thanks for starting this topic. Egos will be in play. If NCS sits a bunch of guys do they show us that they will still wrestle with backups? It's a home and heated dual for them, they will want to stomp us in front of the home crowd. They would not want a loss as everyone would say the reg season title is tainted. Also whatever happens both teams have 2 weeks to recover. I think its possible they have a starter or backup when they announce lineups. For example if they win 25, 41, 49, and 57, I think they could sit a Hidlay, probably Hayden. I doubt HH wants to sit after getting decked in his final home conference dual (only loss of an awesome career in conference). I'm sure they would have a ton of confidence at 84 and 97 and that is all they would need to win. I think we will put our lineup out...seems like the staff wanted this as a test for making weight close together to simulate the tournament some. Do you all think we will start at 25? I think strategically we have won the battle where you get off to a start and finish strong. If I recall correctly, we started at 49 a few years ago with a BA pin and finishing with a Mitch beatdown of Tariq. Last year Korbin blew the doors off, and ended with Sam's heroics. I can't recall if I'm remembering this correctly but I think its accurate. Anyway, I did not answer a lot of questions just posed more. LOL. Hoping it a great dual as it should be the best most intense one of the year.
