Chewie, what you stated is why I have always advocated that wrestlers shouldn't try to pin their opponents in the first and second period. I always tell kids they should wrestle the whole 6 minutes that way when they come up against a good oppoenent they won't be gassing. Now days everyone is going for pin records and fastest falls.
