I think that it will be the Classic case of a superior wrestler who lost by making a mistake getting revenge big time.......I predict that MEtcalf, whatever the score is will physically beat up Caldwell, break him mentally and score a lot in the last period.........

I could see this happening in one of their bouts. The issue is that this is the All-Star Classic so there is no pressure to win it thus you may not see Caldwell come out like a guy that needs to win it. That could keep the match down. I still see Metcalf putting up some takedowns and agree that most of these may occur in the third period. And although I think Caldwell is an incredible athlete and has such an amazing arsenal, Metcalf appears to be the rare athlete that takes personal offense to any poor performances and thus wrestles to dominate his opponent every time he takes the mat.

Why is it when a favored wrestled loses it was because he made a mistake? But if he wins it is because of his superior [pick one: conditioning, toughness, skill, athletic ability...].

No doubt that Mecalf is a talent, as is Caldwell. Hopefully they have a wildly entertaining match.

Because it was a spladdle..........not exactly like putting in a half and horsing a guy over

Bingo!! I guess Wade Schalles was just lucky so many guys made mistakes against him, considering all of the spladdles he hit in his career......
