I have coached several wrestlers who were capable of piling up tech falls but the ultimate goal in my opinion in a match is to pin your opponent not tech fall them. There was a HWT several years ago, from a 321A school I believe, maybe Norton, who took almost every one of his opponents down and pinned them in the 1st period. That shows domination, not piling up tech falls against inferior opponents. In college, you see it a little more because you are wrestling quality opponents who are hard to pin or even turn to their back. Congratulations to Austin and this post is not to downgrade his accomplishments.



If you're not meaning to downgrade Austin's accomplishments, why are you posting your nonsense on this thread?
