And you are saying you would prefer for a great wrestler to go light on an inferior opponent, like a sympathy match. I myself would prefer not to be given anything. I would like to go out and earn what I work for. I agree on showing respect and moral support to all wrestlers, we all have to start somewhere. But like I tell the kids I Coach its not all about winning and losing.
If I wrestled John Smith and lost to him 5-4, that would be a win to me in my book. But, how could I consider it a win if he did not go hard and let me lose by a small margin cause he felt sorry for me. Respect is doing your best and letting the chips fall where they may. Like they say respect is earned not given.
