FCFIGHTER170 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Regardless of era, what are some matchups that you would like to have seen that might not have happened due to injury or due wrestlers being from different time periods etc. I'll get the topic going with a good mess of match ups.. 1995 heavyweight state champ James Bubba Dickerson VS 2004 HW state champ Chad Ruggeri, during both of their title runs not a single opponent made the final whistle with both spending hardly 10 minutes combined on the mat at state.. Both Big men moved unlike most Heavies, these 2 could move. 2003 runner up /3x medalist@125 Matt Jaggers vs runner up and four-time medalist Craig Macke, the match we never got to see from that era. Three time state champ at 220 Mason Paris VS super 32 and Reigning 220 state champ Christian Carrol with both being Elite big men ranked we the top nationally. 2x 189 pound state champ Nathan Moore vs 2x 195 pound state champ Silas Allred Heavys Pretty Ricky Clark versus Robert Samuels everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. 2x 140 State runner-up Charlie pingleton vs 2x state champ Neal Malloy 3x state champ Steven Bradley VS 3x state champ Asa Garcia would be disgusting. 2x 195 state Champ Mitch Sliga vs 189 state champ, 2nd and 3rd placer Heath VanDeventer 2x state champ and runner Up 132-145 Cody LeCount vs 2x state champ 140 Steven Sandefer 2x state champ 135 Erik Kerkhoff vs 135/140 state champ & 2x 3rd placer Nick Walpole 4x State champ 132 Chad Red Jr vs 3x state champ/runner up 132 Zeke Seltzer 2x Runner up/3rd placer Brenden Campbell@ 120 vs 119 State champ/ 4x top 4 placer Brenden Nelson 132 state champ and 3x 3rd placer Breyden Bailey vs 2x State champ Jarred McKinley@132 3x state champ Reece Humphrey 130 VS 125/135 2x state champ 4x placer Andre Hernandez 2x state champ 2 runner up 119/125 Brandon Wright vs 3x state champ 112-125 Kyle Ayersman 4x state champ 145 Alex Tsirtsis vs 3x State champ 145/152 Brayton Lee 3x State champ/runner up Andrew Howe @160 vs 3x State champ 4x placer Sean Murray 4X state champ @119 Lance Ellis vs 3x State Champ @119 Pat Cassidy 2x Shawn Streck HW state champ vs 2x HW state champ Chico Adams 2x State champ 189 Brad Stephens vs 2x state champ 171/189 Ian Hinton 2x state champ@171 Josh Hardy vs 2x 171 state champ Marcus Schontube 3x state champ 215 Jake O'BRIEN vs 2x state champ 220 Gelen Robinson 2x state Champ /4x top 3 placer 152 , Tommy Forte vs 2x state champ /2x runner up Matt Coughlin 2x state champ 103/112 Cody Phillips vs 2x state champ 103/112 Adam Doherty 4x state Champ 130/171 Blake Mauer vs 3x state champ/runner up 155/177 David Palmer 3x state Champ 152/160 Case Hooper vs 2x state champ 160 Paul Young 2x state Champ 140/151 James Leavell vs 2x state champ/runner up 145/152 Bryan Bailey 2x state champ 160/171 Cooper samuals vs 2x state champ Keith Davison 2x state champ Danny Williams 135/140 VS 2x state champ 135/142 Thad Oldham 4x state Champ 132 Chad Red Jr vs 4x state champ 132/138 Jesse Mendez State champ 4x placer 189 James Brimm vs 2x state champ/runner up 182/195 Blake Rypel 3x State champ/runner up 160 pound Andrew Howe VS 215 State champ/Greco Cadet world Silver medalist Matt Hasbrook vs 215 state champ DJ Radnovic who spent less than ten minutes total in his 4 state matches combined. 2x HW State champ Andy Schneider vs HW State champ/RUNNER UP Greg Wagner (3x D1 HW all American at Michigan) Here's some of the ones I wish I could've seen..

XCard Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hard to bet against Streck, I think people forget his State tournament resume.... 2x State Champ 3rd as a Sophomore and 7th as a Freshman (both years with a loss to eventual champs Bernard and Winfield) Had a total of 8 falls in his 4 years at the tournament. I think he gets tucked away sometimes in talks of Best big guys of all time. He was a pretty athletic and quick big guy he did not wrestle like a traditional heavyweight.

He's def a all time great big guy, sucked seeing him in in the headlines for his unsportsmanlike behavior at Nationals last month though.. Regardless he's def up there as a all time great among HWs piscis1956 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
