For real. They were hanging on Metcalf’s nuts the entire time. Sorry their golden boy lost to a relatively unknown to them, but people from NJ have been well aware of Caldwell’s insane talent for years.

Caldwell had Metcalf's number. They call it a huge upset, but Caldwell topped him 3 times. Looking back, Metcalf's 2008 was one of the best seasons ever, so the win here was pretty awesome. Great job Darrion!

Kinda like how the wrestling world calling Ramos over Lee as the biggest upset since Gable lost to Owings, yet the first time they wrestled Ramos had a 8-1 lead prior to getting pinned.

@@jessmoore8707 you're exactly right. It's the same as calling someone "disrespectful" for dunking on someone. It's not literal (or at least not entirely). He was saying that Caldwell had some cajones and wasn't wrestling scared. Almost anybody else against Metcalf in this moment of magnitude would probably wrestle timid.

Seems like Metcalf always won by forcing his opponent to wrestle the kind of match he wanted, so he was always able to muscle down and contain him. Caldwell was so much of a loose cannon wildcard that Metcalf's strategy couldn't work, Metcalf was always getting caught off-guard. Nobody expects a single leg shot from 6 feet away, or a headlock hip toss from a routine tie up. Caldwell also had some serious tenacity and funk when it came to takedown defense.

It's funny how the commentator said, " He needs to get up and walk off" after he just won a National Championship? I've seen other(black & white) wrestlers celebrate and nothing was said about their celebrations. Some cried, some ran and hugged their coaches while lifting them in the air, some even walked in a circle waving and so on but I've never heard this mentioned to a wrestler. I followed that season and Metcalf did get him in an earlier match winning with no problem. I believe because of the earlier win he thought he was going to coast it....he was wrong! This shows that you always have to stay on your game, always!!

@@romeldelmundo2584 technically he can still lock as he transitions Caldwell to his butt. However, as soon as he hits his butt and his head is to the side, that is an automatic 2. It's no different than if wrestler has a bodylock behind their opponent and get them to touch their hands to the mat if even for a millisecond.

With the modern 3-point takedown, Caldwell sort of manhandled him

@DavidJohnson-qq9qb 2 күн бұрын

With the neutral danger rule along with the 3-point takedowns though, Metcalf would have scored a 7-point move in the 2nd. With modern college rules, I have the match scored at 14-12 Metcalf (the intentional release at the end would have been unnecessary), and that also excludes any stalling Caldwell could have potentially gotten for holding the ankle or riding below the waist (it was close to a 5 count a few times, but I’m not confident enough to say any points should have been awarded). At the end of a day though, a great match between 2 really talented wrestlers. Caldwell wrestled a really aggressive, smart, and gritty match - very deserving of a national title.
