You people need to hop of DT’s nuts. I watched all three matches. Match 1, DT got a questionable win after being awarded for what appeared like a throw attempt by J’Den. Match 2, people were complaining the the refs need to let the wrestlers wrestle and not worry about wiping them down and stopping the match so much. Match 3, they don’t wipe it down as much and people complain that it’s rigged, despite J’Den taking multiple shot attempts while injured, getting a cradle push out, an actual injury where it’s clear hyperextension ON video and people crying saying he faked it, and bad shot attempts by DT. This was far from rigged. You people are some nut hugging fanboys. Wtf!!

You can argue that Cox should have been put on a shot clock. In a close match like this perhaps that would have changed the outcome of the match. But on the other hand, Cox scored more in the second period than Taylor did, and also threatened more attacks, so it's not really a clear cut situation either.

Tore my mcl got ripped right out my knee and had two shoulders dislocated wrestling, I know many with broken necks, collar bones, arms, and noses. That’s not including the sprains and jammed fingers and all of the other pain involved in just the training, you don’t wrestle without knowing you can be hurt at any time. I got a concussion my senior year that shattered my hand eye coordination. I was wrestling against a Bergan catholic stud from jersey and he illegally threw me on my head when I was winning 9-7 and chose bottom in the third. He beat me 20-10 after that because while I took my injury time I continued to wrestle because no wrestler quits. I was taken down 5 times and was nearly pinned. I was wrestling from pure muscle memory of 7 years of training . I didn’t get pinned and I medically defaulted to 6th.

The Bergan kid outscored you 10 -1 in the third period with five takedowns?

amazing match tension were definitely at all time high. Im huge fan of DT and J Den cox. they both used off and on match intelligence to accomplish their goal as they should. Esp for the Spot they are wrestling for. DT purposely spike his knee/shin just as the whistle blow which all is fair in wrestling war and it was jden responsibility to continue wrestling passed the whistle. It was well timed and could potentially greatly increased his chance of winning. he even smartly attacked the weak leg. DT does not owe cox sympathy this is for world titles. Jden being genius used his DT tatic against him and and played into the injury in as much i do believe he was genuinely hurt at some level. he milked the clock and milked the stalling and avoiding of DT. Which is incredible smart to use the tactic and turn it into an opportunity to win yourself. DT began to give up and i wished he went balls to the wall with attacks. In the end JDen immaculate defense and allusiveness took the cake. He deserve the win. Excellent performance by both. I love where they both are now

I get that Cox got injured. But Taylor was no more passive than Cox in the first period. And several times Cox was passive after the injury, especially the last 30 seconds, fleeing. And please wipe the sweat off the mat and the wrestler. Pretty terrible conclusion to a third match.
