pmilf103 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 no offense to the big guys, but imo, hwt is almost always the most boring weight class. its very slow and very low scoring. its way too easy to stall and too easy to have fluke matches because its almost always throws and its easy to have a wrestler just get stuck. nothing happens on the mat because most hwts cant carry two of themselves and they just lay flat. too many hwts try to rely on their strength and usually aren't in solid stances. but that's just my opinion.

BiggieD275 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 i am a little bias, some people dont understand how much technique is actually involved in those low scoring matches. and also isnt "sticking" your opponent kind of the point in wrestling, thats probably why a pin scores the most team points. my matches were always exciting to watch in a lot of peoples opinions. "almost always throws", are you kidding me? sorry if you think throws are boring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"almost always throws", are you kidding me? sorry if you think throws are boringits not that throws are boring, but only throws? makes matches really predicatable, kind of takes away the impact of a perfectly executed lat drop to the number one guy in the state, by the number three...you know? if you know its coming, its not nearly as exciting. you can almost predict the outcome of any hwt match, before it even happens. and i dont mean the winner by any means, thats probably the best part about hwt though. it is way less predictable than any other weight class, just because of the sheer size, as mentioned before.also 125 and 119 are shaping up to be strong weights again this year, cant wait to see where everyone ends up at region.

Superior conditioning will take you a long way this sport.Yes, I agree, and that's why I like the weights in the middle, where you have to bring it every time. Every once in awhile you see someone who's fun to watch in those weights at the end. Last year Anthony Bailey was a monster. I just loved how he dominated a match -- had strength, technique, and even speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rebel_wrestler_171 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 i think 160-215 is best, you have a mix of the speed of the lightweight and the strength of the heavyweight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
