#57	Jay July 25 at 1:12pm Guerrero may be my all time favorite wrestler...extrememly sick technician. Juan, I'm pretty sure Mena couldn't have beat Ironsides so he was stuck at 126. I'm not sure how much he was cutting since he was 118 the previous season. reply
#56	Juan June 25 at 11:28pm Guerrero was such a phenomenal wrestler. Mena might have been more accomplished if he had wrestled up a weight - he always cut so much, that I think that it affected his wrestling reply
#55	Baumgartner June 11 at 10:12pm back in my day at least one of these guys would've had a mustache. probably mena, but i could see guerro with one too reply
#54	Dude June 11 at 2:28pm that match was awesome! reply

#48	Throwya May 24 at 12:04pm please show the 1979 div. 1- 134lb finals. reply
#47	NOT Devaney May 23 at 9:27pm This match is at the colisseum by the stadium. reply
#46	. May 23 at 4:50pm sickk elbow offs by guerrero! reply
#45	Announcers May 23 at 11:06am I agree these guys are a better combo of announcers (the one guy is still there). I like the other guy though. "Ohhh tough move by Mennna!". good stuff. reply
#44	TJ X May 22 at 5:08pm A great match for young guys coming up the ranks on how NOT to sit on your lead. Mena was completely content with a 1-0 lead plus riding ride essentially giving himself a comfortable 2-0 lead. He was also content, once securing that lead, to completely shut down his offense and allow the match to slip away. This reminds me so much of prevent defense in football. If you have a 1-0 or 2-0 lead you damn well better be ATTACKING and BUILDING on that lead or you will lose, period! reply
#43	JJ May 22 at 1:51pm This match takes place at Bob Devaney Sports Center on the University of Nebraksa - LIncoln campus. reply
#42	JCH May 22 at 1:49pm 1. mena was doing the same thing he did the first period, wait for guerrero to shoot/duck and get a front headlock (see it all the time), and after two periods the ref finally noticed it was stalling 2. i guess mena's short offense didnt work this time 3. overall, guerrero is a more dominant wrestler and he showed it again when he beat him in the NCAA finals 4. however cant take anything away from mena, he made it to the finals somehow, right?? reply
#41	Just A Guy May 22 at 12:23pm How bout the McIlravy vs Abas match. I heard Iowa used it as a recruting video for a couple of years. Final score aside in that match, Abas owned him! reply
#40	Better Match May 22 at 11:36am The best match from this dual was Hardell Moore vs. Joe Williams. I was there. Actually, my buddies and I walked in right as Mena was getting slapped in the face by Gable before this match, and we were like "Oh hell yeah." reply
#39	Lincoln NE May 22 at 11:13am That match was in Lincoln NE at the Coliseum. Not a dual in Stillwater, OK. reply
#38	Tommy May 22 at 9:56am Guys, how was that good? Mena stalled the entire match. I hate when Americans think that wrestling like that is "good". It is terrible. Guerrero at least attacked and tried to get to his shots. Mena wrestled like he always did - no game plan, no attack, trying to hold on for a win. reply
#37	Twilly May 22 at 8:22am good stuff. There are dozens of Iowa vs. Okie st matches from the 90's that could be on here. reply
#36	RR May 22 at 7:51am Great 2nd period by Mena, better 3rd by Guerrero. reply
#35	New Jersey May 22 at 6:56am That was about as good as it gets. reply
#34	DC May 21 at 9:47pm I loved it reply
#33	Jason Elders May 21 at 7:48pm When Guerrero hit Mena with stalling after the match that reminded me of when Ben Askren hit the Iowa kid, Gable and the Iowa crowd for stalling a couple years ago! reply
#32	E. G. Fan May 21 at 5:20pm Eric was intense the whole match. Nice. Mena stopped after he was taken down. there was enough time for a 1 pt escape at lease. WOW. reply
#31	Jimbo May 21 at 5:05pm Mena may have tried to ride out the 3rd, but Guerrero sure knew how to find the out of bounds line any time Mena went on the offense in the 1st. reply
#30	Z Clemente May 21 at 5:00pm that was a sickkk last period omg reply
#29	Anonymous Coward May 21 at 4:46pm haha, great at the end when Guerrero points at Mena and calls him out for stalling...freakin awesome. reply
#28	Luvtosplooge May 21 at 3:53pm Mena is huge for 126 reply
#27	Anonymous Coward May 21 at 3:03pm great match by guerrero reply
#26	Anonymous Coward May 21 at 2:47pm Mena just gave up... ... he deserved to lose reply
