Darrion Caldwell v. Brent Metcalf 2009 NCAA Wrestling Finals (vid. 1 of 3)

[49fortyniners]

no fucking duh people that caldwell had no respect at all for Metcalf. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

[Tigerspride42]

What a dumb ass comment he has trouble with black people ur such a close minded pussie I bet anything your a weakass wrestler and u probobly never one a match or never even wrestled wack ass

[Tigerspride42]

Right off the fuckin bat he starts whooping his aas like I said metcalf sucks that's how you do it Caldwell

[FakeAssGangmembers]

my fucking hero Darrion Caldwell

[MoistKiwiGames]

I met Darrion yesterday at his "Tough On Top" clinic at Santiago High School in El Cerrito California :) he's really funny

[HDFloppie]

Sick, Best Match Ive Seen In Awhile

[muley7and52]

too bad caldwell couldn't have stuck him with that headlock, that thing was tight

[razaviknows]

fuck caldwell

[wareaglemtn]

What the hell is rascitism? Some kind of rastafarien baptism???

[FakeAssGangmembers]

wow my comment is stil up here

[horrk734]

disrespected at :43 hahahhaha



[Kretz719]

Caldwell's drop single at the beginning blew my mind

[Poche676]

You should see this inspiring NCAA match. It really is something to see!

[Nickthemonkey08]

I love the throw at 0:42 the entire crowd was in awe!

[kbnastyman]

someone needs to make a movie about this,,,,,it would be about wrestling...and this match would be at the end...that would be awsome

[firstdaddy]

The thing that I really love about this match is Caldwell's absolute lack of respect for Metcalf's history and accomplishments. He came into the match and showed him no respect. Caldwell came to wrestle and didn't care who he was facing. That headlock was one of the ultimate displays of disrespect I've ever seen in the finials. I absolutely loved it. I just love it when a guy is willing to put it on the line and take it to another guy. That's the heart of a true warrior.

[enjoi223]

Thats the first successful head and arm ive seen beyond a jv meet in high school

[laztothelow]

Head & Arm! hahaha

[joejitsu13]

Fuck what everyone says these guys are both amazing athletes and this match wasn't a fluke

[idropbombes]

A lot of u guys on here are some ignorant racist motherfuckers, let me tell you. I'm black and i wrestle and i look up to guys like Caldwell, and i can see so much hatred in some of these posts on here. Its kinda sad to be honest. Being good at wrestling is not determined by your skin color but your work ethic...

[Ur1nalCakeUmm]

@idropbombes but it does doe.. Darrion Caldwell put the team on his BACK DOE!!!

[kbnastyman]

@idropbombes thats what its all about....working hard

[olaogung09]

To me the most exciting 30 seconds in wrestling history

[albertlouisher]

anybody can be good at wrestling as long as you work hard no matter what race

[daysbleedtonight32]

Im glad to see caldwell is still doin big things. I used to see him around at tournaments all the time in NJ. i wrestled and graduated 05 so i saw him around a lot. He was like a 3 time state champ or something. Not much you can do against metcalf tho, that dude is just a straight up beast. strong as shit. Gotta root for the NJ natives tho

[busick24]

true statement. there are not many black wrestlers, but just about every black wrestler you see is good. you HAVE to be dedicated to wrestle, therefore anyone who wrestles (black or white), has to work hard.

[hu8b8]

Look at that cross face 1:44 damn! lol

[bruceleroyjones1]

There is a book that one can obtain in any book store - the title is Talent is Overrated. and it states that talent is is developed thru deliberate practice what one has to do to become the best @ what he or she does. Mozart was a beast @ what he did because of his daddy - his father was a famous composer the same might true for these ttwo great wrestlers it takes practice practice practice

[imumfo]

/watch?v=XXO5WeOfGiM DWARF WRESTLER WHO IS RANKED NATIONALLY LOSES!

[Yetty1]

This announcer would blow Metalf if he could.

[7bush7]

@Yetty1 i would too

[Weightliftingfreak]

@Yetty1 lmao, yeah their biased as fuck.

