Best or Favorite Upsets this Year

Topic ID: 3308 | 76 Posts

I wanna know what people think are the best upsets this year or who really stepped up and gave a much higher ranked guy a close fight.  Team upsets. 

James Scheider [sp?] almost beating Ty Wolfe. James lost by a point and the ref didn't give him three back points for a nice cradle. He also had Ty stuck. I would reeeeeeally like to see that match happen again at state.

I would like to see Smith upset in the semifinals at state. 

TC's HWT over Whiting in 30 or like 45 seconds

I remember Julian Dominguez at Wayne County pinned Mat Green and Glenn Frost pinned Jacob Bradford.

This weekend at South Oldham Nathan Gray pinned Jordan Whiting.

Houston Croney pinning Jordan Whiting in the begining of the second period at the Big East.

i agree i wasnt there for that one i had 5 matches and left but i wish i would have stayed :|

Let's face it. Whiting is strong and fit and looks impressive walking onto a mat, but he just isn't that good of a wrestler.

wow that was a little mean, but i mean really most hwts dont have every many moves just a trip and a pin, but his size has really mad him a good wrestler. Ive seen him push our hwt off of him and he uses the 2 pounds to make weight :|

It's not that Jordan Whiting isn't a good wrestler he a a awesome wrestler, he just is giving up 70lbs. when he  wrestles someone. I know cause I used to give up 70lbs. every time I walked on the mat back in the day. But I was strong enough to hang with all them guys thats how I won and thats how Jordan wins.

i seriously doubt he is 215

he was huge

i normally weigh in around 225 and i have been doing pretty well this season last year i wieghed around 255- 260

:-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Sorry -- I really wasn't intending to be ugly. I just dislike seeing guys who aren't in nearly as good a shape as Whiting beat him. I enjoy seeing true athletes at heavyweight instead of guys who are just fat and so big they hold their opponent down with sheer weight. Years ago Conner had a heavyweight who was an impressive athlete. He was like Paul Bunyan or something -- just a huge guy. It's more fun to watch guys like that or Whiting than a couple of guys who look like Sumo wrestlers. So I guess Whiting has disappointed me, that's all.

If Whiting was a 'true athlete'  who would have won the match with gray.

That was a great match Saturday. Ty got caught, and he couldn't do anything. I'm still wondering why the ref didn't give him the three points, but it's over and done with now.

Not really wrestling but i just watched UK beat Tennessee at Rupp, that was a big upset. GO CATS

If Whiting was a 'true athlete'  who would have won the match with gray.

He is definetly a true athlete! You don't make a verbal comittment to play major college football if your not!!

my fav. ALMOST upset was ty wolfes match against moores 160...that match was amazing....and i wish the match would have been longer :|

James is very under-rated. He's a gamer, for sure.

Matmama are you calling me a big fat heavyweight??? haha i weighed in at 258

i normally weigh in around 225 and i have been doing pretty well this season last year i wieghed around 255- 260

dude you could go to 215 and rape

Matmama are you calling me a big fat heavyweight??? haha i weighed in at 258

Well, it depends on how tall you are, dude. If you're 7 ft., you're good!

im 6'2. But i mean he's not giving that much up on me whats he weight 230, 240

Speaking of Ty man that inside trip Dusty hit on him was SWEET!

I don't even think I wrestled good that match but even when i'm kinda off I think I can hit that trip on anybody. I miss it when i'm lazy sometimes but I think it's pretty much like free points for me. It's a reliable takedown.

Yeah now you just need to make it pretty...it's just ugly. lol

I wander if Ty was thinkin' "Wow. That was ugly." when he hit the mat. :-o :mrgreen:

now don't get yer satin undies in a wad, can't you see the lol at the end.

I'm not gettin' worked up, sugar. You know you're my boo-boo muffin. :-P

hey I saw that you posted your match against Fern Creek's 189 on youtube.  that was pretty cool even though you lost. lol  I didn't see an inside trip in that match. lol :wink:

Oh well. I was very nervous. I thought he was gonna be some kind of beast. I think I might have tried to half-ass one. Can't remember. How has he been doin', anyway?

Lose to Houchins?

Lose to Houchins?

No he lost to Jordan Tennyson from Central in the quarterfinals then beat him in conso finals for 3rd.

Michael Osborne lost to Travis Sullivan 2-0 at state duals.

i watched the osbourne sullivan match is was a really good one it looked like sullivan was stalling a lot at the end osbourne kept shooting in and sullivan kept backing up, but all it all a smart a good match by both of them

I would love to wrestle that match again.. And danger, I would love to mop the mat wit you once again.. Maybe even the gym floor.. But I'll let you decide

im 6'2. But i mean he's not giving that much up on me whats he weight 230, 240

i don't think you are 6'2 i am like 6'1 and i thought i was taller then you lol

the ty wolf match and the miller vs martin i think have been the best of the year

i watched the osbourne sullivan match is was a really good one it looked like sullivan was stalling a lot at the end osbourne kept shooting in and sullivan kept backing up, but all it all a smart a good match by both of them

i bet they will run in to each other at state and i wouldnt be suprised if it went to overtime. these are two solid wrestlers and i dont think either will back down

Dunn of Moore beating Wolfe at The Mustang Classic is a big upset. The way Wolfe acted on the mat was uncalled for. Punching the mat and screaming after he started to get down.

