Three Point Buck:
I said Refertieg and Chenowith were outstanding wrestlers. I question if taking inferior wrestlers down again and again to set a takedown record is any accomplishment.
In any other sport it would be called "running up the score" even if they eventually decided to pin their opponent. In other sports it would be considered unsportsmanlike.
Coaches, teams, and athletes have been criticized for "piling on" to achieve some record at the expense of an "outmanned" opponent. Example: not pulling out the starters or continuing to full-court press when the game is essentially over.
To win with grace and to show respect for your opponent is not merely shown by shaking their hand after the match. It also is shown in how you treat them during the match. To take them down over and over when you could end the match
much earlier is not winning with grace or showing any compassion for a weaker opponent. In fact, it is self-serving and makes me a little sick to my stomach when I watch it happen. All for what, to try and achieve some meaningless record that proves nothing.