[gleetron]

i've never once seen someone ride out metcalf like that. amazing!

[colossalko]

what peple dont realize is that caldwell is so flexible that metcalf wouldn't take him down no matter how close he got.

[SuperTEK49]

Caldwell Is awsome MY coach coach him in high school when he won his 3rd year in arrow

[ibanezrgseries13]

And to add insult to injury Metcalf gets headthrown hahaha. I actually really like Metcalf. I met him at the Camp of Champions this summer and he was really great, but im not big on Iowa so i was kind of excited when i found out that he actually lost in the NCAA Finals.

[wondertwins46]

haha wow he just headlock a national champ....

[wesleyt105]

they are both great, nuff said. Caldwell was better that day, but we never got the rematch the next year so who knows.

[borednessislife]

man... his reflexes to that whistle at 4:01 is insane, haha.

[lleminx]

im in wrestiling in high school anyone got a good walk out song?

[jrod4592]

@lleminx slither by velvet revolver

[TheInebriatedmonkey]

@lleminx Bad Company by Five Finger Death Punch, thats what we come out to

[bruceleroyjones1]

@lleminx  yeah welcome to the terror dome public enemy

[SoberAllmanBrosFan]

Afterward, Caldwell thanked God!

All you atheists, you wonder why guys like him achieve a level of success you can't even comprehend?

The answer is God

[Marine184]

@SoberAllmanBrosFan right on bro

[DelbertDUHH]

@SoberAllmanBrosFan oh stfu. caldwell did it by himself, your god wasnt the one in the wrestling room getting the shit beat of out him and wasnt the one that won this match, its caldwell. he did it himself, dont take his credit away and give it to some imaginary figure.

[SoberAllmanBrosFan]

@DelbertDUHH CALDWELL gave the credit to God! Jason Ness di the same! I suppose you're calling him a liar?! How many national championships have you won? In which division do you wrestle? What are you successes? Are you surprised at all the athletes who pray and give credit to God for their success? I think these great people know something or recognize something you dont. It's okay, I once said the crap you did, when I was a sarcastic high school punk. The evidence is in the video!

[TheInebriatedmonkey]

@DelbertDUHH yeah cladwell was the one who gave credit to god, and he probly thanked Him for giving him strength. dont be a dick

[hempaw]

WOZZA wozzaw ozaaawakakwakawakawakaw

[grif619]

I;m a huge Metcalf fan, but Caldwell screwed him up in this match. I also dont like Caldwell, so thats really saying something.

[thomasmgill1]

This is what happens when Melcalf can't severely outwork his opponent

[mikemarc92]

First of all you are WRONG again. I am black. Secondly im talking about pure facts, research, ...the truth. There is nothing suspect about that. Let me provide an example. While researching my thesis I, along with other top medical students from around the country, examined two star football players that attended Michigan U and had gone on to play in the nfl. Both players were 6'2 256 lbs. However when we examined their tissue, twitch fibers, muscle genetics etc..the differences were vast.

[jessdoggx]

Minorities are way better at everything than white people, the problem is that we just don't get the same opportunities...No worries, eventually we do get those opportunities and this is what happends, the WHITES get humilliated (with style). Whites, be afraid, for I know U can feel your time has almost come.

[jessdoggx]

Darrion Caldwell...GREATEST WRESTLER EVER! HE IS AWSOME, JUST AWSOME. Brent Metcalf on the other hand, not only was he humiliated, but what a sore loser! I knew Metcalf would loose. White people better get used to loosing, LOL!

[keyairus]

Darrion Was Takin It Too MetCalf !!!!

[DrunkPerson]

black ppl are genetically superior

[JesusManson323]

@DrunkPerson black people are genetically human

[Born2Fight4Life]

Also another, question.. is any submission hold alowhere in this type of wrestling? if so whats this type of wrestlign called, i bet its freestyle wrestling, thus I could be wrong..

