He has beaten Valencia and Henson before. Not saying he’s a favorite in that group, but I can absolutely see a path to him winning the title. But I’m a big SVN fan so you can call me biased if you want.
he is overdue... I like his chances in a very stacked division

We see it every year. Very talented guys making big cuts struggling at season's end because they are worn out and don't have gas tanks.
PSU fans: John Smith killed his guys with hard cuts HAHAHAHAHA

Also PSU fans: our guys can cut to any weight we fancy with no issues, especially guys with concussion histories, because reasons.

I don’t know what to think of that. I really do enjoy using wrestlestat for when I need to see a wrestler’s match history, but I’m not sure it’s worth $40 a year. The rankings have been pretty wonky every now and then. Many times we’ll see a guy ranked ahead of a guy who just beat him.

I can’t blame them for wanting to sell their services, but i’m also not sure if it’s a service that many people will actually pay for? I think I’ll be waiting a few months and seeing how much I actually miss the stuff behind a paywall before deciding.

Smalls put it out there a couple months ago that Kasak might be going for 149. Go complain to him.

Maybe I will test the bounds of ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Claude on such wrestling things, and find which is best while they are still free ... not for long, you can bank on that.

I mentioned it in another thread, but, I think it is worth every penny.
In that case contact me.

AGREED BUT...would this be a BIG cut? he wrestles 157 and 149 (150) is 7.9 pounds. He is on the shorter side at 157. He carries a lot of muscle. I am not sure this would be a hard cut for Kasak

yes but we are talking 2 and even three weight classes. Kasak would be dropping 8 pounds. he is shorter for 157 and carries a lot of muscle. Not sure this would be a big or a hard cut for Tyler.
