It warms my cold heart to see so many correct usages of pinfall.

Think of it as a 3 point swing. If they don't score two, they will be down one. In that way they are rewarded extra for scoring and digging themselves out of the hole they dug.

@RicoSwaff but have you considered renaming it PInfall Doctors?

The Party knows best who your favorite is, Tovarisch.

wrong, wrong, wrong. repeat after me, "ref screwed me"

Richard Voliva, a Distinguished Member inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1984, was born on this date in 1912. #LegendsLiveOn Every university welcomes home-grown talent. So when Indiana University Wrestling was building a wrestling power in the early 1930s, it was happy to find a young state champion right at home in Bloomington. As a sophomore, Dick was a member of the Indiana University Athletics team that claimed the 1932 NCAA championship, first ever for a Big Ten school. He amassed individual honors the next two years, reaching the national finals in 1933 and winning both Big Ten and NCAA titles as a senior, closing with a 48-4 record. He also starred in football, and as a senior was presented a special award for bringing honor and distinction to his university. Dick won a silver medal at the Olympics in Berlin in 1936. On returning from the Olympics, he joined the faculty at Montclair State University in New Jersey and soon launched a wrestling program there, serving as coach until World War II brought a four-year interruption. He had been commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army upon graduation in 1934, and during active duty he rose in rank to lieutenant colonel. Dick returned to New Jersey in 1946, but at the state university, Rutgers University. He coached Rutgers Wrestling for 25 years, guiding his teams to 148 victories against 85 losses and eight draws. He was a leader among his colleagues, serving five years on the NCAA rules committee, two of them as chairman. He was president of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association and of the National Wrestling Coaches Association.

Well, there is that.

Your poker analogy doesn't hold up. Four of a kind still beats one ace.

This was the pic I took of the freeze frame they showed on the jumbotron. It was an angle that Flo did not have. Or at least did not show on FRL.

If I guess the number between those two, do I get accepted?

Who is doing the paying? Who has jurisdiction to cap what they pay?

Yes, he DID. But I don't REMEMBER much about him.

Diakomihalis got a caution and one for dropping to his knees in the passivity zone before being pushed out in match one.

All right, lets play counting games. Higher win percentage-Lee. Higher bonus rate-Lee. More titles-Lee. More NCAA points-Lee. More world teams-Lee.

Matt Lee is wrestling 165 lbs / 74 kg now. I am guessing he can take Nick. Drop him down.

In this case it was listed poorly. They used folkstyle scoreboards (no underlining) matside and the jumbotron scoreboard did not show who had criteria. About half way through the first session they made an announcement that they were moving the dots signifying the period back and forth between the red and green (no blue) sides to indicate criteria. Sub-optimal.

Crazy talk

Have we heard that before? I have not, but I am not an always listener.

Lee beat Retherford and Diakomihalis in the consolation bracket at OTT in 2021.

Better view

Agreed. I thought it was well done. Smoothly run, great video review look ins, and @Jason Bryant was topnotch explaining challenges and reasons for rulings. My only niggle was the scoreboards. They used folkstyle scoreboards which meant they had to jury rig the criteria signifier. No underlined score. Instead they would switch the period indicator to red or green (no blue) to signify criteria.

I wouldn't say he had to overcome the fans in the arena. They were definitely behind him.

They showed three different angles in the arena where it was obvious. The last of the three was the best and the singlet was extended 6 to 8 inches away from Burroughs' leg. But, people have a hard time abandoning their hot take once they commit to it.

Hopefully they start having the virtuous cycle where RTC results begin to pay off with college recruiting wins. If they can get the Warners, Woods, Gomezes, Cassiopis, etc. to stay home it wound pay big dividends.

In the arena it was a different experience. @Jason Bryant did an excellent job explaining what was challenged. And the refs gave clear explanations over the PA of the results of a challenge. They also put on the jumbotron what was being reviewed by the refs. For example, there was a different view of the Nick Lee / Yianni Diakomihalis action at the end of match 2 on the jumbotron. When they showed it in the arena there was a loud concensus for two.
