Crazy shit…acting like a little girl.
Funny that Willie rails on CP for his opinion while simultaneously refusing to reveal his own vote.
Yep, quality of competition is one of the factors, and that's the difference maker for Wyatt in my opinion.
And that's probably why some people shouldn't be posting while drinking.Looks like there was some deleting, but receipts were kept.
I am so tired of all this hoopla about a 5 time champ. Who, among us, does not think all the 4 time champs would have won a 5th title, if they had the chance? No one I am guessing!!
HWT was the most difficult bracket ever???? There were three elite guys and one was very injured coming into the tournament. Yes his victory over Gable was historic but in no way was this one of the toughest brackets ever. JMO
Pyles is such a dork. Between him and dumb ass Ben askren there might not be 2 worse ambassadors of the sport.. well I’d say mineo but he’s irrelevant.Looks like there was some deleting, but receipts were kept.
And some people shouldn't be posting while sober either!!
But those are all past credentials
I totally understand what your saying - at first look you would assume they all win again. but as we've seen it is hard to stay healthy for all of those years - even Carter didn't stay healthy the entire time, but he still won while injured.
The Hodge trophy is named after Dan Hodge. 46-0 with 36 pins. If you don't think pins are essential then rename the award.
I think it’s more about how can you win 5x and have no Hodges? Gable won “only” twice and has two Hodges to show for it. They wrestled the same time period. You’d have to say Carter had the better career.
its not a lifetime achievement award
and that has nothing to do with the hodge trophy though. Its about the individual season. Carter can have won 5 years in a row and in each of those seasons someone else had a more dominant season individually
I get it and like I said I am fine with Wyatt winning it. They have just deviated from that criteria enough times now that I more look for who is beating everyone badly vs. falls….
And Aaron Judge only belted 62 homers in a season because he plays at Yankee Stadium.
Not really. That stat isn’t to say that the big guys are easier to put on there back. It is simply that it is that much harder for them to get off their back. Gravity and physics and such…
Yes I realize that and was going to same the same exact thing, but that still doesn't mean anything when talking about The Hodge Trophy.
Agree 100%. Especially in the era of the 3-pt takedown and 4-pt near fall. Pinning has to contribute significantly in the portfolio if one is to earn the Hodge.
True, but the ghost of Ness over Varner holds on with a vise grip for any Minnesota fan!
Agreed.
