These are the most insane moves we've seen so far at the 2019 NCAA wrestling tournament

PITTSBURGH — The 2019 NCAA wrestling tournament is just getting started, and already these wrestlers have created enough highlight reels to keep wrestling fans exciting until next year's tournament. Let's take a look at some of the best moments of the national championship so far. We'll keep this updated throughout the tournament, bringing you the latest highlights and top moments during each session.

TRACK LIVE RESULTS: 

Jason Nolf pins Ben Anderson in 45 seconds 

"Nolf, next topic," has become the saying among college wrestling fans and analysts this year, as the 157-pound defending national champion has shown complete and utter dominance in his final year wearing the Blue and White. He leads the Most Dominant Wrestler rankings and has two more pins than Penn State teammate Bo Nickal. Nolf is the top seed in this year's tournament and seems to be one of the most assured finalists. Anything can happen in these next few rounds of course, but Nolf's highlights from the first night of action only reinforce his elite skill level.

Ryan Blees makes it look easy

Virginia Tech's Ryan Blees pulled off one of the biggest upsets of Session I when he beat No. 7 Kaden Gfeller of Oklahoma State in sudden victory. His entire match could have been worthy of this list, but this moment is particularly impressive as he puts Gfeller on his back, secures the takedown and walks away with the W.

After North Carolina State's Sean Fausz dropped a major decision against defending national champion Spencer Lee, he worked his way through the consolation brackets in style. Fausz secured the fall over Gabe Townsell of Stanford before picking up decision over Jay Schwarm of UNI who put up some highlight-worthy moments of his own. This clip of Fausz doing his thing couldn't be left off this list of insane move. Just look at that control.

Bridges flips, rolls and battles his way through the consoles

Warning: this clip is better to watch in slow motion. For a moment, Wyoming's Montorie Bridges looked like he might be in some trouble, but the golden rule is to never doubt a Cowboy. Bridges stayed focused and took care of business in the consolation bracket on Friday morning, and his efforts allowed him to continue to fight for All-American honors.
