mspart Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The Lee Megaludis match was pretty good. Both were after it. It just appeared to me that Lee was in control almost the entire match. That said, Megaludis is really good and I expect if he makes it to OTTs he will be a force. I'm sure he learned from this match as well as Lee. Lee allowed his back to be exposed more than I would have expected. There is a question whether he initiated some of this but I think he needs to work on that. The leg lace defense of Megaludis was great. I haven't seen anyone get torqued on like that since Joe Williams defended a leg lace and must have broken some of his bones. I can't remember who had it on him but he would not go over. I saw it in person so it must have been at US Nationals in Vegas one of those long years ago. I only have seen one WTT and Zero OTTs in person. So it wasn't one of those. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never in danger of losing and didn't have to push himself more than he needed to in order to win, which might explain the lackluster defense against Mega's leg attacks. That ankle pick was pretty sweet, though. Certainly red-faced and much slower. I would suggest that if he wasn't gassed the line was inching towards or on "E." You still got a couple miles, but you better hurry up and refuel. I say this because when Spencer gets tired, he makes mistakes and is more prone to ending up on his back. That happened in this match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanGuy Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 It is pretty amazing that Nico is still at or near world class being only a part time wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs67 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Looks like he might get another shot. Both are registered for Senior Nationals. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Maybe they'll even be on opposites sides of the bracket. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerlock3 Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 I'd say that if there was a third period lee would have lost, but thats just not the rules. I think Lee hasn't had time to get in shape yet. The guy we get at the olympic team trails will be different. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
