World Team Trials
Coming up in just a couple of weeks and entries are rolling in. Right now, Carr is the only entry for Cyclone RTC. Man, his performance at the Open looms large. 74kg looks pretty stacked. Both guys who just beat Carr are there. PJ Duke is registered. Evan Wick is dropping down after having... -

Hodge
After looking at these numbers, I can see why Yonger is maybe not in the discussion right now. Messenbrink is a very clear favorite imo, and I just don't see him losing. Second right now is between Mendez and Barr. Forrest would be up there, but doesn't have as many matches. Plus he has no... -

Big 12 predictions
Can’t wait for post season wrestling. Getting some discussions going with my Big 12 predictions. 125 - Stevo second to Spratley. I’m not sure if Strickenburger will still get the 3 or not after his losses the other weekend. Either way, I like the way Stevo is wrestling and think he makes the... -

2025 Wrestle Offs
I thought this deserves its own thread. Schedule below. Lineups haven’t been released yet, but that won’t stop me from speculating. What are some of the matchups you’re interested in? Below are a few of my likely highlights. 125 - this will be our first time seeing Steve-O and also see where... -

2025 World Championships
David’s path just got tougher. 3 time world champ and 2020 olympic champ Sidakov has won the Russian spot. -

2025 Iowa vs ISU
Things are really starting to shape and I had to do this just to break it down for myself and see if ISU has a chance. I’m putting out both teams best lineup. 125 - Poulin Dec Peterson. Stevo won the h2h at NCAA. 3-0 ISU 133 - Ayala Dec Ortega 3-3 141 - Frost Dec Bailey. Repeat of NCAA. 6-3... -

Final X
Final X is this Saturday at 1pm. David Carr vs Messenbrink is the first match on the card. They have a best 2 out of 3 series to make the world team. Lots of people’s opinions on this matchup have shifted since the US Open finals where Messenbrink won by tech. I think David made a few stupid... -

2025 WTT
Seeds are out. Wrestling starts on the 16th. Looks like Carr should have a bye and will likely face Caliendo in the semis. After that would likely have Jacques or Monday in the finals. Should be Carr next topic setting up a 2/3 with Messenbrink at Final X. Coleman has a small but STACKED... -

Other Conference Discussion
Watched the PAC 12s last night. It was really cool that they were on Thursday so they don’t get lost in the shuffle with Big 10 and Big 12. 133 - Romney and Bailey are both tough. Neither did much in their finals match, so not really much to be learned. Bailey is not a guy that I’d want... -

UNI 2/16
Need to get this thread going. Does ISU have a shot? 125 - is Terukina back? I’m going with UNI with a decision win here, but Perryman has been wrestling well. UNI 3-0 133 - Frost has bonuses Farber 4/5 times. Going to need it again. Major for Frost. 4-4 ISU. 141 - Frost has improved with... -

Flowrestling Night in America
Sounds like Flo is putting on a wrestling event on 2/26 at the Coralville Xtream Arena. I haven’t seen many details yet, but the headline of Spencer Lee vs Masanosuke Ono has been announced. This will be an amazing match. Seems like some CRTC guys should try to get on the card as well. Would... -

Non Olympic WTT
Just listened to yesterday’s FRL and they spent some time speculating about David Carr wrestling at the upcoming WTT. The speculation was around Carr dropping to 70 kgs. Carr at 70 seems very unlikely to me. But, I hadn’t even heard that he was planning to wrestling at the WTT. Anyone have... -

Cyclone Fanatic NIL Curse
I think this topic needs to be discussed. Everyone knows about the Madden curse, right? Basically where the cover athlete on the Madden video game has a bad year after being on the cover. Well, it seems there maybe something similar with Cyclone Fanatic’s wrestling NIL deals. Last year it... -

Cyclones 3rd in Attendance
Pretty awesome to only trail Iowa and PSU in attendance rankings. This is without even having Iowa at home. Hope more fans will continue to come out for duals this coming season. Since Dresser got here, they continuously put out a fun and exciting dual team year after year... -

NCAA Predictions
Made my way through the brackets this morning. Below are my picks. ISU Redding - 3-2 losing to Fix in the front and the blood round to Ragusin Swiderski - 3-2 losing to Hart in the front and then in the blood round to Bartlett Paniro - 5th. Loses to Yianni in semis and Yayha in the Consi... -

New CRTC Athlete - Akhmedkhan Tembotov
Looks like the CRTC is bringing in a new wrestler from Russia. He goes by Han and is 20 years old. He’s won a couple of European Championship golds at the cadet level at 80 kg. Sounds like a good guy to bring in the room. Wonder if there is a chance he suits up for folk. Maybe replace Marcus? -

Scuffle Plans
Maybe a little early, but I have a hard time waiting to watch this team compete. Scuffle is our next event and I thought we could get some discussion going. Lots of good teams there. Anyone know if we’re planning on sending the starters, or what ISU’s squad will look like?
