WNO Stillwater,OK 9/26/26 2pm

[oberebo]

For Cowboy fans like me who are eager to see some wrestling early, the Who's Number one event will provide that.
So far, of the ten weights announced our recruit #1 Michael Romero at157 is scheduled to wrestle #2 Mac Crosson.
Here are the ten matches announced as of 9/18/26.
106 Kooper Deputy v. Luke Loren
138 Dean Anderson v. Gavin Mangano
165 Melvin Miller v. Cam Howard
144 Jesse Grajedo v. Braylor Reynolds
175 Jayden O'Farrill v. Zack Aquila
157 Michael Romero V. Mac Crosson
132 Grey Burnett v. Paul Kenny
136 Sammy Sanchez v. Landon Sidun
190 Mario Carini v.Salah Tsarni
150 Jason Dube v. Clinton Shepherd
I expect there will be one or two more weights to be announced shortly including Heavyweight.
Several of the matches will be re-matches including 157 where Romero won a close match.
I have my tickets and expect a large crowd at GIA on 9/26.
LETS GO POKES!!!

They should include Villasenor in this event.

 

[oberebo]

That would make sense and maybe the last two matches will include 126 and Heavyweight.

126 is Sanchez vs Sidun . He wrote 136 by mistake

 

[topc22blue]

Should be a good one

[oberebo]

"He" did write this by mistake. BTW the final two matches have been announced and there will be no Heavy weight match. 215 will be #2 Jimmy Mastny vs. #4 Mick Moylan and at 113 will be #1 Analu Woods vs #2 Evan Restivo. The girls matches will begin at 2pm with the Men's beginning at 5:30pm.

A little disappointing that there’s not more OSU commits since it’s in Stillwater but it should be a fun event.

Home of wrestling!

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any kind of promotion about this event from David/Stilly Boys/the university. I’d have thought there would been a push to make it well-attended as a showcase for recruits.

So many guys on the card are committed. Sanchez is well aware of Stillwater. Some who aren't are heavy Penn st leans with Restivo , Farrell and Howard. Dube is one but he's a 149/57 and Oklahoma st has guys there I could see him at a big 10 school

Probably not important on many fans agenda due to the OK State/West Virginia football game which starts at 6PM and the Men's WNO starts at 5:30. I am going but I hope the PA will give us scores from the football game. Sanchez is very good but with Zinkin and Ramirez backing up Spratley do we have room for another 125 pounder? Of course their weights may change in college.

106 Deputy and 113 Woode missed weight not sure what that means for those weights

And with Raney probably being a 133 with a Jax a 141 down the line I agree getting Sanchez might not happen.

 

[HopkinsPoke]

Anyone know whether we can leave GIA and return during this event? I’m guessing not but it’ll be a 6 hour commitment if I get there for the entirety of both the boys and the girls sessions. They better have a good beer selection!

Dreshaun on crutches?🫣

Dreshaun on crutches?🫣

Michael Romero lost to the Iowa kid, 2 to 1 with position choice after Romero took an injury timeout after he was hit in the head fell down and his opponent was on top of him for the take down, but time was called but apparently Romero called for injury time which added up to a few seconds but his opponent then got choice of positions taking down and escaping. Romero was not impressive but is obviously a good wrestler but the Cowboys have grown where you may have to be a real good wrestler to start. Not sure any of our 2027 recruits will ever start for us regularly.

 

[oberebo]

I attended for the whole show except for the last match featuring Melvin Miller. We left a little early so we could hear much of the 2nd half of the football game on the way back to Shawnee. Dreshaun was on crutches with a brace on his leg. Do not know the extent of the injury and hopefully it is not serious or require surgery. He seemed in excellent spirits and it looked like most of the team appeared en masse and even participated throwing T-shirts to the crowd. Romero and Crosson made a combined total of two shots if you count the attempt by Crosson when Romero fell to the mat. By far the most boring of the matches and frankly none of the matches were that exciting. I am not a great estimator of crowd size but it was very small with very few seats on the entire west side empty, More seats filled on the ground floor filled. If I had to guess at attendance it was 1,000-1,500. Most of this caused by the football game. Probably the least exciting WNO in history. Even the Sanchez-Sidun match failed to excite the crowd ending with 2-1 TB victory for sanchez. This was marred by a clock error giving Riding time advantage to Sidun. No TD's in the match. Sanchez was a little better in the top position than Sidun and that won him the match. The Burnett/ Kenny match turned out to be a major decision for Burnett and Kenny looked over-matched.
Overall, I thought the crowd made the right decision to skip this event

Eh.

Not a good look for you guys. But I get that its football season. And a home game. TURRIBLE timing by all.

I promise you no one would fill an arena for a high school all star match featuring almost no wrestlers with ties to that school during a massive football game. If WNO was at Iowa during Iowa/MIchigan no one would be there either.

Agreed. Same thing happened when Iowa hosted WNO.

It just needs to stay at Lehigh/Snake Pit. Environment matters on the screen as well.

 

[couldabeenacowboy]

That was my first thought " This needs to be back in the snake pit "

Flo screwed this one up. Lineup to market? Didn’t get that out until a few days before. Communication on marketing and product? Nope.

I agree it wasn’t great looking, but it wasn’t even showered, much less putting on makeup.

Agreed. I looked on their site several times for any information. Pretty lacking.

Flo being incompetent? Say it ain’t so!