It's okay. Ty will just mop the mat/basketball court with him next time. :roll:

Ty is a good wrestler, but he is not good enough to "mop the mat" with Ethan. Dunn, when he actually wrestles, can compete with everyone at 171 with the exception of Reid.

Infact, if they do wrestle again at state I woud expect another 1-2 point decision either way. And every match I have seen of Ty's that stays close he ends up self destructing.

It was sarcasm :-D

lol ridge, these are some funny pictures you keep posting

She had it coming to her when she stepped between the ropes with Iron Mike. :-D

I can't wait for state finals.  Elam vs. Bradbury.  I hope. 

the best upset i saw was bontranger beating wempe

a lose is a lose BUT, it put him in the other side of the bracket away from Voth,Vinsant,Zeppa(who are ALL in the upper bracket) lol

it's loss...are you saying he an't beat those guys?

one of my fave upsets was aaron harris a first year wrestler beating bebop

I can't wait for state finals.  Elam vs. Bradbury.  I hope. 

Sorry, won't happen in the finals.  Random draw has been posted, they will meet in the semis. :cry:

it's loss...are you saying he an't beat those guys?

So based on all of that here are the only conclusions I can come up with:

1) Wempe has the edge (no losses to KY kids) and has beat Voth and Bontrager

2) Voth only lost to Wempe, but beat virtually everyone else

3) Zeppa only lost to Voth, but beat everyone else

I think those guys are a half a step ahead of the field right now, but there are about half a dozen other guys who could easily get hot and win the title.

so Bontrager beat Wempe at Regions but Jake's still in good shape with a quarter final match with parks/evans and not with voth/zeppa/vinsant/murphy

Bontrager has to be a favorite here.He pretty much dominated Wempe @ regions.

Wempe beat Bontrager at takedown tournament and 5-0 at region 1 duals 2 weekends ago,

one a out of 3 aint bad i guess? lol

So I guess he'll have to go through Voth/Vinsant in the Quarters and Zeppa in the semi's to get to the finals

That some work to do there!!!

Yea bontrager had wempe in a cradle pretty quick into the match and wempe couldnt get enough points to get back into the match... bontrager wrestled well defensively for the rest of the match, good win for him, hope to see these two region 1 wrestlers in the finals saturday night

5 points is a deep hole to dig out of against a good wrestler like Bontrager. It was a very exciting match to watch.

Ethan Miller over Zarth in the finals at reginals would have to be 1 of mine

my man Dakoda beating Ashbrook in over time

The best upset by far goes to spencer doing the unthinkable upseting sullivan thats just unthinkable but i was sitting not far away the refs tried to determin the match tho giving him all the calls i thought spencer jumped callsing sullivan to move but its past. but my favorite upset was by far deinlein from campbell beating coty lewis from woodford it was unreal he would have pinned him if there was 2 more seconds o the clock and great latoral deinlein it was amazing

hey fuller who was the large trinity dude you beat in semi's when you got hurt?? that guy was preeeetty fit.. he looked like an oversized 215 but idk what he weighed and also, how was he compared to bailey? (im tryin to pick out the most monstrous heavyweights)

Zach Pearson, an unranked heavyweight or very low at the time beating a high ranked Houston Croney early in the season. One of his best matches all year....I liked watching Wempe beat Bontrager at state, I LOVED watching Miller get beat up by the Eastern Kid, what an athlete....just a few that come to mind

8-)

i loved seeing norberry beat wempe and zeppa

Shameless self promotion.

Wempe got the shaft in a certain match....

I was surprised that Palmer made it all the way to the finals.  And of course the 112 finals.

yes pamer over badgett and also one that surprised me was supe over hoskinson

Wempe got the shaft in a certain match....

what match was it that wempe got the shaft

supe was way under ranked.  He had a two point match against brown and was pinning him near the end of the match.  Maybe he wasn't ranked high because he has missed weight a few times and not been able to show his skill.

No, I think he did just as he should have.  He took the "low" ranking as a challenge and stepped up to the challenge.

Results that supported his lower ranking:

3rd at KOB (behind Huffine and Bracco)

Forfeited at WCI (injury maybe)

Didn't wrestle at 5 Star

Didn't wrestle at Dragon

what match was it that wempe got the shaft

I think anyone there , who saw the match, knows what match Wempe got the shaft in.

I remember what match snoot got the shaft in.. it was all part of a bad day for union, he still came back and placed 4th which is all that matters.. refs tried to screw union every way possible at some point, just a certain few

it would have to be sullivan losing or ashbrook losing
