I'd say it looks like Sesker will win again this year. I like all his picks expect Gillespie and Askren. But, that's why they wrestle the matches. Can't wait.

Sesker did have Askren over Tamillow, but he just had it in the wrong place.

Journalists didn't see Schlatter losing before the finals LOL

Sesker sucks. He bombed some weights completely
