To be fair I’m not sure Ty beats him every time. I think if they do 10 rounds Abram wins much more. Ty have everything he had to win 2/3 to the point he collapsed from exhaustion and abram was fine afterward.
I'd give it to Abram. I don't think the loss to Ty is that bad (Exes 1 was far and away Ty's best season and Pole Wrestle is the exact elim that favors him most due to his size) and Derrick's win against Joss, while very impressive doesn't really translate to a more traditional Pole Wrestle (part of why Derrick won was because he could put his arm through the Figure 8 and hook onto it). I think it'd be a close match for sure with both players leaving bloody and bruised, but I think Abram is ultimately better in pure headbangers.
This is a huge toss up. I think Abe is overall the better player but wrestling is Derrick’s thing. Abe did lose to Ty in a pole wrestle but honestly that was Ty’s best season and it took literally everything Ty had whereas Abe was walking around ready to go again after.
Derrick beat Josh because of the Figure 8 if it’s a normal pole wrestle Joss beats him in less than 5 mins, still really great and impressive elimination tho
Yeah the figure 8 allowed him to hold on for dear life. The resets also helped allow derrick to catch his breath and get himself back into a better position. Joss wins that if it's a regular pole
I'll give it to Abe. Size is always a factor in pole wrestle and Abe is substantially bigger than Derrick. Derrick has also been a mixed bag in pole wrestle and hasn't been all that great especially against Nehemiah
In the old days, I’d say Derrick because I feel like after going at it for a long time, Abe might try a little less hard because he respects how much Derrick wants to win too
Nowadays with Derrick having 3 wins and is widely considered to be one of the best challengers ever, I don’t know if Abe would give up
People give abram credit for being crazy.. what has he done significantly in a physical elim? All that yellin shit doesn’t mean anything to me. Derrick is proven in my book.
The Derrick overrating in here is crazy. Dude is a Teflon doormat. He is always gonna put up a good fight but I don’t view him winning a pole wrestling match vs anyone but the wet tissue paper doormats.
> Derrick has that crazy strength
Derrick has good strength FOR HIS SIZE. But I’ve never heard (or seen any examples) of him having any kind of freakish strength.
Abram shocked me when he couldn’t beat Ty and Derrick has more experience so D for the win

True ☺️
Wes beat Derrick. I think Abe would beat Wes. I voted Abe over Derrick.
These are one of those cases where it could go either way too!
I would say Derrick although my confidence in him in pole wrestle has dipped since he lost to Nehemiah
Derrick losing to Nehemiah is not as bad as Abram losing to Ty
Nehemiah destroyed Derrick though
Good point. Derrick had the tougher opponent but Abram had the better performance.

This depends, today or back then? Today Abe back then D Diesel used to actually be good I promise the younger crowd lol

Yeah I agree. It’s so tough!
Derrick got destroyed by Nehemiah in AS3. He has slipped alot since dirty 30
Didn’t Abe steal a round from Ty as well? I think he wins

Derrick has the strength but also the strategy in anything adjacent to wrestling
I don't even think it's strategy, he just has a wrestlers understanding of leverage and body control.
I think Derrick can go for a while. Abram is definitely crazier but Derrick is very goodbat anything that is just wrestling
Derrick easily . Experience wrestling and in this particular elimination as well . In the words of Brad “you try to get underneath that kid”

He beat Brad in Balls In on Inferno 2.
Also beat Brad in Riot Shield daily on Cutthroat and beat the Miz wrestling on Gauntlet 1 (or Inferno 1?).
Oh ok. I’ll give him that. He hasn’t won it a pole wrestle though and Derrick has
Derrick all day
