Some of those matches where the score may have appeared close were not really that close. Especially talking about Moore/Sonderegger, Caputo/Malloy, Moore/Cisper, Grayson/Sprang. Simpson was also cruising to an easy win until he got hurt.
That handshake thing was a rule in Missouri a few years ago until they saw how stupid it was and got rid of it. Ellis from Missouri was ticked and didn't want to accept the decision yet, probably rightfully so, since his coaches were still protesting the outcome. Then Thompson decided to do a little tongue-wagging to the Missouri side, even though he didn't have the energy to walk in a straight line after the match. Talk about class.
