Congrats Darion, this match wasnt like Rocky, it was Vision Quest. You did it you beat Shoot, and stopped the doubters. You are a class act!!!! Now tell your mother, father, and girlfriend to stop talking about how tough Metcalf is and start talking about Caldwell. As of now he is the man to beat.

This match is like Rocky 4 with Drago! Metcalf is Drago and when he takes a few shots early that will be deftly countered by Caldwell he will return to his corner and say, "He is like a piece of steel" with a very low voice. Then when Metcalf is on the ropes late, he will return to his corner, grab Brands by the neck, lift him off the ground, throw him into the first row of seats, then scream "I wrestle for me....FOR ME!!!" This match is about CHANGE and Caldwell has become the favorite wrestler of EVERY Ohio State fan! IF METCALF CAN CHANGE, AND CALDWELL CAN CHANGE, AND OHIO STATE CAN CHANGE, THEN WE ALL CAN CHANGE!!!!
yeah thats exactly what i think

This is a dangerous match for Metcalf - and he knows it. metcalf is much improved over last year - very difficult to get a takedown on him. If Caldwell can't get him early - it will be tough to beat Metcalf. Really looking forward to this match along with Donohoe - Nickerson.

Ive watched this man play basketball, football, and wrestle for years since hes was competing in the Rahway rec leagues. Hes probably the best all around athlete ive witnessed. When he is focused, the sky is the limit for the guy. Good luck D.C..get em'!!

There is a fitness test that is used to gain perspective on an athletes conditioning status...i cannot say what its called but it combines all aspects of conditioning and based on your time intervals it gives you a number
a perfect score is 100
lance amstrong clo0cked in at 97 just prior to winning his last tour de france
brent metcalf clocked in a 96

The train is comin and Caldwell is standing on the trax...

Honestly, nobody is unbeatable. This could be a very exciting match but I just don't think Caldwell will have the gas tank. Metcalf is as close to as a machine as it gets.

Fluke?   March 21 at 1:34am
Everyone keep saying he got lucky....blah blah blah!! He splaydled Metcalf, anyone see what move he pinned grajales with like 3 matches ago? It's on Flow. That pin was NO fluke. I'm not saying it'll happen again but you bet I'll be rootin' for him.

Fan   March 21 at 1:02am
i know some people may think that caldwell getting teched is a sign of whats to come but believe me that match means very little at this point. he's the type of kid who can be tech falled one day and come back and pin you the next. confidence is always through the roof and he is DANGEROUS. he got lucky against metcalf the first time? when you pin some of the best wrestlers in the nation like he did to palmer and saddoris earlier this year its not called luck, its a HABIT. both wrestlers will be a little nervous but neither one of them is scared
