So who's the Ronda Rousey of Pro Disc Golf???!!

[phrumphkin]

OK, so things have been pretty milk-toast on these forums lately... So, to fix that:

Who do YOU think is the equivalent of Rousey (male or female disc golfer) in our sport? Who shot to the top and dominated, then crashed & burned and now can't seem to make it at the top level?!!! Come on kids, don't be shy about offending anyone, this is what fans do, and true professionals know that pretty much anything is fair game opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:

Nate Doss from discraft for sure

If we are talking about people who aren't entertaining, you.

Will? Used to be #1 then has struggled to regain his title and work his way back to the top.

Agreed. He fixes that putt and watch out though.

Hmm, not a bad call.. What about Eric McCabe? Since winning worlds, he hasn't been able to get back in contention for a repeat.. Not knocking him, as he's obviously still awesome compared to most.. But still...

It seems that Eric and Nate prioritized differently, that is, their "demise" was by choice. Will clearly had no intention of a downward path. His also seemed more precipitous.

Paul McBeth was on top for a good while, then (like Rousey) took a severe blow go the jaw (so to speak) from Wisocky in 2016 and was reeling (and injured) the whole year. Comeback for both? Most very likely.

The three time World Champ? Come on...:wall:

Bingo!

Yeah, good point -- I think Will is the best candidate mentioned so far.. I don't think McBeth fits this category at all, since he still won plenty of tourneys in '16 even though he got pipped by Ricky at Worlds.. Who else, you guys???

 

[bobmcnelly]

Will was the first one to come to mind.

 

[DougCrawford]

Cam Todd, Nikko

 

[discguy42]

What about a female candidate?

 

[Inverted]

Definitely McBeast! He won everything the last few years and was the face of the sport, until last year when he failed to win every tournament *gasp*!!!

 

[phrumphkin]

What about a female candidate?

Well, I would have said Val Jenkins... But she came back and won worlds again to make a pretty sweet comeback!
