No. Did it have to frustrate the heck out of Hendricks? I am sure. Did Perry get his arm raised? Yes. Not that Jay Robinson is any slouch of a coach but Metcalf does have the advantage of having quite possibly the greatest wrestling coach ever in the room with him. Brands, Gable and Metcalf will analyze this match-up to no end and look to exploint DS' weaknesses as much as possible. It is quite possible that Metcalf comes out and wrestles a different style for that match to try and take advantage. Do I think Metcalf will win? I have no idea but I know I will sure as heck enjoy watching him trying. Win or lose it could be the match of the year and I can't wait. |
My memory of the Perry Hendricks match is that Hendricks blew that match by not chosing nuetral in the third. Perry wrestled the same match he always does, but he persistance paid off with hednrick's mistake/overconfidence in the third allowing Perry to use his funk. In my mind similar to the way Perry beat Letters his frsshman year.
