That rules out everything except gut feelings and talking out of your butt. You didn't really mean that did you?

Because thats what everyone is suggesting...? Youre a bit of a drama queen chop. People have opinions. Some people use past results to reinforce those opinions. Nobody has said anything as definitive as you would suggest they were saying.

It would be unfortunate in my opinion since they have been the most impressive wrestlers at 157 by far this season, but you have to seed consistently and objectively.

I'm vacillating back and forth between picking Fittery or Taylor to win the title, and I'm sure I won't decide until after seeing them at conferences, though neither one will be challenged on their current trajectory.

Hadn't thought about the seeding in thatlight but that is a good point & for me personally, it fits that gut feeling I have had all year that DT would lose in the semis. Now I think I know why.
