Mendez is a beast. He's never out of position.

Very low scoring, but in my opinion, nothing worthy of a stalling call. Glad the ref didnt insert himself.
Mendez is so damn good. Not used to seeing opponents cut a PSU guy lose to hunt bonus .
If Mendez does the “My house”, hand to the ear, or the finger to the lip deal I hope Scooter punches him in the sack
Mendez is a monster he is just bullying Davis
IT WAS OVER BEFORE WEIGH INS!
Since burning his shirt, Davis hasn't had an easy schedule.
And now, at 149, may I present to you Tom Ryan "growing the sport"
Throwing Davis around like a sack of scooters
Mendez being a bit of a punk after the match. Pushing down on Davis and seeing if he could get him to react. Mendez is an absolutely incredible wrestler but I’ve never really liked him
Braeden’s conditioning isn’t improving. That’s the biggest concern.
Mendez is an absolute animal. Such a joy to watch him wrestle.
Right up there with Mitchell and Levi as the best wrestlers in their weight class.
Think Desmond would have given more Fight.
He tried his best to get pinned 3 times. Just turn down after a takedown
Davis was simply trying not to get pinned. Personally don’t think he techs Desmond
Do they get a free bowl of soup for that?
Hate to see Davis lose by TF but I think those first two wins took the wind out of their sails
Eh I could see Mitchell doing something similar. Davis is going to get people baiting him after what happened against Hardy.
My thought as well. He was gassed after 1

He must have missed that day at practice when they taught bellying out.
I think Mendez and Mesenbrink are in a slightly higher class than Levi with respect to their weight class. I still think Levi wins the title, but closer matches.
Agree. He was trying to elicit a reaction. Some guys are likeable winners and some are not. He is not.
Mendez would tech Desmond. I think Mendez techs anyone not named Hardy, Vega, Stanich, and Echemendia the rest of this year
Why on earth does this kid have "1969" tatted on his thigh? Reminds me of a bag of spare parts observed with who had "established 1991" across his chest in big block letters.
Yeah I don’t mind it. Like you said, people are going to bait Davis. I’m glad to see Braeden didn’t react at all
Is this the year Van Ness breaks through? This is the first time I've seen him this year. For others who have watched him this year, where has he improved?
Come on guys. That was a nothing burger with Mendez.