[JesusManson323]

@Born2Fight4Life No "submission" holds in Folkstyle (High School and College) and Freestyle/Greco-Roman. The only "submission" is when you hold your opponent's should blades to the mat for a set period and the referee ends the match "win by pin/fall".

[Born2Fight4Life]

what kind of Wrestling Style do they use in the NCAA, and what is Freestyle Wrestling's Rules & and Diffrences compared to folkstyle, Greco Roman, Catch can wrestlign etc...Please answer, thanks in advance

[JesusManson323]

This is the best wrestling match I have ever seen.

[theboogeiman713]

@JesusManson323 lol why wood u watch this shyt its all FAKE

[TrenchStormer]

blacks are to wrestling as whites are to basketball

neither have a disadvantage or advantage, just each sport is more dominated by a certain race

[mikemarc92]

@TrenchStormer no blacks definately have the advantage in all sports basketball, football etc. they just are genetically better...

[CarlosStephenPR]

@mikemarc92 I doubt what you saying. It might be true that some people have natural talent.. But remember, hard work will always beat talent

[mikemarc92]

@CarlosStephenPR what do you mean you doubt what im saying? its not a matter of opinion its a fact. it goes back to when blacks were slaves in our country doing all that field work in shit. its genetics that have been passed down. research proves they are stronger and have faster twitch fibers than whites meaning they're faster.ust look at the nfl, mlb, nba etc.

[CarlosStephenPR]

@mikemarc92 It dont matter how talented a person seems to be. If another person is working harder than the person with talent, the person that works harder will always win. Thats what I meant when I said that hard work beats talent

[JesusManson323]

@mikemarc92 It's not genetic. It's "social opportunities". Blacks work harder at sports because that's one of the few outlets where they are allowed to succeed fully. Whites know they can be immersed in a White-dominant business world, politics, media, etc. Sports is not the only option for Whites. Blacks are just hungrier because of the lack of other options. Plenty of White awesome athletes to prove it aint genetics.

[mikemarc92]

@JesusManson323 stop being nieve, for you to say that blacks dont have better genetics than whites is just stupid, and shows your lack of intelligence...clearly you arent informed on the matter. I'm an athletic trainer at Michigan University, and I had to write my thesis on this subject. (I've done my research). While I agree with your point about whites having more oppertunites, your statement as a whole is incorrect.

[JesusManson323]

@mikemarc92 Th "Blacks genetics" thing is a rationalization for White guys (such as yourself) to justify a result. I can show you plenty of Blacks who SUCK at sports and plenty of Whites who are awesome at sports. Was there in a section in your thesis about "Jewish skulls and their correlation to banking fraud", too? There is indeed a "Black success" result. But your ideas of its causes as genetics-first is very suspect. Similar statements were made to once justify slavery.

[bjjforlifemttosurviv]

Always gotta pull the race card. Give it up loser!

[CarlosStephenPR]

true wrestlers

[WillGobx]

I know Darion Caldwell and that cartwheel at the end he said to me he hasn't ever done a flip or cartwheel like that before it was just adreniline

[FakeAssGangmembers]

im glad that none of these comments have any rascitism in them.. b/c iv seen comments sayin that we blacks are not good wrestlers, we are if we work hard like Darrion its just that theres more whites that wrestle

[arad412]

@FakeAssGangmembers haha not to be racist but ive wrestled black guys and most of them were fish but the ones who werent were really good and had some tough matches plus mostly the only ppl who wrestle are whites and blacks

[FakeAssGangmembers]

@arad412 hahaha iv wrestled blacks that r fish 2 lol noobs

[Y2jandMannyR4life]

@FakeAssGangmembers anyone no matter what race can be good at a sport if they work at it.

[FakeAssGangmembers]

@Y2jandMannyR4life yes true true ur right

[haloabc1234]

@FakeAssGangmembers It's "racism" (sorry about being a douche there)

but I totally agree with you. It's all about interest. You see more white people wrestling b/c it's a sport that more white people like (in the US). Watch the Olympics sometime and you'll see lots of black people doing amazing. Same goes for basketball. Watch a tiny little white country called Lithuania destroy the USA dream team a couple of years back. Great athletes come from all races.

