AD vs Suriano
- Thread starter Big Pip
- Start date
Suriano got a takedown in the first and built up some riding time. Then spent the rest of the match dancing around and more or less baiting AD into a fight. I like AD in the rubber match, but he'll probably need to go through Micic first at nationals to make it happen.
Suriano wrestled pissed right from the start. Got an easy TD and then held on. Austin wore him down still but just didn't have enough. Suriano jawed a lot at the end (which is fair considering what Austin did in Carver). They had to be separated for a minute at the end and then they shook hands and seemed to have some good words for each other.
Suriano was obviously looking forward to this match, but I like Austin's chances in round 3

Both coaches went on the mat to hold their guys back after the match and they got docked a point for being on the mat.
Cant fault Suriano, AD poured it on at Carver, I agree, I think Austin gets him in NCAAs, saw him at his best now, that gas tank is legit
I am a Rutgers fan so of course I disagree with you on the rubber match but that’s a pretty good breakdown of what I saw.
I am not 100% sure, but I think Nick was over aggressive at the end... once they got to the line to shake hands, they seemed to agree about what happened during the match. If they are okay with it (and it looked like they both were), I don’t see a huge problem going forward.
Barring an upset somewhere... it's a good bet that you have 1. Micic 2. Fix 3. Suriano 4.ADS. The rematch could be for third place . Micic is too strong and long, imo.
I'm all DeSanto in the rubber match but I have black and gold goggles on. Objectively I think it's 50/50 either way and an entertaining match.
I looked away for a second and was pissed that DeSanto had to be held back. But I am glad that they talked and hugged it out eventually. I appreciate their fire and look forward to another match, but I don't want them jawing at each other at the end the next time they wrestle*
*full well knowing DeSanto started it two months ago and definitely deserved it today

Mimic medicals out and will probably face the same as Nolf, Kemmer, did last year. I hope your right on seeding I like Ad with a much better chance if hes the 4.
You know what? Fair.
The Iowa fan in me wants to hate this interview, but he earned it tonight, and wasn't out of line or disrespectful in what he said
Proud of the way AD handled himself. He’s come a long ways.
Agreed, it was cocky and respectful at the same time. If that was an interview an Iowa wrestler gave I would have appreciated it. I look forward to ADS getting the rematch at nationals and feel confident in his chances.
Micic forfeiting gave Fix the #1 seed. If Suriano wins against Pletcher he is #2 seed. If AD gets 3rd he is the 3. Micic is #4 . Just my opinion.
If Pletcher wins? Lord only knows. Especially if Philippi of PITT wins out
Punishment was pretty harsh last year for taking a pass
It looked to me like Suriano was pointing pretty hard at Brands and calling him out. Not sure what he said, but it made the hair on the back my head stand up
Wait a minute did Micic take a pass or is he legit hurt? I know we prob wont know but did anyone hear anything?
Unless you have a legitimate injury that caused the mff (like Suriano in 2017) and will prevent the wrestler from going 90+%, the punishment seems to be on the other wrestlers having to face the best guy earlier than anticipated. See Nolf as an example. It goes both ways.
There is a still shot floating around where it oooked like he was pointing at Telford who was pointing back.
Either way, after watching that interview, I think the extracurricular are done.

Kudos to Suriano for winnig the match He did seem to have an edge which is understandable. There were a couple of times it appeared that he wrestled too aggressively, like after the whistle, and the threw his hands up as if to say “I’m not doing nuttin’“. Classic Eddie Haskell routine.
AD and his head gear was a blessing for Suriano, I believe the outcome would have been different.
AD loss is a motivator for nationals. Plus love the thought he will be fired up beings he will be the underdog with Fix, Suriano and Micic. We just have to hope there is no break in the action to give him a better chance of winning.

These 2 wrestlers are a great match up. I think NS is the better wrestler and more dominant in both matches. However, AD turns it up a notch in the 3rd in neutral of both matches and NS feels the pressure, feels the crowd screaming for stalling. The influence on the refs, who probably dont like him anyway. But then AD goes into berzerk mode and anything can happen... great drama and intensity and its obviously personal too.
I just hope they meet again in nationals. Advantage NS but everyone will be zeroed in on this match, like Ali/Frazier. They might just pause all the other matches cause nobody will want to miss this one

Suriano is one tough cookie, no doubt about it, but so is Austin. This match is a toss-up if it happens again.
This hits everyone but Micic hard IMO. He's good enough to overcome any seed if he's reasonably healthy.
Regardless, this weight is a minefield, but Micic is the pick if he's OK. IMO
Agree. How Desanto reacted after beating Suriano in Iowa City at the end of the match was going to do nothing but give Suriano lots of extra motivation in this match and gave Suriano a pass to throw the same back to Desanto at some point. I understand the high intensity/emotion of the moment in Carver, but the reality is it happened and you can't take it back.
The next match between them (hopefully for the title) should be fabulous!

When I take off the scarlet colored glasses I have to agree, the next match is a toss up.
I think Suriano has The second best gas tank in wrestling.... to Austin.
However I do think nick is better from a technique standpoint.
The next match should be theatrics free given the score seems to be settled.

also, I see very little to no “cesspool” in the reaction to this loss. Kudos to the mods here.
Nolf hasn’t been tested since AP Calculus. Hard to gauge his tank.
He is the best wrestler in college though.
