North Korea?

Is it because they are taught not to question authority?

Went back and re-watched it. George never said the bowling term, his accent made it sound that way. Trying to get the pin further from the edge. Some of you aren't down with how the King's English is spoken, which pre-dates the bowling term. 

If it is precedence you want, precedence you shall have.

While the King's may pre-date the bowling term, the wrestling term also pre-dates the bowling term.

I will not allow those dirty keglers to steal the term from it's rightful owners.

Pinfall it ever was. Pinfall it shall ever be.

The earliest pin cushions date back to the 16th century and were made from simple materials such as velvet, silk, or stuffed fabric. These early pin cushions were often small and simple in design, often shaped like a tomato, hence the nickname “tomato pin cushion”.  But why do you ask ... to avoid the pinfall.

And another thing. Take note of how there is no end date for pinfall. Hmmm.

The pin cushion ended the pin fall all reference beyond that time is just fantasy world.

Shirley you aren't suggesting Wkn is irrational?  Although I did take an economics course in rational expectations/behavior and there was no mention of Wkn so ...

I'm not a fan of that guy who spends the fist two minutes of every bout reading a section of the wrestlers' wikipedia entries .... U20 bronze medalist, U23 silver, Asian championships Gold, Asian Games Silver medal. 

What's the point if you just rattle off 20 medals for both wrestlers and don't give any context to what they mean? Mentioning if one of them is a highly decorated legend or on a win streak is fine, but we don't need to know about their 5 man field continental bronzes and U20 accolades.

The folks that know...know. The other folks have listened to commentary from college wrestling duals and found it fascinating, "Wikipedia entries" seems Highbrow to the, "fascinating" folks...

i don't agree. They're providing pertinent information, do you want them to contrive some intermediary power scaling framework for random people who are watching cause they got lost on the internet?

I am talking about one specific commentator. I'm pretty sure he just reads the wrestlers wikipedia entry or some other notes that he gathered. You can tell he's reading off something and is not watching the match when he does it.

If it was the guy on B I believe in one case he was calling the wrong Ukraine kid. Maksym Liu (?). He was saying Yevtushenko. I reported it but who knows.
