I don't know if it's always been like this and I never noticed, or if it's a newer thing to break the action when a stall case is made and do a reset? The inconsistency stalling and when there is a reset is what bothers me most. Here are some examples of the inconsistencies:

1. Red has double boots in, referee calls the bottom wrestler for stalling.. no reset given to benefit the stalling wrestler

2. Red is on top and is about to be reversed, out of desperation, he grabs onto Greens's leg and the referee begins to count.. stall warning given, and a reset is given to benefit the stalling wrestler. Wrestler A gets to start back on top despite nearly being reversed.

3. It's the end of the match, Red is leading 4-2. There is a restart. Red immediately floats backwards to the edge, referee hits red for stalling. There is no reset is given to hurt the stalling wrestler. Red is allowed to continue wrestling from the edge even though he stalled to get there.

So in just these 3 examples we see in the circumstances:

1. Wrestler called for stalling gains no advantage due to no reset.

2. Wrestler called for stalling gains an advantage due to reset (better to give up a stall than a reversal).

3. Wrestler called for stalling gains an advantage due to no reset (they can stall to get to the edge, but are allowed to wrestle from there).

Am I crazy to think that these resets/non-resets are backwards?
