On the mat or in the street? Either way he would drop you! He is a product of Spanktown, Rahway NJ, Prison City!

DC scored 11 points on Metcalf and he stalled for the whole match? Iowa fans = sore losers

I think Metcalf should have beaten Caldwell. Caldwell is an amazing wrestler, but i think that Metclaf didnt go into the match with his heart wanting to win, figuring since he won last year, he could win again the next no problem.

Are you kidding get-r-done? That is a "strategic move" to fake an injury? That's bull crap. It's just being a wuss, and having to cheat to win. There should be no credit given to this loser.

It is absolutely ridiculous that a wrestler in the NCAA finals would act like the way Darrion Caldwell did. To use the injury time in a manner only to catch your breath and stall the rest of the match is pathetic and dirty. If you are not capable of getting through a D1 match without a fake injury time, you should quit or work harder in practice to improve your conditioning. Furthermore for a wrestler to literally sprint away from your opponent while the match is still going on, is nothing but cowardly. And most shockingly at all, to start flipping around while the match is still on, is y and should have deserved stalling, unsportsmanlike and flagrant misconduct. The only better way that match could have ended was if there was 1 second left and he fell on his back and broke and actually had to use his injury time and then couldn't finish. Congratulations you are the best 149 pounder in the nation, as long as you count pity breaks to catch a breath.

What are you talking about? It was a strategic method. Remember, Caldwell beat Metcalf before. You shouldn't be sore about it. Give the man his damn credit!

Lol. Yeah that was a sissy move. At least continue to pretend you're hurt after the match, dude. It was funny when the Iowa kid pushed him during his gymnastics move and he fell on the ground though. Lol.

Definately the most talented wrestler at the NCAAs. The problem is that he can be rather inconsistent at times and sort of sloppy. But if he can wrestler at his best, he'll rip Metcalf apart again.
