Holds true 100%. There is a difference between an official making a judgement call in a close match and an official totally blowing a by the book call.

One wrestlers back was exposed and a three count was given. The the match was stopped for Potentially Dangerous. By rule everything that happened up until the match was stopped has to be awarded. 2 nearfall was awarded. Then a coach questioned the call. The officials talked and decided it was PD before he was turned. If that was true the officials blew the call by allowing the match to continue and giving a three count. If it was not true they blew the call by taking away points already awarded. The only call they could have made to at least save face was an illegal hold and awarded a point to the other wrestler, which they did not. This was a match between two very good wrestlers and officiated by officials that were not prepared for the match. This was not the first blown call of the tournament, the kids deserve better officials, bottom line.


Unnecessary Roughness is Necessary
