I take all these insults personally. You call these kinds of wrestlers bad sports, and say they're showing off and what not, but I can assure you I'm not a bad sport, nor have I ever displayed poor sportsmanship. There are several reasons I did it, and none of them were to embarass my opponents. As for the self esteem statement, come on, it's wrestling. If a kids worried about his self esteem, then he's in the wrong sport. Every wrestler has had some lumps at some time in their career and their self esteem has been hurt from it, it's part of the sport.
My definition of unsportsmanlike behavior IS 'if the opponent is of significantly lesser ability than you', and you continue to let them up and take them down. I have no problem with letting an opponent of near or better abilities, up as a tactic.
