Hendrickson is headed back to Final X.
Watched A LOT of wrestling yesterday! Wyatt is such an awesome champ! Pinned the dude that beat the dude that upset Mason Parris…counts as a win against Parris, right??? Anyway, congrats to Hendrickson for just being the boss of the US Open these past two years. I hope he takes this same hard and fast mentality into Final X and the Worlds and becomes the world champ we all know he can be. Dustin Plott is gonna get on a world team in the next couple of years, guys. This guy has jumped freestyle levels this year and looks like a brute! Machiavello is a monster in there and if Plott had 5 more seconds…Man. Really proud of Plott. Probably one of my favorite all time Cowboy wrestlers. Sucks for McKenna to get caught up in the Bo Bassett machine in the first takedown. That looked so freaking painful on his knee. He’ll be back. He’s a stud. Took care of Mendez in the semis. And I have to reiterate, if you’re a Cowboy wrestling fan, see if you can watch Amine beat Carr. It’s amazing.
Now for the younger guys! Landon’s a stud who had an awesome match in the round of 16 where a guy looked like he had his number going up 4-0 on the middle weight champ. Then Landon showed May awareness, focus and strength of character, switching his tactics and beat the kid 14-4 still in the first period. This guy is a DAWG. Ronnie and Kody also looked good. DreShaun does Dreshaun things. Dude is untouchable at this level of competition so far, it’s nuts. But here’s the scoop: Ladd Holman is a BRUTE! We’re gonna love this kid. He had a throw from the ground with his arms wrapped around another big guys shoulders that was wild. The past, present and future of Cowboy wrestling looks pretty sweet everyone! Go Pokes!
