UPDATE: Brent Metcalf apologizes.

This past weekend's NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships featured upsets galore. The most remarkable upset, however, came in the 149 lb. championships in which NC State's Darrion Caldwell dominated Iowa's Brent Metcalf, the current poster-boy for collegiate wrestling.

Coming into the match, both wrestlers were 37-0. Metcalf was the returning NCAA champion, and Caldwell was a returning All-American, placing 5th last year.

In Metcalf's 3rd career NCAA match in the early part of the 2007 season, Caldwell pinned Metcalf, which was considered a fluke, catching him by surprise with a spladle.

So why was this considered an upset? Since losing to Caldwell, Metcalf was 69-0 and has completely dominated the competition, including a technical fall (which is basically a mercy rule) of Caldwell earlier this season. Metcalf has never been behind to start the 3rd period.

At the conclusion of the match, Metcalf interrupted Caldwell's celebration by pushing him in mid-air while Caldwell was transitioning from a cartwheel to a backflip.

Some thought it to be classless, but I personally did not. Metcalf has been trained to wrestle until the whistle blows and that's what he was doing. Caldwell started his celebration a bit too early and Metcalf was trying to score points. Metcalf defended himself, saying, "If I was trying to push him, I would've pushed him off the entire platform." Caldwell had no issue with it either.

Part 2 of the match is after the jump.
