I find it amusing that some people here think taking their opponent down several times during a match is a disgrace to the aggressive wrestler. The statement that one doing so is "running up the score" is a joke. Last I knew there was a tech fall rule that prevented it. Of course they are trying to "increase their score". That's the object of the match while looking for the opportunity to get a pin.

What difference does it make if they do it by getting a bunch of near fall points (like good leg wrestlers will often do) or if they get'em by taking their opponents to the mat several times? Each wrestler should be applying their skills to the best of their ability. Since each wrestler's talent and skills are different, we see a variety of approaches to winning a wrestling match. Wouldn't it be pretty boring if everyone used exactly the same moves in every match?

PS: Interesting that there is also another current thread talking about Kansas wrestlers not being good enough on their feet to be of interest to D1 coaches. Hmm.
