He is not opening up!" Many of our officials, especially those who never competed in the sport, have no idea what stalling is. It is the most under applied and misapplied rule in wrestling.


Well a Bulldog did do it later in the Tournament and The Bulldog Crowd did not approve of the action. His coach told him to cut that crap out immediately and it was stopped. So what is so special at the 113 pound class that no one there should be ridden? What makes that weight so Equal? I'm interested in your thoughts on that.
