But he did turn others with them both in. Off the top of my head, Darryl Burley. I only said that to point out that it is possible and Gibbons should know that. I guess though it isn't for 99.99% of wrestlers, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're joking right? Cael literally stated why some guys were out. Likely weight related from Thanksgiving. He wouldn't throw a bone to an opposing wrestler even if they were former Penn Staters.

Le duke Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Just watched Mesenbrink’s match. That kid is a terror. PSU kids generally have good motors. But Mesenbrink is going at a rate that most can’t match for a period, let alone the entire match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le duke Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 There is precedent: Nolf, DT, Zain, et. al. In his post match interview for the Ridge Riley award, Starocci called Mesenbrink a “psycho” on the practice mat. He meant it as a compliment. Context: Truax and Mesenbrink as practice partners.Carter has wrestled all of the above many times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess though it isn't for 99.99% of wrestlers, lol. Towards the end of this? Even that he basically had to wait for Burley to come up, it’s not like he really generated it himself. Lewis also wasn’t in that position for very long and for much of the rest of his time on top he was out front/to the side, etc But yes I’ve also seen Fix turn a couple guys (not usually NQ-type guys) from it, but most of the time no.
