Obviously improvement is subjective
Some fans just want straight freestyle, but I personally love mat wrestling when guys actually are trying to score. See Bryce's semi final loss as an awesome example. I just feel like 90% if the mat wrestling we see is guys just trying to hold someone down because they don't want to give up 1, versus actually trying to score themselves. Get rid of the escape, and guys that want to go neutral can cut they guy and get back to work on the feet without penalty. Guys that want to try to get turns can pick top without worrying about losing a match by one escape point. Same idea with OT. Rideouts, from the current or old rules, are literally just an excuse for guys to stall on top, and award a winner based on that. Wrestlers would be dumb not to stall on top with the current rules.
