This thread breathes new life.

Is that you Coach Smith?

Or perhaps, the nary oft seen, double duck.

How did it finish?

Perfect, thanks!

Who wins? who are the former wrestlers?

Sorry sorry. Hope that’s more to your liking.

Agree. but a person who knows they are not well versed. As opposed to someone who is guessing. In that scenario.. instead of the treetop garbage, “how does he the finish from here?” Inexperienced asks to the legit commentator.

Kid went from 0 pounds to 197 in a year. Step aside Ok Bulk Job, hello Maryland Mass Builder

It is quite awful. I’d be interested to hear if someone out there is willing to admit they honestly enjoy his commentary. Makes me think.. I wonder if it would actually go over well having a person not well versed in wrestling, who is asking their counter-part questions about the action. Would that help the viewer who isn’t experienced?

But I don’t want to have to read and interpret. No fun. This scenario started neutral so body lock was in play. But again, I don’t want to read… bottom foolishly reaches back, turns shoulders. Can I not drive through and body lock direct to back?

This ref needs to announce when he waves points off. Verbally calls two then visually waves it off. The wrestlers don’t know it’s been called off. Only what they hear.

If Joles takes neutral there in the third, possibly a flipped result.

Made no sense.

Does near-fall criteria start once a pinning combination is applied? I lock a 3/4 Nelson there is no near-fall occurring but my hands are locked. Or any of the other arm captured moves. (Irregardless of the cassiopi situation)

Power half, would be the only one I think of? Cradle that turns into a half? But thats more transition than intention.

Feels like most moves are locked while the bottom guy is belly facing the mat right? And feet to back(scramble as well) is even more of a loose scenario with what you had locked before hitting the mat.

I was looking at the rule yesterday too and it definitely leaves a lot of area uncovered. Since you don’t lock your hands once you get to near fall. You lock the move then turn the opponent over typically. So there has to be some kind of referee intermediate interpretation of, is this approaching near fall or imminent possibility of near-fall. Right? [With the danger rule added it makes me think if you’re giving up a take down due to back exposure danger, that should be threat of near-fall if you remain in the situation or go between 45° and 90°.]

You’ve taint’ed this post.

Definitely feels like he’s getting slept on. Robb wrestles close matches, tough rope to walk to a title, but can be done.

Bear hug/body lock

Merkel, cradle, 3/4 Nelson, power half, assassin, all allow locked hands, even before any exposure. Parris’ s back was exposed, precursor to near fall, locked hands for pinning combo allowed.

Not to be confused with Longar Longar, the basketball player.
