"To Buck52, I have seen Sprigg wrestle this year as well as last year. He is good. But i would still take Payne. I watched Sprigg get hammered twice in one tourny last year. I beleive he got stuck and majored at the Classic. "
What "classic' are you referring to? I do not remember these events taking place at Hoxie, Clay Center, Goodland, the JR Durham Invite, Newton, MCL, Regional or Sate. Was it at the Panther Classic?
There is no hwt in Kansas that thrives on the pressure of the moment as does Sprigg. The worst thing that can happen to any hwt that he sees is for the match/tournament to be on the line. Michael often underwhlems people with his wrestling, but he ALWAYS rises to the occasion when it is required.
Sprigg over Payne--and it's not close.
