in 2018 and then Gable returned the favor in 2019. In 2018, Adam went on to win a Greco world silver. Crazy! I’m going to beat this horse one more time. I just feel like this is a golden opportunity to see Gable and Mason go at it in freestyle. If not, we’ll have to wait months most likely, if ever.

nhs67 897 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 If this is coin flip to see who sends first at each weight, then I absolutely believe Michigan wants Minnesota to send out first at 125. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhs67 897 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 Every other weight seems straightforward. 57-CK favored with either 65-CK favored with either 74-Massa slight favorite-Wick huge favorite over Amine 86-Amine decent favorite, Bounaderlost to Pfarr 2 years ago, I imagine even now at worst I see Michigan putting their best they can out here so they can be up 4-0 and have options against Wolfpack. 97-Zillmer slight favorite. 125-Crapshoot. If is 3-2 they will send Gable and then we'll see either Coon or Parris. Gable wins either, who loses less badly? If CK us up 4-1 send Hemida. Don't chance an injury in your bigs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
