I know a few people who knowingly pronounce their name incorrectly for the ease of those around them - which is sort of interesting.  Anyway 184 in a clash of styles - Rogotzke always going for a big move and Ruth seems to be incentivized based on sudden victory wins only.

A really good wrestler might have a true highlight takedown once every three matches. In the Big Ten, it might be once every four. So many single scrambles and go behinds and shrug-bys. Great for winning, but pretty ho-hum if you ask me. With Edmond Ruth, you are almost guaranteed a highlight reel takedown every single match, even against the best competition. 

Quality over quantity.
