oldschool Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 BB mckenna match is a perfect example of where folkstyle gets something right. The dominance points of holding a guy on his back for nearfall and the fact that mckenna was very nearly pinned make that match result leave a sour taste in my mouth. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you expose first before the TD (not feet to back), then spin behind you don't get the extra 2 for a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long, long time ago, a bunch of fat, old, bald, dumb ex-wrestlers came together to make the rules of wrestling. From their alcoholic perspectives, all of the rules make sense and are reasonable. They often wonder why the sport doesn't grow in popularity much like how they wonder why their hair doesn't grow but their disgusting, fat guts do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with the bye to the semis but it would tough even with plenty of rest.

How is it different from folkstyle? Had Rob Rohn held Josh Lambrecht on his back until the end of the period in that famous NCAA final, he still would have only received 5 pts (2TD + 3NF) and lost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
