I used to like coming to this board.
Then it turns out when your guy needs a refs assistance to win, and doesn’t get it, SOME of you act like this.
Fix won in NJ because of the refs. Not much complaining then. He loses now, and everyone else is at fault.
Maybe he should wrestle to his ability and take it out of the refs hands? That was the advice our board gave to Nicky when he got robbed.
Fix didn’t shoot. Wasn’t aggressive and wanted coaching challenges and bricks to hand him a national title. Go earn it.
The best rule in wrestling is the dean heil rule (the danger rule). Maybe they’ll change rules up now for challenges. Who knows?
But I do know that a lot of you were okay with a guy lying on his back in neutral to win national titles. To now somehow blame rules, is ludacris.
Wrestle aggressive next time and you won’t need the zebras.
Rant over.
For those of you who aren’t whining, good tournament. Sorry about gfeller. I thought he was a major bracket buster. And I’m torn for chandler. On the one hand he lost a wrestle off. On the other hand he would have been more equipped for the grind of a long tournament.
And as far as recruiting NJ, you’ve had a lock on Blair since I was in high school. You guys can keep recruiting Blair. We’ll take the public schools. See, compromise. It can work.
Look forward to stopping back in here when the freestyle season gets into full gear.
Then don't come back jackass!
I used to think you had a decent amount of Wrestling knowledge when you weren't trolling. This post shows you can't be objective.
Here is how this goes...
Suriano is one of the best in the business in regards to defending a takedown. He is ELITE at defense and very hard to takedown. Fix on the other hand, is elite in neutral. That is called a clash of style and makes it hard for one wrestler to accomplish what he excels at. In the Finals, Suriano stepped it up on his D and kept forward pressure to confuse the talented Fix. SO, he made it incredibly hard for Fix to score. It is of note, he didn't score worth a shit either despite all of his forward pressure. As educated as I thought you were to this sport, you would realize that is often used as a tactic to avoid stall calls.
In overtime, Fix's rideout should have never been stalemated. Again, with your knowledge, you know that 1., a rideout in SV is NEVER stalemated, ever. 2., the rules stipulate that a stalemate should occur when NEITHER wrestler can advance their position. It was very clear Fix was beginning to work on the wrists...even though I concede that a turn was not going to be attempted. Fix earned the victory first with being able to sink his boots in.
Next, in neutral SV, Fix finally caught Suriano slipping up and executed a beautiful slide by for the win. It was clearly and blatantly stopped by the head gear grab. If the tables were turned, you'd be pretty upset about the no call. Matter of fact, Mark Hall has a victory against Zahid for a similar infraction, so while uncommon, it does happen.
On the NJ dual, and the brick throwing for penalties...I agree with you. Fix shouldn't have received that win on a hands to the face, that rule needs to be looked at. I felt Fix was tentative to Suriano's defense and had a gameplan to win in OT with a rideout instead of using offense. I don't know that for sure, but he didn't seem to be on the hunt to score...but neither did.
