Darrion Caldwell vs. Brent Metcalf: 2009 NCAA wrestling championships (149 lbs.) 

The big loser(s) in this match were the commentators.

Caldwell had Metcalf's number. They call it a huge upset, but Caldwell topped him 3 times. Looking back, Metcalf's 2008 was one of the best seasons ever, so the win here was pretty awesome. Great job Darrion!

"NEUTRAL! NEUTRAL!"

Hear that bs from the commentator? He needs to get up and walk off. Let’s win right too? What a crock, the kid did nothing wrong. Let him have his moment

I love how this match triggers so many people!

Great wrestlers! Caldwell was impressive!!

0:45 how? How is hitting a nasty headlock and not getting rolled through no respect? The wanted DC to lay down for Metcalf but, he’s a fighter!

whats darrions wing span? brent couldnt handle his length

Jersey boi!!!! I grew up in roselle park nj same county as Caldwell in Rahway he’s a legend in NJ HE DESERVED THIS. Metcalf was terrible in the final for that (keeping Caldwell from celebrating) and I loved metcalf

He said Caldwell needed to walk off, however, Metcalf did a cheap shot where someone could have been hurt! How was this an upset?

Caldwell had crazy athleticism

Also a jersey boi Caldwell he thanked god for that!! As all us do bro god family country and New Jersey

Seems like Metcalf always won by forcing his opponent to wrestle the kind of match he wanted, so he was always able to muscle down and contain him. Caldwell was so much of a loose cannon wildcard that Metcalf's strategy couldn't work, Metcalf was always getting caught off-guard. Nobody expects a single leg shot from 6 feet away, or a headlock hip toss from a routine tie up. Caldwell also had some serious tenacity and funk when it came to takedown defense.

Caldwell stalled well; he was tired, adjusting his headgear, milking injury time, using the tricks to extend his small gas tank. But his wrestling was truly outstanding.

Caldwell looks older then than he does now

They took a team point from NC for Caldwell’s early celebration but didn’t do nothing about Metcalf?

White commentator announcer could not contain or conceal his bias against Caldwell during the match and during the victory celebration. But he hardly condemned Metcalf’s sore loosing shove of an airborne competitor after the clock had run out!

11:20 “now he needs to get up and he needs to walk off” racism is crazy 😭😭

a win's a win!!

Joe buck: THAT IS A DISGUSTING ACT FROM DARION CALDWELL

It's funny how the commentator said, " He needs to get up and walk off" after he just won a National Championship? I've seen other(black & white) wrestlers celebrate and nothing was said about their celebrations. Some cried, some ran and hugged their coaches while lifting them in the air, some even walked in a circle waving and so on but I've never heard this mentioned to a wrestler. I followed that season and Metcalf did get him in an earlier match winning with no problem. I believe because of the earlier win he thought he was going to coast it....he was wrong! This shows that you always have to stay on your game, always!!

Caldwell better on his feet. Quicker. Love this match. Metcalf poor loser.

I would have scratched his eye out

Dominant

No arguing with the 4 takedowns, but the hands to the face and hanging on to the headgear is pretty low.

Now he needs to get up and walk off after being cheap shot by Metcalf

Injury time out then stall for rest time and do back flip then admit bm is 3 rd period dominator because of conditioning. ?? No excuse for pushing after back flip

He started backing up and celebrating right away face your opponent, and wrestle to the whistle doesn't matter who you are.

How is 5:30 not a take down for Metcalf? Buehler? Buehler? Buehler?

When it’s a black guy he needs to “walk off and win right to “ fuck outta here

Back when wrestling was racist lol

Caldwell is a dirty wrestler but he's really good tho

With the modern 3-point takedown, Caldwell sort of manhandled him

Metcalf always overrated
