busstogate Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 http://themat.com/section.php?section_id=3&page=showarticle&ArticleID=20281 There doesn't appear to be much done except clarifications, further adding sportsmanship penalties to the tiebreaker criteria in duals, and also aligning some existing issues. I love the economy thus far of the 2009-10 changes and the lack of drastic procedural changes. More time for worrying about wrestling for wrestling's sake. Chime in or not; I just had to express this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfcfanatic Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Sure.... Let's get rid of stalling.... Let's take away conditioning from a wrestling match..... Let's take away strategy of wearing an opponent out and pushing the pace.... Are you serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 they need to actually call stalling and get the matches moving there is nothing worse than watching a wrestler stall his ass off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearless fly Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The problem with stalling is it is up to the interpretaion of the ref(and sometimes bias). How does one call stalling when two wrestlers are nearly equal in ability and look like they might be stalling but they just not gaining an advantage nor giving the advantage to the other wrestler? My problem is which one gets called for it? ff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickS Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 A situation that I despise with stalling is when the ref feels he needs to make a stall call to appease the fans, I guess. He'll make enough stall calls that'll close the scoring gap, but won't directly effect the outcome. So if Guy A is up 1 point, the ref will make 1 stall call. If Guy A is up 2 points, he'll make 2 stall calls. Most of the time, the stall calls happened with 10-15 seconds left, so there really isn't time for another call. That just makes me sick. Here's a situation that actually happened. Cashe was beating Harper at Al Smith going into the 3rd, I think he was winning by 2. Cashe was on bottom and defended very well, head up and never flattened out, from what I can remember. For the first 90 seconds, the ref did nothing. However, in the last 30 seconds, he felt compelled to bombard Cashe with 2 stall calls, when Cashe was doing exactly the same thing he was doing the first 90 seconds. The ref did just enough without really effecting the outcome. I hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
