Right so what we are all saying is a lot of good athletes aren't going to wrestle;(210-235 because they don't want to get stuck under a 285 pounder

just an opinion: 1.) The Brands are true IOWA besides home bread Iowa Hawkeyes! They like giving the guys out west a shot and especially happy to develop the local state champs. Getting away from the Pennsylvania, New Jersey powerhouses is a more risky/challenging evaluation of in coming talent. The portal lets them recharge where they lost in recruitment. 2.) The commits of the northeast high school wrestling programs are more staying east since; Caels success and other Snyder/Gilman Penn State RTC move. influenced by facility proximity success money not in that order.

imagine an entire squad of Olympic Silver's; improvement?

A 210-239 pound athlete should be in a different weight class than a 240- 285 pound athlete! Guessing Maybe 60% college quarterbacks, corners, small running backs fit this demographic.

Complete period rideout should be rewarded! 1 extra The Referees are already controlling parallel ride stalling. You basically control your opponent for an entire 2 minutes straight and get 30% reward(1 for riding time) of a 5 second blast takedown.

I say 1 extra point for a period ride out! What's harder than that?

Please pretend there is no such things as international Freestyle Wrestling. We are just improving Folkstyle dominance scoring. Love the 3 point takedown as it rewards offense and superiority on the feet. I think more ways to score would equal make folkstyle more exciting. First: why not a point for every minute riding time not just the first. Isn't continued riding a show of dominance. stalemates and stalling can still negate inactivity. secondly 1 extra point for a period ride out. Why do 95% of wrestlers choose bottom as there first choice. An escape is seemingly the easiest way to score a point, therefore riding must be more difficult and the dominance should be rewarded. Don't you think we are going to see a flurry of action if the bottom guy has been ridden for 1:45 and could lose a point if he caves and gets ridden out. Again referees can issue stalling warnings so there is no incentive to be stagnant on the mat. people are going to escape just as easily and be on their feet. Only you would suffer if you are unable to escape dominance. Just throwing it out there; the only negative is world wrestling is Freestyle
