Of course there is a chance I'm wrong about Nick. It's just that Nick has been taking a pounding with the elite guys, and he's not scoring much for points with them.

Not really. It’s a great weight class because it doesn’t go off the boil after the top 2-3 guys, but I don’t think there is a true stud in the weight class. By stud, I mean someone like Nickal or Nolf. There is not one single guy in that weight class that is both great attacking neutral and on top. I love the weight class because anyone can win, but pound for pound, not one of the 133 guys would make my top 10.

Micic is such a world class powerhouse...and the level of skill most of his competition has ..and he still beats them...what a tactician...great weight-class for entertainment and dominant wrestlers also. Suriano was 159-0 with four high school state championships...look at 06:30 and right before the final period...looks like Micic is walking up to a salad bar for a snack. Conditioning.

Never against a top guy. At this level-top five in a weight class-all these guys are good in all positions relative to an average wrestler. However, it’s when they face each other, people find out their real strengths abs weaknesses.

Excellent match

Suriano was the much better wrestler this match. I think his problem is that he’s not used to shooting that much on a top wrestler, hence why he allowed the takedown. But that’s okay, though. He allowed one takedown and could have had three or four of his own. I think he might be the best wrestler at that weight class. That’s quite a poor showing for Micic who got lucky a few stoppages. If he lets other top wrestlers continually get to his legs like this, he’ll lose.

they’re going to make for great teammates

If Nick can smooth out his rough edges, I think he could still be a favorite. He seems to control most of these big matches but he is falling short. For one, I think he needs to work on conditioning a little, but more than likely he is just cutting too much weight. Causing him to die out after a burst of offense or at the end of matches. This was most apparent against Austin. In this match, you really get a feel for it at the beginning of the 2nd. Here he seems he is just catching his wind for the first minute. He seems to be literally leaning on micic as a strategy to catch his breath. But again, I can't imagine a wrestler of this Caliber being out of shape. And it makes me think it is a weight cut issue. Which I hope isn't true. He is so talented, and cutting too much weight just takes all the fun out of it. For his sake, I hope this isn't the case. He also needs to have a couple solid go to moves. If he can do a couple things, he can start dictating the outcome a little better. He doesn't have much of a go-to offense, seems more reactionary. At 1:20, even with his offense.... he gets in on the shot, and then he seems lost. You get a full 8 count of him just hanging on. No movement on either side. He doesn't move (react ) until micic tries to switch out of it. So.. again , even with his offense, he is reactionary vs being the aggressor. And with his reactionary style he ends up positive often based on his strength alone. And I think that is illustrated at the end of the match here. You can see he kind of just changes levels without much of an idea of what to do. Like he is a bit lost. If you look st the PSU "row" they all have several go to moves that they are confident in, and they would all be able to st least put in a couple solid attempts at the end of a match. And they would have enough gas left to do so. Nick just needs to do a few things to start coming out on top here. Conditioning (which may be out of his control if he is cutting more than 10 lbs. off of his lowest natural weight) and a little technical work would help him finish those two shots, that were called off, much quicker. The technical work would put him in a better, more offensive position, and conditioning would help him drive through it. And keep your head in the match. Don't worry about the refs, control what you can control. Anyhow... just my two cents.

Suriano should practice nothing but finishing.

I hate potentially dangerous calls on near completed takedowns. Okay for one, if your defense of a move is something that can hurt you, you’re defending the move incorrectly and the ref shouldn’t bail out a wrestler that is letting his knee be torqued 90 degrees because he’s too stubborn to allow the takedown. Either he will hurt his knee and learn when to admit defeat or the takedown will be completed. The rule book shouldn’t be bailing out stubbornness and punishing wrestlers that have nearly completed a takedown. I just hate potentially dangerous calls in general. Only called when they’re never needed, and when they’re desperately needed they’re called way too late. If a top wrestler is putting on an illegal move I get it, but if the defending wrestler’s defense is “let him wrench my knee until the ref steps in” that’s an abusal of the rule, wrestlers shouldn’t be using their health as leverage to stop takedowns.

I think potentially dangerous is a bullshit call if its due to someone avoiding a takedown or pin. Give up the points or get your limb broke! Period!

Suriano won’t be winning any national titles until he stops playing the victim every time a potentially dangerous, unnecessary roughness, or stall calls is against him. The refs call it the same whether it’s him or an unranked kid but he seems to think he should be an exception and so do his fans

Suriano needs to be that aggressive bully wrestler he use to be literally wait until the last minute for everything. And talk about stalling that's all you ever see from guys now a days score late and runs away proving nothing but doubt in their skills as a wrestler

Thanks to Suriano, I no longer need sleeping pills. All I have to do is put on a tape of one of his matches against a top competitor--and in no time I'm fast asleep.

Suriano could have been a 3X NCAA champion under Cael Sanderson. He only had a handful of losses in high school and none that flawed his dual meet 159-0 record. He's now a serial quitter. He got beat a few times at Penn State and quit - then he lost in the Olympic trials and quit - he even refused to wrestle his consolation matches - now he quit Rutgers... SAD! He could have been a great wrestler but he will leave college with one NCAA championship! He's super strong for his weight just not a great technical wrestler.
