Mendez can't wait to see you win another NCAA title. Go bro.

When I see him I’ll say Billy said what’s up

[@rickyl8111]

We really couldn't get the time and score on the screen?

[@dangerpowers4582]

Jesse Mendez improved immensely since last year. I mean, he took out Yianni, James Green, Joey Mckenna, and Andrew Alirez, and he almost beat Retherford all within a short span of time. Alirez is ostensibly the only wrestler who stands a chance against him next year at NCAA's.

Damn my boy ankle folded

Language

[@sanjosesteve]

From what I observed, without the benefit of commentary or a scoreboard, was the referee decided this match. Until Alirez made that last desperate attempt, all points were awarded by the ref. I will bet Alirez wins in collegiate matchups.

I like defensive wrestling, but that was a sad match. I hope wrestling doesn’t go this way and become soccer.

[@ezikelu]

Alirez looks big, will he bump to 49 this year?

[@salvajeasp757]

Two guys who should be competing for team Mexico instead of going thru the USA trials gauntlet every year

[@ERA_WWE]

What about wwe?

[@cardsrock1715]

Match was kind of boring

[@sshhhhh9227]

I’m ankle picking you Thursday at practice randomly watch

[@gunthur696]

So ANTIclimactic

[@SethJonesJr-8108]

imagine losing to a guy 3 years younger than you who’s been in college two years and you’ve been in college seven years and you lose a match in a style you took a year off to train and flo still gives Alirez the number one ranking literally the dumbest thing ever😂😂

[@ClarenceWalker-l3t]

Gucci say he ass boxing
