REscalera 189 Report post Posted September 29, 2017 Zeke gets his first taste of wrestling in the northeast this weekend. Boy what a doozy of a bracket to start the year.

In his last match there's no other way to say it. Heck, I didn't think he looked good the entire tournament but that's ok. It's preseason and his first match since Fargo. He wrestled poorly in his first match, only shot 3 times and lost by 1 to the eventual champ. That's a good nugget for him. 2 years ago Zeke wrestled as good as he could and Cedeno kicked Zeke's butt 6-0 at the Super 32's. So even though Zeke didn't wrestle well against him at Journeymen he was able to pull out a W so that's a good nugget for him too. But in that last match there isn't a nugget to be found and I'm not going to waste time looking for one for the sake of not hurting his feelings. Chalk it up as one of those times you stunk it up and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
