[R U Crazy]

Starting at 165,,,,,need to be up 6 by the time we get to 157

 

[R U Crazy]

Oyster defeats Donner 2-0

NW 3
RU 0

 

[MS-RU]

Ugh Donner gets ridden out the whole third to lose 2-0.

 

[R U Crazy]

Enkhmandakh wrestling at 174. for NW (Backup)

 

[RUTrack94]

Wrestled tough but came up short ... hate to see RU get ridden out and not get a takedown ... but he held it to a decision and took more shots against a ranked opponent.

 

[R U Crazy]

Scott up 4-1 after 1....Riding time over a minute

 

[R U Crazy]

Willie Scott wins 16-1

RU 5
NW 3

 

[RUTrack94]

Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Scott with the major BOOM!!!!

 

[MS-RU]

Huge TF by Scott! Absolute domination! Super happy for him.

RU up 5-3

 

[MS-RU]

Janzer is a bull

 

[MS-RU]

Janzer up 5-0 heading into the 3rd.

 

[R U Crazy]

Janzer wins 10-2

RU 9
NW 3

 

[MS-RU]

Another dominating performance. Janzer gets the 10-2 MD.

RU up 9-3.

 

[MS-RU]

Loved seeing all of the offense and attacks from Janzer.

 

[KidDagger]

Amazing start so far

 

[MS-RU]

Awful, awful stall warning on Pagano. WTF are these guys watching.

 

[R U Crazy]

Pagano loses 2-0

RU 9
NW 6

Pagano in on 2 shots deep but can not convert

 

[MS-RU]

Tough loss for Pagano, was in a couple times but Davison was incredible on defense. Fought him off multiple times where it looked Jordan was going score.

 

[R U Crazy]

Esposito gets caught and is down 6-0 early

 

[MS-RU]

This kid is 0-12 and hasn't scored more than 5 points in a match this year...of course gets a 6 point move immediately.

 

[R U Crazy]

Down 6-2 after1

challenge brick for near fall early in 2nd

no points....challenge brick lost

 

[KidDagger]

Really need a win here... this guy is 0-12..

 

[josh1728]

This ref sucks...he is responsible for letting Van Brill and Nolf go on too long and injuring Nolf. i dont say that lightly but it is 100% accurate.

 

[MS-RU]

Down 6-2 after1

challenge brick for near fall early in 2nd

no points....challenge brick lost

Zero chance it gets overturned.

 

[josh1728]

Espo !!!!

 

[R U Crazy]

TD AND PIN FOR ESPOSITO

RU 15
NW 6

 

[KidDagger]

LFGGGGGGG!!!!

 

[MS-RU]

Esposito with the pin with 4 seconds left!!

Holy hell.

 

[RUTrack94]

Awesome first half!!!!!!!

 

[josh1728]

6 point, 5 point and 4 point wins for RU. Interesting start.

 

[R U Crazy]

Assuming pain at 157
Need a 2-2 split from 125, 133, 141 & 149

Their 174 being out hurt their lineup (and Rivera not wrestling)

A lot of this will depend on Rivera. If he's out we will be favorites at 133 and 141.. if he's in it's going to be a very tall task.

 

[R U Crazy]

They said he was out at the beginning of broadcast...we will see

 

[MS-RU]

They said he was out at the beginning of broadcast...we will see

Oh really, didn't realize that. I missed the first 10 mins of the broadcast but that would be huge especially if Sammy can get even a MD.

 

[BigLou]

Willie Scott’s tech was on 4 back points in the last 15 seconds

 

[R U Crazy]

RU winning 3-1....challenge brick on call (12 secs left)

 

[R U Crazy]

confirmed

 

[MS-RU]

Huge, huge win for Aguilar and RU!!!

Knocks off #11

RU up 18-6 and absolutely in the drivers seat to win this dual, especially if Sammy gets at least a MD.
