Seeing how Wrestling is one of the most popular bases in MMA, i thought that it would be goof if i started a thread that would allow for people to understand and follow the storylines and techniques at the highest level collegiate and international level competition. I will create a Ranking system and give scouting reports of the top 10 guys at each weight class and provide updated weekly rankings every Monday. The first event i'm covering is NWCA National dual finals between Iowa and Missouri.

*That wasn't Kaya, my knowledge of the depth chart at 65 KG for Turkey isn't that great so I default to Kaya. Also Kaya beat Novachkov in the finals.
