2025-26 Lineup
- Thread starter CycloneFan97
- Start date
No doubt. Do you think AJ will be better at heavy weight than 197 based on his style?
I think he’ll be similarly good at either weight. Don’t think that heavy this year is as talented as 97 last year. I’d be pretty surprised if anyone besides Yonger can beat him.
This heavyweight class is very undersized. Most of these guys weigh around 225-245 it looks like. Not many of the top guys will be over 250. Yonger has what it takes to beat AJ, but so does Trumble I think. Ghadiali
Is a wildcard now training up in Michigan with parris
I'd say Kueter and Mirasola are wildcards. Depending on what kind of development they've had they could be problems. But, usually HWT isn't a younger kids weight, upperclassmen are usually the class of the weight, with some exceptions.
I’d have to watch the match again but wasn’t it mostly push outs? Dreshaun is also only a junior in high school and hasn’t been in a good RTC yet, he’s still practicing with high school kids. Sky is the limit for that kid if he can get a little bigger.
Choose to believe. Time for everyone to post a most to least likely to AA. I’ll start, they all effin AA.
Keuter recovering from injury most of this summer would set his development back just a little, I’d think?
Mirasola seems like he needs to get a bit bigger/stronger (maybe he has). Similar to Keuter in that regard.
First, I’ll agree with this assessment, give me all 10.
Then I’ll give it a shot (my opinion on most likely to least likely).
285 (our most likely finalist in my eyes)
197 (4x AA)
Tie 125 through 157 (all past AA’s)
Tie 165 through 184 (all yet to AA)
GIDDY UP
Who would you say is the closest? Given the uncertainty of some of our top contenders.. until we see them wrestle this year for the first time, it would have to be Stevo right? He’s looking really good and healthy right now. Who is your favorite to AA at this point
If everyone is healthy, a 4x AA is as close to a surefire AA as you can get!
That first part is important for anyone though.
Ech is a pretty sure fire AA at 141 if what people say is true that he lost a little mass and the cut will be easier now
I’d go Yonger. I just think he’s the best guy, and there are only a couple guys that can beat him at heavyweight. But, also seen him get in his own head and blow it before.
Ech has a super tough weight and coming off an injury.
I would say Yonger definitely is. I also think Jacob Frost is going to be a hammer at 149. KD said in a interview that’s he’s been whopping everyone in the room.