[Rhymenosauros]

@FakeAssGangmembers you guys are ridiculously strong, not to try and sound racist but i hate wrestling black people cuz they are too damn strong

[FakeAssGangmembers]

@Rhymenosauros hahah tell u the truth i hate wretling blacks also i like wrestling the nooby ones where they squirm haha but there always ripped and u can get caught in sumthing if ur not carefull haha but yea i hate wrestling blacks

[mark9455]

@FakeAssGangmembers bullshit, next time someone says blacks arent good about wreslting, ask them about darrion caldwell, jordan burroughs, kenny monday, bubba jenkins, etc.

[FakeAssGangmembers]

@mark9455 YA i no iv seen comments like that tho and it pisses me off

[xC00KIEBEASTx]

@FakeAssGangmembers the only problem i have with wrestling black people is most of them stink. i like black people, but thats just nasty.

[littlecow44]

@FakeAssGangmembers: sounds racist against whites, but in general, the black people i wrestle are better wrestlers...

[MMAfighter1555]

@littlecow44 its probably just their strength, and athletecism, what weight do you wrestle, and do you use more technique or strenght? If you try to outmuscle a more conditioned, strong athelete you will lose every time. Either that, or you are intimidated so you think they will be better, and end up wrestling like shit because of it. Metcalf knows how you feel, he always has trouble with black people.

[JesusManson323]

I wish I could say I was in the crowd for this epic match.

Holy cow. This was history.

[hpssoni]

This is a terrific match .. also proves that wrestling is as much about taking the psychological advantage as it is about physical superiority and making your component submit. These are two amazing athletes. Good job by Caldwell ... and Metcalf. Thanks for posting these great video - takes me back to my younger days when I was wrestling.

[pthompson2010]

it takes something unique to compete on the world stage, I hope metcalf does well, but I think caldwell has a better chance against international competition. Our wrestlers always seem to get intimidated as competition gets better, and they stop doing the things that worked for them in college and highschool. Caldwells cockiness (confidence) could do well for him, Not a lot of guys would have attempted that head and arm against a guy with Metcalf reputation, which is why people don't beat him

[bhswrestling130]

where can we watch the rest of the finals matches?

[lukemdizzle]

hed do backflips when he won a big match in high school too

[lukemdizzle]

when I was a freshmen I watched Caldwell wrestle in state finals. he would hold out his leg to taunt the other kid and when the other kid shot hed literally do a 360 and get 2. I would call it cocky if it wasn't so dam incredible. Caldwell is an amazing wrestler and deserves to show off a little hes just that good

[ScottMinos]

Calwell is no champion - it takes more than winning a match to be a champion. His attitude overall and his antics after he won show he is nothing but a punk ass boy.

[yellowboisrule23]

how the fuck is he no champion and the other dude pushed him because he got his ass whooped that dont mean shit because he did backfilps who wouldn't if they won , you just a bitch because he black

[toolmantooltime]

moron

[toolmantooltime]

Don't hate because you're butt hurt over metcalfs beatdown. Metcalfs a puke with the after the whistle shove and all IMO

[lucasgaeth]

@toolmantooltime your a douchebag that can't recognize skill. both wrestlers are amazing. you don't have to hate on Metcalf or his fans because he is very very skilled.

[toolmantooltime]

@lucasgaeth alot of people think Metcalf is a puke with his after the whistle tactics. wrestling after the whistle has nothing to do with skill crybaby

[DevinDJ88DX]

they should make a video game of this type of wrestling

[knanri14X]

@DevinDJ88DX i agree soo damn much

[bjjartist]

@DevinDJ88DX that'd be cool. Ur a walk-on freshman and you have to start then win national title sometime throughout ur college career. Great idea.

