I'm not sure if you've ever watched Payne and Flory wrestle, but Payne was winning handily in both matches they wrestled this year. He just made two mistakes in the second match and lost by a single point. He owned Flory when they were on their feet, but he got in trouble when Flory hooked up a wing and tilted him for back points. If Payne never chooses down, he wins the match going away. No disrespect to Flory, he is absolutely dominant when he's on top, I've never seen anyone so good in that position. Overall, Payne is technically a better wrestler.