#25	Iowa Fan (who Isn't) May 21 at 2:29pm Whay is anyone argueing anything? It's obvious that Mena was trying to hold on to a 2 pt lead in the 3rd instead of going aggressive. Because of that, he lost. I mean Guerrero went after him, and won. Enough said. reply
#24	Jbeshada May 21 at 2:26pm awesome match, 1st i dont believe mena was really stalling, he was doing what he needed to do to win the match. He prob knew he wasnt gonna beat guererro on their feet. 2nd Guererro is one of my fav wrestlers of all time and really earned this match, awesome. 3rd is it just me or does the commentary back then seem 100x better than it is today? reply
#23	Iowa Fan (who Isn't) May 21 at 2:09pm Have most of the other matches from this meet and wanted this one... THANK YOU Cliff!!! reply
#22	Billup May 21 at 2:00pm Mena rides like a beast, but he real seemed to have nothing at all on his feet, Guererro pushed the action the entire time reply
#21	Beast May 21 at 1:46pm mena rode hard..great match..guerrero was relentless..i like it reply
#20	Matt Russo May 21 at 1:43pm Sean Dunn said: “I thought Mena was backing up for much of the match(and almost the whole 3rd period). I liked Guerrero in this match. He seemed to be working forward the whole time trying to score.” yeah, definately. Iowa didnt really capitalize stopping Guerrero. he had tons of oppurtunities for a re-shoot and blew it. oh well. reply
#19	PAProud May 21 at 1:41pm You would have to be a real Hawk Homer to say Guerrero was stalling in the 2nd, since Mena didnt do anything on top except stall. Sometimes I wonder if Hawk fans are just really really sarcastic with the comments they make, because they pull off sounding 100% stupid 99% of the time. reply
#18	Patrick Manning May 21 at 1:24pm Your videos don't load very well making it almost impossible to watch. I finally just shut it off. reply
#17	Sean Dunn May 21 at 1:21pm I thought Mena was backing up for much of the match(and almost the whole 3rd period). I liked Guerrero in this match. He seemed to be working forward the whole time trying to score. reply
#16	Jmac May 21 at 1:20pm look how intense mena is at the start of the 3rd, wow! reply
#15	BHS Wrestling May 21 at 12:55pm wow. great match. reply
#14	Cowboy May 21 at 12:38pm maybe next week you can show a match with two guys trying to score points reply
#13	Sean Dunn May 21 at 12:25pm Hawk57 said: “Guerrero should have been hit for stalling on bottom!!!!!!!” Based on what? He seemed to working up pretty much the whole time. Plus he needed that point. So I am not really seeing it. reply
#12	Cliff Fretwell May 21 at 12:21pm Craig check you inbox! reply
#11	Craig Vitagliano May 21 at 12:09pm Totally stealing my thunder, Cliff. hahaha reply
#10	Ben Gasser May 21 at 12:07pm Magnificent, I LOVE FLOWRESTLING reply
#9	Gawrestlingfan May 21 at 11:51am the match thats on deck at this dual doesnt sound like a bad one either fret. Ironside is a beast reply
#8	Real Deal May 21 at 11:46am This is great stuff, like the matches that have the announcing that goes along with it. I agree Brands, McIlravy , Ryan reply
#7	Hawk57 May 21 at 11:44am Guerrero should have been hit for stalling on bottom!!!!!!! reply
#6	Pulled Pork May 21 at 11:43am Excellent match!!!!! reply
#5	May 21 at 11:33am Isn't there some type of copyright infringement by posting this? It's right off the old VHS I had to buy. Sweet match though. reply
#4	Ed The Doober May 21 at 11:14am Cliff these matches are great. Keep up the good work. reply
#3	Nick Vaughan May 21 at 11:14am Awesome match... maybe next week something with McIlravy or one of the Brands? reply
#2	TJ May 21 at 11:10am Eric Guerrero may be my favorite wrestler of all time. Absolute stud. reply
#1	Cliff Fretwell May 21 at 11:07am I knew it would be real hard to top last weeks match, but I have some good ones I'm working on tracking down. Thanks for the suggestions on matches. Some are going to be real hard to find but I will do what I can to track them down. reply

Mike Mena

126lbs Mike Mena vs Eric Guerrero - 1997 University of Nebraksa - LIncoln

May 21, 2009

Great battle between two now very high profile head assistant coaches Guerrero at Okie State and Mena at Indiana. Guerrero AA’ing as a true freshman coming into this match undefeated as a sophomore battling 2nd year senior and 4 time AA Mike Mena at the Iowa vs. Okie state dual in Stillwater Oklahoma. They later met in the NCAA finals with Guerrero winning in OT.
