About this episode
In this episode of Basch & The Brain , we break down all the major storylines from the 2025 World Team Trials. We start with the good, the bad, and the ugly from the event before diving into each key weight class — including Real Woods showing out at 65kg , Yianni vs PJ locked in at 70kg , Carter vs Dake delivering at 86kg , and Josh Barr making serious noise at 92kg . We also discuss PSU/NLWC sending 7 athletes to Final X, Skylar Grote vs Amit Elor, and whether Mason Parris & Gable Steveson’s absences left 125kg feeling flat. Plus, we close with a teaser on the Class of 2026 Big Board and our Top 10 recruiting prospects . 05:00 - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly of the World Team Trials 18:18 - 65kg Recap, Real Woods Brought It 30:25 - 70kg Recap, We’re Getting Yianni vs PJ! 36:00 - National Team/Not Wrestling Back 44:40 - 79kg, PSU/NLWC Sends 7 to Final X 48:43 - 86kg - Carter/Dake Delivered 57:00 - 92kg - Barr is an Animal 01:01:45 - 97kg - TBD if Our Rep is Now Set 01:05:15 - 125kg - Lacked the Star Power We're Used To 01:10:20 - Skylar Grote brought it to Amit Elor 01:12:15 - Class of 2026 Big Board Teaser 1:14:20 - The NEW TOP 10 in The Class of 2026!
