Ahawkeye Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Indiana has represented well hope we can bring home a championship! Another wrestler that piques my interest is A.J. Ferrari from Okie St. I'm not saying I'm a fan and I'm not saying I don't like the guy but he's definitely turning heads! He is a true freshman in the finals at 197 and runs his mouth like he can beat the world! I guess you have to have that attitude that you can beat the world to wrestle competitively in college but to run your mouth while doing it can be very dangerous for freshman I would assume! Especially if Steveson ever gets a hold of him, Ferrari made some comments to Jordan Burroughs and Steveson that were politically charged. Burroughs did not respond but there was a bit of back and forth with Steveson. Steveson made it clear that Ferrari should stay away from HWT and that Steveson would end his career. Of all the people to pi$$ off Steveson would be way down on my list, should be interesting should these two be in the same area while warming up or something.

In ferraris defense gables a hypocrite, he runs his mouth and acts just more immature then AJ all the time then wanted to start stuff with Ferrari... AJ right now is way to small and young to match up with gable but don't forget the last time Gable had trouble was when a Italian kid grew into HW and took it to him.. Gable is the last person to try to claim some moral high ground, he beats a unranked guy and goes all WWE, but heaven forbid a true freshman does well... Everybody wanted to pile on AJ saying he's never done nothing in the sport yada yada yada,l before the session, but technically ferrari did more than Gable as a freshman as of now.

Ahawkeye Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I am not as informed on such things as you are but I do find Ferrari very interesting. I can't wait to see what happens in his finals match. Running his mouth ir not, a true froshmen in the finals at 197 is quite a feat. FCFIGHTER170 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime his dad posts videos of him lifting or anything these grown men of all ages start bashing him and trying to act like they're special, for instance in a video he's squatting nearly 700 pounds and there's all these pseudo power lifting coaches bashing him left and right, I told them all off honestly, nothing gets to me worse than seeing ppl trash a kid for being confident when in turn they're being a million times worse with the crap they're saying, but"they can't stand his cocky ways" while at the same time they are wishing ill will on him... Him and his 2 brothers are the only ever trinity award winners all in the same year with all 3 winning it.. Both his younger brothers are both studs, one giving our own Mendez epic matches with Mendez winning close matches over Anthony ferrari..I actually like the Ferrari family, regardless of how ppl perceive them and their father has reached out to me thanking me for having his sons back..I don't play that bash on kids crap and will go to bat every time regardless if they're my guy or not.. Their will be another ferrari in OK ST next year as well Anthony...Aj will beat Bonnocorsi tonight and become a national champ! Ahawkeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navy80 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I am really impressed by Nick Lee's offense. The kid is always looking to score. It will be interesting to see his gameplay against Eierman since Eierman is a defensive wrestler. I am really impressed with Chad Red's ability to face adversity and grind out wins. What a performance in the wrestle backs. Red and Lee have represented Indiana well. It's amazing they've both AA'd at 141 three times, wrestle in the same conference but have only wrestled twice in college. I am a fan of AJ Ferrari.. Not only does he have a cool name but the kid is confidence, puts in the work, and has a bright future. I can see him being the next Brock Lesnar in regards to fame (WWE, UFC). He should win tonight. The quiet career of Drew Hildebrandt is impressive. I believe he would have made the finals with the any draw on the bottom of the bracket. I look for him to take third. The Brayton Lee and Deakin match will be fun. Deakin was supposed to be a lock for a title this year but was pinned in the semi's. He's got to be emotional coming into today. Will he come out and destroy B Lee or will he be in the right mindset coming off the upset? FCFIGHTER170 and Ahawkeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navy80 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 And Mason Parris.. I'd love for Mason to get the W over Gable. At least make it a close match. HAs there ever been two dominant heavyweights in college like Mason and Gable? They smoke everyone... Ahawkeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but when you’ve seen someone work at a craft since elementary and have had several good conversations with his dad over the years you have a little more vested interest in the outcome.

1prouddad Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Mason is a solid wrestler. But Gable is just a different level. Dominated the match. Controlled the center of the mat and when on the attack, finished the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
