Favorite non-hawks

[SASHmoney]

What are some guys past or present you enjoy/enjoyed watching or pull for when they’re not going against Iowa?

For me presently I like watching Yianni Diakomihalis and I pull for Chance Marsteller. Alex Dieringer and imart were guys I pulled for recently too. Any favorites for you all?

 

[crablegs1]

I’ve really enjoyed watching Myles Martin the last couple of years. His technique is so crisp it’s beautiful to watch. Probably my favorite guy to watch where I have no rooting interest.

 

[meatloaf55]

I wouldn't say I root for any non hawks really but I enjoy watching nolf and bo nickal.. also always fun to watch dake and Jordan Burroughs.. I guess when I'm not watching hawks exclusively I enjoy watching excellent wrestlers.
I'll say my favorite "style" to watch in general is the Hawkeye style that Tom and Terry brands had but I can appreciate any great wrestling

 

[Wink8]

Gable Steveson, wish he was in black and gold

 

[Spoons]

Present would easily be Nolf or maybe Nickal
Recent Past: Dake, Deiringer, Ruth or anybody that beat Taylor
Past: This hurts to say but Carl
Old School: Smith & Gable

Some not so favorites: Berger, Rutherford, Taylor, Molinari, Caldwell, Hendricks, Lesner.

 

[pablow]

I liked Bubba Jenkins for a year.

 

[Nahf]

I enjoy watching Nick Lee. He kinda gets overlooked on a team of superstars.

 

[hoythawk]

Grajales for about 2 minutes.

 

[uncle jim 62]

Nolf, Nickal, Gable, Mckee, Riveria. Miccic, Masa

 

[hawkster03]

Bo. He’s been the most exciting wrestle for a few years now, at least to me. He has more technique than about 4 of our starters combined.

Lee Kemp
Mark Churella
Nate Carr
Kenny Monday
Dave Schultz
Johnnie Thompson
Jake Herbert
Ben Askren (Until he wrestled Luedke and shot his mouth off)
Eric Grajales
Isaiah Martinez
Kyle Dake (Loved when he beat Taylor, hated that he stalled two periods against St. John and needed some favorable calls to beat Marion)
Zahid Valencia (Except when he wrestles Hall - Hall is in his head)
Seth Gross
Yianni Diakamilhalis
Tariq Wilson
Kyle Conel (The few matches I've seen)
Myles Martin
Jason Nolf
Bo Nickal

Odd present list for a guy that complained a lot about a certain wrestler being held out. I would say you are a liar if you say you would tune into over half of your present list ahead of Lee, DeSanto, or Marinelli.

 

[mike tognetti]

Chris Perry OSU. Winning his second NC!

Not sure what your problem is. The thread subject is non-Hawks. And my list is based on a variety of factors that do not weight equally among wrestlers and most certainly do not require your approval.

Don’t ruin a positive thread with frivolous b.s.

He was pinned, but whatever.

Forrest molinari? I like her

My bad on the thread title. I think the intention was for Hawk fans to post non hawks. You "guests" would post wrestlers not affiliated with your team. My apologies if that isn't accurate with the OP.

McPillin every thread turns to shit with all the trolls so maybe worry about yourself.

 

[JohnBasedow]

Past: Ben Askren and a random one but AJ Shopp.

Current: Zahid Valencia and Eierman

Look into this:

You single handedly make HR very difficult to read. I've reached my end of tolerance for you. You have now doubled my ignore list. We8iast won't be lonely anymore.

This is a good topic. Lets get back on track.

Current:
Nolf - obviously an amazing wrestler but what I really like is his mean streak that he just barely keeps in check. It came out at the end of the Buffalo match, facemush and a cradle slam?? Damn.. I really, really want to see him do more of that.

Yianni - so smooth, crazy flexibility.

past:

Imar - brute. Loved how he just overpowered people with his underhook series

Ben Askren - just wrecked dudes his jr and sr years. Very impressive.

Dylan Ness - seemed like he could a pin at any time from any position.

Scott Moore - how could you not like someone that regularly pinned D1 opponents with a headlock?

 

[Spoons]

Sorry meant "Frank the tank" my bad guys

 

[Twoooooooo]

Even though he ended up a Hawk, I would have to put my favorite at being Ray Brinzer. He always made his matches interesting as it seemed like he made moves up as the match progressed. Would love if we had that style of funk with some of our guys now. Another would be Ben Askren for obvious reasons.

BRING BACK THE FUNK!!

 

[Dingledorf13]

I’d root for Drew Foster against anyone. He is my favorite in D1 right now.

All-time: Cary Kolat and J. Jaggers. I absolutely loved watching Jaggers cradle people from the craziest positions.

 

[Inthecircle]

Current-Yianni,Nickal

Past-Jim Gibbons, Dave Schultz, Kirk Myers, Brian Snyder, Nate Carr, Coleman Scott .

Least favorite, by far..........drum roll....
Johnny (Tap Out) Hendricks.

 

[rustynailhawk]

Tony Nelson. End of thread

 

[NLBSix]

Quentin Wright and Dylan Ness

 

[GableEdge]

Past Hawks: Mark Perry, Luke Moffitt, Mike Zadick, Mark Ironside

Non hawks: Nolf, Zahid, Bryan Snyder

 

[Dingledorf13]

Current-Yianni,Nickal

Past-Jim Gibbons, Dave Schultz, Kirk Myers, Brian Snyder, Nate Carr, Coleman Scott .

Least favorite, by far..........drum roll....
Johnny (Tap Out) Hendricks.

Least favorites...

Current... undoubtedly Daton Fix. He is boring in every way, on and off the mat and bad for the sport due to his boring, unlikable ways.

All-time? Jeesh... it’s probably Fix. I don’t know if I have ever wanted someone to lose so badly as I do Fix, every time he steps on the mat.

 

[OldestandGreatest]

Current: Nolf and Nickel. For pure entertainment value, I'll add in A.Gomez.

Past: TJ Jaworsky, Mike Land, Stephen Neal, Brian Dolph
