HWC Showdown Match Announcements
- Thread starter BELDEEN
- Start date
Green vs the bull is very interesting. Bull stays low with those heavy hands I believe he pulls it out.
i think we are finding out why the $ was where it is. 4 great matches and i think the best is yet to come.
Micic vs Lee would be interesting.Micic has had some success on the Senior international level be a good match for Lee
Well done HWC. This event is going to become the standard all the others like it will be compared to. I’m saving my allowance up now to get the ppv.
Lugo vs J.O. would be sweet.
<<I apologize if this is out there, but is there a time set for this? I just see 11/1 on everything. Just surprised that when I go to complete the purchase, this isn't in the event details. >>
I believe 6pm central-- But i will confirm-- Thank for letting me know!

I am excited to see how well Bull and Kem execute from Parterre positions.
I see Bull being better from defensive parterre and defense on his feet. 5 points could win the match
Kem Dawg better offensively from parterre and on his feet. Kem likes to roll around more than Bull and me thinks this could be shoot out. I don’t know much about Gantt though, thoughts?

Gantt has had some moderate success on the senior level, but I’m pretty sure McFadden beat him a few weeks ago. I’m pretty high on Kem when it comes to freestyle so I see a pretty big win for him in this one.
Gantt is really known for his conditioning.
last year he took 2nd at the US Open to IMAR (6-4) at 74kg. He beat Massa and A Valencia. He took 3rd at WTT beating Ritchie Lewis and Vallimomt.
i think Kem will have a pretty good size advantage here.
Wow! Tall task for Cass but I love that they are challenging the guys. 3 of the college guys are taking on world/Olympic medalists so far.
Welp, we've hit $30 level value, and what only half way done?
Remember when posters were questioning the price tag? Hahaha
For real, without knowing ahead of time what the matcbes would be, I understand. But damn they are delivering.

I'll stand by it. I still think $30 is too high if you're trying to pull in a significant amount of non-hawk fans, which was my first thought.
However, as others pointed out, when you have the largest, most committed fan base in the country, you don't necessarily have to consider that when trying to maximize income. I'm going to assume the HWC has a pretty good idea how many hawk fans are going to shell out $30. Looking forward to it.
Love Eierman, but you'd have to consider him just as big an underdog against an Olympic champ right? He didn't even place at the US Open last time out.
Wow...several very stout matches already announced and still several yet to be announced. Good stuff!!

We have projections,scenerios etc.. and right now there isnt a "right" answer-- a LOT of debate on what right price is to maximize value to all involved-- HWC, Trackwrestling, and the athletes.
We are excited and hopeful that this is a compelling, interesting card !

great wrestling and the HWC makes money..... this is a no brainer especially being so starved for watching competition in this day and age
I think Yianni went close with him, and Eierman is close with Yianni. If Eierman can get into the 2nd period, it should be a tight match.
I know Eierman always wrestles Yianni tough, but take a look at their common opponents in freestyle. In freestyle, Yianni has performed at a different level. Transitive property doesn't work in wrestling.
In Jaydin’s first international tournament he pinned a world silver medalist. You’re telling me he has no chance to win?
Time to pony up. Great matches during Covid and the money is going to the right place. Thank you to all at the HWC that have put forth the effort to put this event together!
I take back everything I said about the price.
I still plan on taking a case to my buddy's place, but I might even buy the stream so my dog can watch at home without me.

I was thinking the same thing - Brands is probably trying to restock the women of HWC
Seems like a weird move to cut ties with 3 potential olympians only to replace them with lower ranked wrestlers. I would be very happy though. I'd love to see Hildebrandt in Iowa. Very fun to watch.
