    When Crookham first beat Vito I was like "whatever, was prolly a fluke. the loss vito needed" But now...I know hes legit for real now. Imagine beating a World Champ 2x. What a stud...

    People think crookham came out of nowhere but he was a 3 time Pennsylvania state champion in hs, the only reason people might have not heard of him was because he didn’t compete in national tournaments junior/senior year due to covid and injury, but he was a top recruit and it’s not surprising he’s this successful

    Hats off to Crookham to beat Vito not once but twice! That said as any wrestler knows some styles just have trouble with others, and I think Brooklyn's style along with his strength is not a good matchup for Vito. However i think Crookhams style plays into Dayton Fixs strengths too so Nationals will be really interesting and the seeds and bracket postion will huge fof this weight! And just like someone else said remember Carr beat Otoole twice then lost in the Natty Finals, so we will see. Great wim tho and repect too how based Crookham is!

    It's it just me or should there been 3 stalling calls. Sorry for everyone who likes folkstyle but when you don't move forward the whole match and play the edge you should get dinged.

    Maybe Vito winning the US OPEN, the Mini Tournament, Final
    X, then going on to win the World Championships was just a few total fluke weekends. 😏

    Why would anyone high caliber wrestle for Cornell?!?! It’s completely up to the individual to push themselves at a non-wrestling school.

    Crookham got really lucky twice, no way it will happen a 3 rd time, especially at Nationals when stalling is called faster
