I’m glad that NCAA Wrestling is posting these old matches in better quality and including post- match interviews.

[@danielzhang9687]

It’s interesting to see how different wrestling was

[@rng_x3william178]

As coach brands said “if my whole wrestling team was Brent metcalf’s, I’d have the easiest job in the world”

[@maliklowry1236]

Back when Iowa had several finalist every year.

[@pablodvsa7546]

Good to see Palmer doing well in life and combat sports.

[@Aaron-cy6pu]

Is he in the mma world?

[@wrestlingscience]

Aaron C think so

[@pablodvsa7546]

Aaron C yeah he’s winning 1 million dollar tournaments at pfl

[@Garrett1240]

@@wrestlingscience You guys serious? He's probably the best fighter on the PFL's roster.

​@@Garrett1240Caldwell tough fighter two both beat him

[@poolboyinla]

2 studs.

[@Garrett1240]

You wrestled? Didn't expect to see you comment here.

[@SaltyArmy]

Ole Okie Watson yeah Travis wrestled somewhere in one of the Dakota States if I’m not mistaken.

[@ElearningDigest]

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Dang.

[@danielchen3545]

Feel the same way. Metcalf was one of my wrestling idols and role models growing up.

[@user-cq6dg6ql9j]

Lance Palmer is one of the best wrestlers I’ve seen to not win an NCAA crown. Sam Hazewinkel and Nick Simmons are two others that come to mind. Some guys always find themselves in the tournament’s toughest brackets year in and year out.

Upload j jaggers vs ryan William's 2010 141lbs please

[@alexubarnett]

Damn dudes got some massive shoulders

[@InternetMunchies]

Metcalf choosing neutral shows super respect for palmer's top game, and jesus christ call stalling in the 3rd

[@anthonydelgrosso4818]

Brent was actually mad about that it was coaches decision

[@greatstate58]

Love the wrestling vids!

[@nitrox1613]

I’m an Ohio state fan but dang osu wrestlers seem not to do the best in the NCAA tournament . Martin, McKenna, NATO, Keshawn Hayes, Teshan Campbell, Micah Jordan, Bo Jordan, Moore, Elijah cleary. Synder is an exception.

[@tynastyy]

steiber is an exception as well

[@nitrox1613]

Tyler Deen yea

[@seongminyu4700]

I mean nato atleast got 1 title though

[@nitrox1613]

seongmin yu you are right

[@xenonmaster6668]

Martin upset bo Nickal who was the 1 seed as an 11 seed in the 2016 finals

[@solomoncooper6491]

Mark Bell power podcast brought me here 💪🏾

[@daricklapaglia4337]

He fucked his knee up on that low leg finish right off the bat

[@slashnagy6]

As someone born in Ohio and an NC State student, I was so proud when Caldwell whooped him.

[@buckeyesmith782]

Did Palmer show up for his second place award?

[@elijahrogers4332]

Hahaha good one 😂

[@williamoleary9330]

Having seen Zain wrestle and trying to score bonus points makes me not appreciate Metcalf as much as I used too.
This from a Hawks fan

[@cannonhall3329]

You must not have watched Metcalf then lol. The only reason he didnt pour it on Lance here is because his knee was messed up

[@scott729]

@@cannonhall3329 you're high

[@znhait]

It's mostly a program thing. Nolf, Nickal, Cenzo, and even Hall got thrown to their backs. That's because they usually go big. Then again, maybe it's the types of wrestlers. Penn St. currently has a lot of good wrestlers who will never put up major bonus points.

[@n.h6001]

Zain had easier competition than Metcalf did in his title runs. 2008 149 bracket is considered the toughest of all time and Metcalf won it

[@anthonydelgrosso4818]

Metcalf would destroy Sorenson who beat Zain gmab

[@number3stunner118]

I might seriously be on the road to Alzheimer's. I watched this match with some curiosity - not only forgetting that I'd seen it many years ago, but also not realizing, until the post-match interview that I just watched it earlier this week.
Also, what was the deal with Metcalf's time in college? Did he just choose not to stick around for another year, or did he wrestle all four years? I thought he would've had more than 2 titles based on the way they were saying, in the '09 finals, that his only college loss was to Caldwell (up to that point).

[@joeblow1937]

Its good stuff......

[@elvis6855]

We want more wrestling videos!

[@RNoble04]

What a terrible first question by the interviewer. Was it even a question? Jeez basically making Brent freestyle the interview with nothing to feed off of, literally one minute after wrestling for a national championship. Shame on that dude

[@ryan-xj4hr]

Palmer should have been in a boy band. Metcalf shouldn't have been teabagged at the trials.

[@martinezjames83]

Metcalf owns Palmer💪💪

[@dzenisalickovic5868]

imagine losing due to a coin flip

[@davidcollins897]

Palmer lost because he got taken down and never answered with a takedown of his own.

[@justintime519]

He lost because Metcalf had over a minute of riding time

[@helencoe7839]

Damn all Metcalf does is stall he should of been penalized for that palmer won the match

[@buckeyesmith782]

Stalling is a BS call 99.9% of the time.

[@jasonhogan9320]

Palmer literally didn’t do anything on his feet. It’s his fault for not attacking and pushing the issue

[@tyroner5141]

He took more shots than Palmer did

[@John-qi9cj]

Holding the center, handfighting, shooting, pressing forward isnt stalling

[@muzzyjk]

its been 10 years and youre still lying to yourself