[FakeAssGangmembers]

@DevinDJ88DX I NOOOOOOOO

[Hoyboy1211]

@DevinDJ88DX it would be impossible wrestling is fully a mental sport there is no way a game could be made

[xlux041]

@DevinDJ88DX wrestling is toooo much for a controller

[cdeez005]

@DevinDJ88DX ha that would be awesome wouldn't it? A couple years back i sent a letter to ea sports with the idea of the game and i sent in like 10 pages on how i would want the game to be and controls and everything....i never got anything sent back but its a good idea

[DevinDJ88DX]

@cdeez005 i love your idea i wrestle in high school this year going to be my second year

[IsntHeThat0neGuy]

That head & arm was SO EPIC lol. That's what happens when you commit to a move and follow through!

[iammrchubbsful]

haha i don't hate metcalf or anything but i could watch that headlock a hundred times. i still don't expect it to happen

[wolfpackfan23]

Let's see a gay prep from tar hole country come fight Caldwell

[kbradl16]

That head lock only works if you know how to scramble like Caldwell does

[kbnastyman]

i have to say that was a great match.

[JamessMMA]

headlocks work at all levels if your good at them, just like anything else, IT FUCKING WORKED IN THIS MATCH

[AAAlonte]

@JamessMMA yeah and plus it worked because i bet that was going through the mind of brent metcalf because he obviously got caught off guard from that

[italianmoney123321]

why would he get hedlocked in colledge wrestling

[beaverwrestling09]

why would he go for a headlock in college wrestling???

[vikingfan1992]

its the ncaa finals what does he have to lose

[laughingCody12]

i love caldwell's crossface

[Just1nFR]

@laughingCody12 Surprise he used one worst fucking move ever invented.

[blazemanning]

all yall shut up get a life

[haloabc1234]

wicked crossface~!

[vansrider13]

Caldwell deserved it.You dont do that after a victory,you just get your hand raised and walk off the mat.

[mindfreak305]

ohh shut up you sore loser

[skatephilly2]

thats bullshit man acting like after you won a ncca final( which you wont) you wouldnt celebrate

[SherlockH33]

I would love to know what is legal and illegal, I do BJJ and there are so many opportunities to reverse and be able to get out of those positions.

[TheUSDeltaForce]

ya but the object is to stay off of your back.

[SherlockH33]

I will have to try some of my moves out on some wrestlers from school. I never practiced because it was a waste of time, two completely different styles.

[TheUSDeltaForce]

ya, but i myself practice some jiu-jitsu and its not that hard to transition from style to style its just taking time from one to get better at the other

[bjjartist]

true but wrestlers panic on the bottom and stall in closed guard in BJJ tournaments(at least the 1st six months of their training) which is the most annoying thing ever. Wrestlers do have very good top games in gernal though.

[TheUSDeltaForce]

a lot of it is if someone can stay calm and be comfortable on their back

[bjjartist]

true. the BJJ guy must be comfortable on his back and have a decent guard. thats my point. wrestlers stall because they dont want to be swept and they arent comfortable on their backs just yet. And they havent taken the time to learn the defenses to basic BJJ sweeps. I agree with you completely though. That "wrestler's syndrome" as I call it goes away after about a year of training though. Its just annoying as hell while it lasts.

[ChrisL1100]

whats the objective of wrestling. i thought it was to get the opponent outside the circle. someone explain to me. :D

[97177]

the object of wrestling is to pin or win by points for instance takedown is 2 point escape is one and for college they have rideing time also have backpoints which can be 3 or 2 backpoint but the main objective is to pin but difrent types of wrestling have diffrent objectives as greco is to throw same with freestyle or like earlier pin!

[bjjartist]

The sport you're describing is sumo. A different style of wrestling from this one popular in Japan.

[ezzz13]

fuck that cadwell is disrespectful

[toolmantooltime]

Your kidding right? ezzz your a moron

[toolmantooltime]

Metcalf got punked again by my new favorite wrestler of all time

[aliizraw]

u have a nice tv

[Seven7n7]

"that shows NO respect" I LOVE IT!!
