Metcalf got dominated in the Finals and I believe it was because he simply underestimated Caldwell. Metcalf had more drive; Caldwell had more heart and didn't fear Brent like most of the other guys.

I remember watching this match. Caldwell absolutely dominated Metcalf. And while the backflip was ill advised, the shove was uncalled for and not tolerable. I was a Caldwell fan that day. Loved his domination of Metcalf. But that being said, I'm saddened that 12 years later Caldwell still wants to fight Metcalf as he stated. Seriously? Let it go. You won that day. That's small and weak minded mentality.

This is a little ridiculous. I don't think the push was on purpose like that. There was still time on the clock. You could think of it as disrespectful that he started a celebration before time was out. I think Metcalf maybe just had some work to do on his style. The pushing forward Iowa esque style is awesome. Also what made him become successful in this sport. But, I think on the world and olympic level people were able to work around it and find unique ways to counter-act it. I don't think it had anything to do with that match. Still, he was and still is awesome for this sport. Also, I think he was trying to say they are like Ash and Gary. Relating it to Pokemon is cool lol But, maybe they are trying to hype up a rematch. That could turn into a series. Which, could be an interesting event and bring attention//revenue to the sport.
