Well said Lee. I have always told my wrestlers that the most humane thing you can do to a less talented opponent is to take them down and pin them as quickly as possible and get them off the mat. What do you accomplish in humiliating or hurting someone who can't defend themself. That is definitely a speech I give to my better wrestlers the first round of a tournament. They don't always follow my advice, but they are usually reminded of it when the match is over.

The wrestler was lucky his opponent got up! An uneccessary move could have cost a championship. Whether the move was legal or not, it was uneccessary. Did he not have the ability or technique to pin him when he had him on his back the first time? In the winners defense, he did the right thing after the penalty by not showing any emotion and just going to work for a quick fall.
