Re: Heavyweight Stalling

I think for the most part the refs are fine. I guess I would just prefer if they made stalling/fleeing a point of emphasis in heavyweight matches.

Re: Heavyweight Stalling

It seems like the first couple of tournaments I attended this year the officials were calling stalling/fleeing the mat fairly regularly, forcing the heavyweights to wrestle. It almost seemed as though it was a point of emphasis for the officials. The last few tournaments (including Winner's Choice) ...

Re: Heavyweight Stalling

Re: Heavyweight Stalling

"Just because they are big guys, doesn't mean they can't do offensive moves like the rest of the field. Stalling is stalling, doesn't matter the size."

Exactly right.

Re: Heavyweight Stalling

Both heavyweights were hit for stalling in aaa if im correct. neither wrestler was aggressive enough to warrant the second call. Now for the obvious call that decided the match was not a stall but a obvious fleeing the mat call that wouldve for sure resulted in a takedown. in your own words (Howeve...

Heavyweight Stalling

The officials at the State Tournament did a good job. I noticed an uptick on stalling calls in general at the tournament this year, a welcome sight. It appeared that most officials made an effort not to let a wrestler profit from inactivity. However, from what I could tell this did not seem to apply...

Re: AA/A Bear Tracks - January 23rd, 2019

I noticed you don't have Meador from Braxton County ranked in Heavyweight. Looks like he is 44-1 and just won the AA/A Region II final over Williams of Grafton, who you have ranked 4th. Just wondering why.

Also, at 44-1, I am wondering who beat Meador.

He made suggestions concerning possibly improving that tournament (and others) to allow for potentially incr...

Re: Alex Hart

It is not as simple as just changing the score and belatedly awarding the title to Alex Hart. As you are all aware, the score frequently dictates how you wrestle - which shots you take and don't take. Mr. Ward would have a valid argument that if the score were "fixed" pursuant to Coach Har...

The coming out and acting like you’re in the WWE on the mat before you wrestle.
