I've known about this for a few weeks. One of my good friends is working for IA Wrestle. I can't wait to see the Thomson vs. Mejia match. But I'm saying Mejia by at least 6 or 7. I'm telling you right now when Mejia's Hawk career is over he will have just as good or better results than Metcalf!! I am so excited to see this young man in Black and Gold. He's all in with the Hawks and he will fit perfectly as a Hawk!!!
Huge fan of Mejia but this is almost impossible to predict. In 3 tries, Metcalf won 2 titles and made 3 finals appearances. He was 108-3 in his career with 85 bonus point wins.
I was blown away by watching Thomsen at Fargo. That kid is amazing and has a motor, technique, great hips, different scoring moves and one hell of a blast double. I watched him and immediately thought about cheering for him in Black and Gold. I haven't seen as much of Meija so I'm excited to see this!

Mejia would be the #1 kid in his weight class if he actually practiced freestyle.
Met Mejia with his family after his Agon loss in CR. The kid was still all smiles even after the loss cause of all the Iowa fans around him telling him they can't wait to see him wrestling in Carver. Oh, and he just straight up wore a Hawkeye singlet for his bout against Gomez too! The kid's already bought in to the Iowa program.
Couldn't you argue the threat of exposure points lead to more points? I see wrestlers bail when another guys in on them and concede the TD rather than risk getting exposed for even more points. No exposure favors the defender since they can roll around and look for a stall without risk of exposure points...
Want to keep it folk style. Average fans don't understand freestyle exposure points yet and also that eliminates a lot of scoring issues from officials.
Have to admit that I love this kid too. Wish he was a year older so he could step in after a redshirt year.
Now we just need Lee to commit and we will be set. Would be great to get Suriano (and Renteria) too, but that would be a lot of scholly money put into the first couple weight classes (unless one of these guys starts growing). Would definitely hate to lose out on both Lee and Suriano though.
C'mon Lee, pull the trigger!!

I know Jason would love to go wrestle at carver
I would like to see and Alex Thomsen vs. Jack Wagner matchup or a Brock Rathbun vs. Jack Wagner. Thomsen and Wagner would put on a clinic from their feet. IMO they are the two best in the state at being able to get to a leg.
And please let Jason know we would love for him to wrestle at Carver!!!!!!!! Come on IAwrestle guys lets get Jason aka future Hawk there! The kid is going to be another stud for the Hawks!
Let's slow down before saying this kid will have a similar or better career to Metcalf. Those sort of prognostications just make you sound stupid.
Was the posting of this match attempting to prove something that I missed?
I Would say Spencer Lee will overtop Metcalf's career.
Mejia can surpase Ramos or be right at mcds
Marinelli surpass Zalesky or Joe williams
Kemmerer equals Schwab
I'll be happy with these

I wish you guys would get Renteria a match, too.
There's a lot of love here for Renteria too!
Do you know why Mejia and Marinelli don't wrestle freestyle at all (besides Agon)? I'm sure they are going to do very well at Iowa, but it seems like an overwhelming majority of our top-shelf studs over the years have had international aspirations and wrestled freestyle before, during and after college.
Outstanding IAwrestle gentlemen... Look out Flo, you've got some legit competition on the horizon!
that is great,you guys are really doing good things. p. s. j-rent needs to be there.
Great lineup. We're excited to be streaming both events live.
Was for me as well, our rights guys Joe Williamson (AKA Joe Flo) informed me.
Rights to the Conflict at Carver not the Night of Conflict. Have Joe give me a call. You have my number CP.
