I showed my wife the video last night and she thought the official made the appropriate call. Why should I take any stock in what she thinks, she never wrestled competitively.

Well, her dad coached high school wrestling in Nebraska, then he contributed to starting junior high wrestling here in Lawrence way back. Both of her brothers wrestled, and her dad had her practice with her older brother at home so he could learn his moves. She was the wrestling manager in high school. Three of her sons wrestled (two still do). Her husband and his brother both wrestled. So, kind of like Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, I will allow her testimony.

Besides, after twenty years of marriage, I have never known her to be wrong.
