i am the 130 pounder @ Manhattan and I've wrestled Wagner off 3 times. The first time i won 5-2. The second time I lost in double o.t. The third time I won 7-1 and then Wagner cut to 125.

Wagner has a unique style of wrestling, and i think it throws off anybody who has wrestled him. He wrestles very conservative and is VERY opportunistic. But he never has taken me down in a wrestle off, and he really banks on the later stages in the match. I think he would win in most double o.t. situations.

Basically, if I got a takedown in the first period, the match really was over. Potter only needs to get one takedown in the first period. Wagner isn't as much of a shooter and probably woudn't get the points back; normally he stalls on his feet and counts on scoring off the bottom and capitalizing off of his opponent's mistakes.

But I'm not sure who the better wrestler is. I've seen matches that Wagner has won that I am sure that Potter wouldn't have, and last weekend I thought Potter would have done better in the finals match that Wagner had against Mancuso. I don't think it matters who has the spot, but it is Potter's senior year, and Wagner is only a sophomore. And Wagner could probably be wrestling 119 based on what he normally weighs on Mondays before practice.
