Now Nigel, you know I have defended you a couple of times, buuuttttt...I gotta call ya on this one. You're changing your position a bit too much on a serious topic.

In another stream you admitted to awarding the point to the defender when the attacker unintentionally "got too rough". You even approach the notion that a wrestler (at some level) should be "gentle" in that same stream. This is just a portion of that stream to remind you...

Yes I did make that call, because I had to. As i'm sure you are aware if you bring another wrestler off of his feet it is that wrestlers responsibility to bring them down under control. As I saw it the wrestler dropped him straight on his back hard, it wasn't the hardest drop I've ever seen and I don't really think he did it on purpose or with intent to harm, but the way he was brought down wasn't under control.
While I respected you for standing your ground then and there, in that match and on the stream, I am now very dissappointed and confused by your inconsistency. You are an official with an official influence on the outcome of a match. You should not waiver the slightest.
