oh my gosh KC Handballer, you took the words right out of my mouth. I think that the wrestlers who "play" with their opponents show absolutely NO SPORTSMANSHIP and hurt the integrity of wrestling. It is just like a basketball coach leaving in all of his starters when they are ahead by over 30 points in the fourth quarter so that they can "get more practice" or leaving in a star running-back when they are already ahead by over 20 points in a football game so "his numbers will be higher". No matter what the reason, it's wrong.

Shelstin, I agree that there are wrestlers out there who are better at the takedowns than on the mat but they usually don't just takedown their opponent, let them up, take them down, let them up repeatedly the entire period. They at least try to work their opponent on the mat. If they don't at least try, they will never get become a better mat wrestler. (a football team without a good running back will still at least try to run a few times during the game so the running back can improve). There is no call for the so called "show-offs" who like to toy with their opponents.

I was so mad at a team earlier this year who had a wrestler that toyed with one of our teammates. And then to top it all off, their coaches were laughing on the sidelines. They thought it was the funniest thing they seen. No respect was given to our guys so no respect for any of their wrestlers or coaches. It has been over a month but I am still steamed about the situation. I am now eagerly waiting and hoping that this wrestler gets beat (justice would be to have him "played with" by a better opponent as well but that probably won't happen)
