Christian PylesHOST
What's the last...
Christian PylesHOST
Final X.
JD RaderHOST
Final X.
Christian PylesHOST
I was at the NWCA convention, but there's no, no matches there.
David BrayGUEST
Yeah.
JD RaderHOST
[laughs]
Christian PylesHOST
Just for fun.
JD RaderHOST
Uh, we, we kind of, you know, really talked about Real Woods, Bo Bassett, and the other Final X wrestle off matches o- on Monday's show, but just touching on them again because, come on, y- you can never talk about it-
Willie SaylorHOST
But, um, Gable released a statement.
Willie SaylorHOST
There's, there's Who's Number One and, and FinalX on tap, which we touched on a little bit.
Willie SaylorHOST
But frankly, it's a slow news week.
Willie SaylorHOST
Other than the Iowa State stuff, um, we're sort of in a lull here waiting for...
Bo BassettGUEST
He has some huge wins.
Bo BassettGUEST
I truly believe if it was him that won that quarterfinal match, He's in Final X, and he's probably going to make the world team.
Bo BassettGUEST
I know that.
Bo BassettGUEST
I think he's that good.
Chance MarstellerGUEST
... that it's a very, um...
Chance MarstellerGUEST
We have a tough system to make a world championship team, right? Um, I've sat at home f- four out of five years I've been in the World Team Trial finals, whether it was Final X or World Team Trials-
Mark BaderHOST
Mm-hmm
Chance MarstellerGUEST
... whichever it was.
Chance MarstellerGUEST
And, you know, each time I've wrestled in Final X or in the World Team Trial finals out of those four times, it's, the other guy was number one in the world, right? It was JB three ti- three different years, and the other one was Levi, and Levi was number one going in this year.
Chance MarstellerGUEST
So it's just, we just have a tough process, man.
Chance MarstellerGUEST
The, the only thing I think when I'm sitting there watching is that, you know- Uh, I just sometimes want a shot, you know? And I had a shot in 2023 and, and kind of blew it.
Mark BaderHOST
I, I was kind of doubting it, right? And, and a awesome comeback.
RalphHOST
Figure that out.
RalphHOST
Uh, 70 kilograms, we've got Final X Point 2, so we're gonna finally final...
RalphHOST
the final, Final X...
RalphHOST
Well, they're not doing Final X anymore, right?
RoyHOST
Right.
RalphHOST
So this is the final, final, Final X that we have.
RoyHOST
Right.
RalphHOST
Right? This is Final X times three.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Let's switch.
Ryan HolmesHOST
And I know you said we would do Final X next, but let's stay in college and talk about the Iowa State news before we get to Final X coming this weekend.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Iowa State news, not so good news, right? They get in trouble.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Specifically, Chris Perry is, I guess, on the hook for this.
15 MINS LATER
Robbie WendellHOST
They hated it.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Absolutely hated it.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Yeah, let's move to Final X.
Ryan HolmesHOST
Final X was this weekend.
Ridge LovettHOST
It was a month after NCAAs, and once I won, I wasn't.
Ridge LovettHOST
in the right training mindset i was doing a lot of other stuff there was a lot of celebrating going on um just kind of threw my hat in the ring at the world team trials ended up third so it was like we were almost there but um really kind of putting the right foot forward stepping into it with the right mindset doing the right things training the right way in preparation for this year jumping up a spot on the national team, made it to Final X, doing all that stuff.
Ridge LovettHOST
Definitely a giant step in the right direction.
Ridge LovettHOST
But it's fun, you know, because not a whole bunch.
JD RaderHOST
And it's a good one.
JD RaderHOST
The Final X Special Wrestle-Offs are finally here.
JD RaderHOST
[laughs]
Christian PylesHOST
Final.
Christian PylesHOST
He has just generally not looked great on...
Christian PylesHOST
But it's just the RAF stage, right? Like, he looked okay at Pan Ams, but he didn't really face anyone.
Christian PylesHOST
So I don't really know if I'm getting that same Real Woods that we got at the US Open and World Team Trials, Final X, and, and the World Championships last year.
Christian PylesHOST
I don't know that.
Justin BaschHOST
I don't envy that.
Justin BaschHOST
All right, Willie, we have a very exciting weekend coming up with Bo Bassett, Real Woods, Final X stuff.
Justin BaschHOST
Who's number one? Before we dive into that, let's dive into all things from this weekend.
Justin BaschHOST
I will give you dealer's choice.
44 MINS LATER
Justin BaschHOST
It's not till after U23 Worlds, October 23rd, I believe, RAF 14.
Justin BaschHOST
So we'll talk more about that.
Justin BaschHOST
Willie, before we talk who's number one because it's who's number one week and it's Final X week, I want to talk about those things quickly because there's not a lot to talk about with Final X.
Justin BaschHOST
But Jaden James did a interview over the weekend with NJ.com and officially announced that he is gray-shirting.
Yianni DiakomihalisGUEST
Um, but I think as I've gotten older, I've gotten better about it.
Yianni DiakomihalisGUEST
Like the way I lost in final X in 2019 and how I handled it compared to how I lost maybe at the Olympic trials are two very different responses, you know?
Mark BaderHOST
Um, yeah, that's, that's really good perspective.
Mark BaderHOST
Um, okay.
8 MINS LATER
Yianni DiakomihalisGUEST
It's just what they need.
Mark BaderHOST
Yeah.
Mark BaderHOST
Going back to kind of looking back at your career, got to talk about Final X 2025.
Mark BaderHOST
And just, you know, you come out and you're else PJ and you win this first match and the second match you're ahead.
