I understand your frustration. Perhaps in coming years they could draw the starting weight so it doens't always come down to the big boys.

I watched Payne wrestle just a couple weeks ago at the state tournament. From what I saw his style is to keep the matches close and wait for the other guy to mess up. In other words, a typical heavyweight wrestler. I am not sure that even if the dual had already been decided you would have seen a much different match. And it was a good strategy. If things would have went different or Dom made a misstake then who knows?

And you are right -- stalling is a penalty. But point is that Joe took his penalties and Dom got the points so Joe played within the rules.

And yes - a football or basketball team would do just what you described if it would get them a victory.
