The picture I have seen for this situation shows that using proper technique when an offensive wrestler is in a pinning position is going to penalize the offensive wrestler. I have been taught my entire wrestling career that when you have someone on their back and are chest to chest, you need to be on your toes and not your knees. This goes directly against using the PROPER technique for this situation...

So I guess we will not be getting very many call on the edge in this situation, because I am not going to teach a wrestler to go to their knees in this situation. Making our referees, who already have a tough enough time as it is, have an even tougher job to do. Thanks for the continued confusion. This is the way to build our sport, making rules that are inconsistent, tough to call, and tough to understand for the fans. Way to go!!!
