VakAttack Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 For me, my favorite two wrestlers to watch are Bryce Andonian and Austin Gomez (and yes, I'm including Hawkeyes in my analysis). Keegan O'Toole seems to have taken a slight step back in his dynamism, IMO, or else he would be up there, too. I've also enjoyed Real Woods, Spencer, Swiderski, and Yianni. Kerkvleit and Brooks from PSU has all the tools, but aren't quite putting if all together (from aesthetic perspective; results are great!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm grateful they didn't stop that pinning combo from Gomez, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragit Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I would go with the fellow that has engendered so much discussion on the other threads tonight. There is something unique about watching Lee fire off the opening whistle and go as hard as he can as long as he can. I haven't seen O'Toole since the preseason exhibition. Through that match I'd probably have had him second, I love his balance and crispness. But I have seen a couple of comments like Vak's about him being a little flatter during this season than he was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce, Austin, and Ed Scott is fun to watch too. Go for broke styles all around. Appreciate the artistry from RBY and Brooks, and Spencer's power, but hard to beat throw-or-get-thrown guys for sheer entertainment value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 For me it is Gomez (the local connection doesn't hurt), and Andonian for the throws, and a pair of Lees. Spencer is apppintment viewing and Nick was just so relentless. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headshuck Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We always wondered how Storley would’ve done at 165. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crotalus Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Nothing was more exciting than the Fix v. Suriano matchups. (Watching those matches on repeat is what I assume hell is like) But really any of the top guys at 165 are fun to watch, even in low scoring matchups.
