This is awesome 👌

[@erichvonmanstein8980]

I actually enjoyed this. Nice production all around. Top notch announcers with Shane Sparks and Mike McMullan. Camera work superb. Good looking mat and venue and of course enjoyed the matches. Just an idea for the future: three Iowa, three Iowa State, two Northern Iowa wrestlers team up vs two Penn State, two Pitt, two Penn, and two Lehigh wrestlers.

This is interesting. Can't wait to see how it evolves. #RollHumps

Enjoyed it!

[@beauhines6527]

Awesome stuff here !! How did the head pinch at the beginning of the hvy weight bout result in 2 thought I had all the rules covered.

[@CLAW_Wrestling]

Feet to back exposure (like in freestyle). If you take opponent to their back from standing position but don’t get control for a takedown, you still get 2 points for the exposure. Thx for watching!

[@trapstar2terpstar340]

I’m confused Ortega controlled the match had takedowns other guy got cut and hit a pile-on and he’s in the match

[@CLAW_Wrestling]

They both won 2 rounds, so OT. Can’t sit on a lead!

[@erichvonmanstein8980]

@@CLAW_Wrestling I'm confused by the deferral rule, can you explain that? For instance in the Keating / Parker match I thought they said Keating deferred, so therefore Parker got a point, why didn't Keating just take top if that's what he wanted?

[@CLAW_Wrestling]

@@erichvonmanstein8980 No, actually Keating chose top going into the 4th round. So Parker got one point for that.
