Joe's #4 Jason Jordan vs. Jonah's #5 Shelton Benjamin
Joe: Jason Jordan is basically a younger version of Shelton Benjamin, so early on, I gotta say that I like my chances in this matchup.
Jonah: I would agree if Jason Jordan was healthy, but I’m pretty sure he had to retire due to a neck injury. I mean he’s been out for a year and a half, I’m pretty sure he’s got serious problems. With that health issue it’s at least a toss up between two fantastic wrestlers, should be a hell of a grappling match.
Joe: If Jordan is even close to healthy, I still give the edge to him. The longer you are out of that wrestling room, the more those skills deteriorate. At this point, Shelton probably isn’t winning a high school state championship. He was a freak of an athlete, but he’s down to just really good athlete as age has sapped him of some of that explosiveness, and I feel like the younger version will not be denied in this matchup.
Jonah: Jordan might win, he’ll probably injure his neck and the announcers can shit talk him for being legitimately injured like they did in one of his last angles. He’s not healthy enough to professionally wrestle so his health when it comes to shoot fights is probably pretty low.
Joe: How dare you. Professional wrestling is the toughest sport out there, being in a fight is a breeze. Still, if we are thinking that this tournament is happening in 2019, the neck issue is probably too big of one for him to properly come back fully healthy, so let’s give the edge to Shelton Benjamin.
