If Zain loses the next 2 bouts to Yanni, he may never again beat him.
The whole rematch thing is a joke where the bout is decided by the biggest whiner and not the wrestler who won, in this case Zain. Anyway, I have complete respect for Yianni but Zain will take care of business and the whole Cornell Cabal can go back home to Ithaca.
While doing my spinning workout I listened to a Flo podcast about this. They confuse me more than bring relevant information. I agree the stakes are high on the outcome but validation of this process only allows for convoluting the matches and leaving it the hands of lawyers.every wrestler has good days and bad days on the mat, so do refs...just leave it on the mat.
Like you suggested about Zain’s ankle. Even if it’s healed he might not be totally mat ready for the rematch.
