I've done this topic a couple of times over the years. If you could have a dream match between past and present wrestlers, who would it be and why? Keep this thread fun and light hearted. No since in getting it shut down. To start out, I'd like to see Rodney Hawkins (former Christian Co State Champ) vs Lampe St. X. Something just tells me that this would make for a great match up. I'll take Rodney in a close one. I'd also like to see Tim Lawson (former Henry Clay State Champ) vs Andreoni WC. Talk about technical! Wow! Hammers. I'll take Andreoni in another close one.

Lawson would definitely beat Andreoni, although Max could probably compete as a senior.

Got to remember, we are talking about Lawson the high school kid, not the college wrestler from EMU. Big difference.

How about a brother match up.   Kevin Cooper Vs Brad Cooper. (Sr years)

Or a father son match up.  Korey Shotwell Vs Matt Shotwell (Sr years)

Brad vs Kevin would be epic!

Brock Ervin at 106 vs Saul at 106

Brock Ervin at 106 vs Saul at 106

As 8th graders I definitely go with Brock. If you let Saul come in as a freshman vs Brock as an 8th grader that might be a fun one.

I'll go with two of my all time favorite wrestlers: John Wolseifer (Fern Creek) vs Jon Wiard (Frankfort).

Here's how I see it going. After a minute and a half of tough hand fighting and pummeling Wolseifer gets a takedown and ride out and leads 2-0 at end of first. Wiard takes down and quickly escapes, gets taken down again, gets away, and is taken down again and trails 6-2 at the end of the second. Wolseifer takes down. After some hard riding they get into a crazy scramble during which Wiard locks up his patented cradle and pins Wolseifer with 3 seconds left on the clock.

Atm vs Livingston Merritt. Any thoughts?

Ok if were dreaming,i would like to have seen Nathan Boston vs Brock Ervin,yes i know 2 different weights but imo the 2 best to ever come out of the state.

Off the top of my head Jeff fitch vs. Steven Myers.  myers the more technician fitch bigger and stronger at 155

Here is one for you.

Both have two totally different styles but both very solid and very technical.

Dave Barnes (Simon Kenton 135) vs Sean Fausz (Campbell County 138)

Willie Ennels vs Tendai Charasika

How about Joe Carr Jr. Vs Brock Ervin for the undisputed State Championship.

How about this one:  Mark Hitchings, 1981 champ at 167lbs vs. Brad Hitchings, 2009 and 2010 champ at 171 lbs.  We still argue over this.  I think I could have whipped Brad!!

you can throw bo hines into that fricas too

Because they were two guys I got to see compete and dominate in my career, Mitch Ervin (Union County) and Harrison Courtney (Woodford County) their senior years. Pretty sure they never wrestled because Mitch was always a bit bigger.

Courtney would have the advantage on the mat while Mitch couldn't be touched on his feet.

I'd take Brad in this one.  I've seen Brad do things on the mat that you couldn't have dreamed of in your day

Good call out Jim, not to mention Brads probably learned how to defend that Navy Ride we've heard about a few times.

But it might be close, it's not to late they could still wrestle.

What about Stephen Myers VS Austin Myers another brother vs brother

Round Robin:

Bruce Stepp vs Livingston Merritt vs ATM

How about this raider coach.

Matt lee vs Mike Lee. 2 state champs

Dutch I'm sure that happened continually in the Lee household.  How about it MLee? 

Taylor Scherer vs Austin Myers

How about this raider coach.

Matt lee vs Mike Lee. 2 state champs

We wrestled off one time in the 7th grade.  The winner had the luxury of wrestling eventual state champion Tommy Storms off for varsity.  I regret to inform you that Matt beat me in OT.  He holds it over my head to this day.  As I remember it, I had the flu and had a temperature of 104 at the time .  I think I got the last laugh though, watching Tommy beat Matt like a drum for the final wrestle off. 

Those were the days.  I just loved getting in 4-man shark baits with Tommy Storms, Chris Rump, and John Roth as a 7th grader.  All of them pounded me in their own unique way.  Tommy liked to put me on my back in two seconds and proceed to bury his chin in my eye socket for the remaining 2 minutes.  Chris was the meanest of the group. He usually liked to find different ways of hurting me with arm bars and crossfaces.  John loved practicing his 5-pt throws on me.  I got a ton of practice fighting off my back in the 7th grade.   

Maybe I could set up a rematch at my house. Sounds like you weren't 100% when matt beat you. You were so descriptive when you talked about the wrestle off in 7th grade. I think it's time to set that baggage down. You have carried it long enough.

I will call Matt and see if I can set it up. I will also call and see if Neely will ref it. Just don't ask him if something looks like ringworm.

yeah that's perfect.....get Neely to ref it and you still won't know who the better wrestler is......

You out there Joe?   anyway here's one for you old folk.. Shaun Fauze vs. Marc Hennessy

How about this one:  Mark Hitchings, 1981 champ at 167lbs vs. Brad Hitchings, 2009 and 2010 champ at 171 lbs.  We still argue over this.  I think I could have whipped Brad!!

Yeah, but neither of you could hang with Brent at 140.
