What is offensive wrestling? Someone attempting to score a take-down. I saw far too many wrestler rewarded for pushing, instead of rewarded for attempting to score a take-down. I believe that makes for a boring match. I saw the 152 lbs. semi-finals match decided on a stalling call. The sport is to gain advantage by scoring a take down. Not by taking your opponent off of the mat (That's Sumo Wrestling). That's boring. The objective was to push him off the mat to gain the stalling point, not score a takedown. In fact, the pusher hardly ever attempted an offensive attack.
