Mendez can't wait to see you win another NCAA title. Go bro.

[@dangerpowers4582]

Jesse Mendez improved immensely since last year. I mean, he took out Yianni, James Green, Joey Mckenna, and Andrew Alirez, and he almost beat Retherford all within a short span of time. Alirez is ostensibly the only wrestler who stands a chance against him next year at NCAA's.

Damn my boy ankle folded

So ANTIclimactic

[@salvajeasp757]

Two guys who should be competing for team Mexico instead of going thru the USA trials gauntlet every year

[@cardsrock1715]

Match was kind of boring

[@rickyl8111]

We really couldn't get the time and score on the screen?

[@tps55555]

I like defensive wrestling, but that was a sad match. I hope wrestling doesn’t go this way and become soccer.

Alirez looks big, will he bump to 49 this year?

Their names rhyme
