I'm so disappointed that it isn't Carwin fighting Rothwell

This is the fight that would expose the hell out of Carwin. He would get absolutely dominated on the feet and would struggle to get the fight to the ground. Rothwell would not get caught with Carwin's ridiculous 1-2 combo, and he would land punches through Carwin's non-existent defense all night long. Carwin's wrestling would be tested against Rothwell's exceptional takedown defense, and if it failed the test, it would be a very bad night for Shane.

I think Cain on the other hand is well-rounded enough and a good enough wrestler to give Rothwell some serious problems. It should still be a great fight though, I'm still looking forward to it.

So Cains wrestling would give him problems, yet Carwins wrestling and extra power wouldn't be a problem?


Think before you speak.

If Ben has a great TD defense then it should work on Cain and Carwin.

Wow, really dumb thread. Sometimes I agree with you, TS, but this time you're waaaaay off. Carwin can wrestle too and he would most likely knock Rothwell out.

I'm happy that Cain matched up with him and Carwin got Lesnar. It makes more sense right now.

size and strength probably affect wrestling more than anything else. while carwins technique may not be as good as cain's, but his size and power makes up for it. they would pose the same amount of problems (wrestling wise).
