after a finals cermony that gets you pumped up like burlingtons does you just want to get the matches going as fast as you can... i like the one mat for the lower weight guys but i tell you what as an upper weight guy it feels like a life time to wait for you match wiht only one mat going... after seeing the two mat system used for several years i really like it... there always seems to be action going on and seems to keep the crowd around a little longer to see the big boys wrestle...
