I can't say I have seen any 215 or 275 pound wrestler in the last 4 or 5 years that honestly deserved an OW award. The only exception in my mind might have been Jordan Bedore from Goodland.

Now back quite a few years guys like Matt Vogelsburg and Jeff Boyle, those guys truely deserved it. I won't give an OW award to a 215 or 275 pound wrestler until I see a true takedown such as a single leg or a double leg. and not until I see them do a sit out on bottom or something other than trap the guys elbow and roll over on top of them.

Everyone knows many upper weight matches are boring as they consist of two guys pushing each other around the whole period, I could go on but I think the point was made. Note to heavy wrestlers: If you want to win an OW award, do something to warrant it like have an exciting match not involving a bunch of stalling, or headlocks.
