Drooke Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I hope you didn't see the fan turnout at the WTT's this year then TAE. Or the scholastic duals at Wabash College....If I were a coach of a club or high school in W.central Indiana or Western Indianapolis, Lafayette, or Terre Haute area I would have my kids in attendence for that event. Great two days of wrestling with some elite matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlerBlack77 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 My question is why didnt the kid being slammed lock his arms around the other kids body when he went to throw him forward. He would hav saved himself from getting slammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hawaiian Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think as wrestler A who has wrestler B in the air, wrestler A has to return wrestler B with control back to the mat as not to slam. Sorry that was a slam, and wrestler A's only intention was to slam and showed no control of wrestler B in returning him to the mat. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwkwrestler12 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 This move is perfectly legal in Freestyle. Plain and simple, Folkstyle has different rules. Folkstyle it would have been a slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 In freestyle wrestling a great deal more is open to the referees interpretation of the rules. I am not a ref but I would interpret this as a "brutal" move which could lead to disqualification for the offensive wrestler.Reference Articles 53-55 pages 51-53 of freestyle rules book for clarification of all the possoble outcomes. I am not a ref as I said but in the "spirit of the sport" my call would be to send a message of, this is not acceptable standard for wrestling at least at this level. The risk of serious injury are too great. Any one who does not agree.... well ... you could always join the Marines and hit the Afgan front with my nephew Eric. Were the only rule is to stay alive and that includes killing the opponent(enemy) in that pursuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awood2 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I see two mistakes regarding this call: 1) In 'freestyle terms' this is clearly brutality as FS referees call it. These are not international level athletes. They are high school kids. This is no different than the NFL helmet contact rules this season. Sport is sport, a move like this is more like gladiators. 2) If that is not brutality, then the referee needs to call the fall so that this kid doesn't have to get up and risk having that happen again! If I were scoring this match it would have been a five point move; 3 for the first bounce and 2 more back exposure for the second bounce : There is no place in wrestling for this. It has been said before, keep those kinds of moves inside the cage. If you agree with this call, then you are saying that this move should be allowed at every local tourney and state finals. Simply nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOX FAN Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 WOW!! Watch the offensive wrestlers hip action. It looks pretty clear to me what his intention was. The real question here is not is this legal. It should be is this lethal? Time for me to hang up the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
