I don't love the idea of neutral only for OT. It provides an unfair

advantage to wrestlers who are good on their feet over the guys who are hammers on the mat. I do think that once you go to OT, there is not leaving the circle. You step out or get pushed out, then point for other guy and match is over.

Rule changes you would like to see -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 1:42PM

There don't need to be stalling rule changes (other than my riding time -- HokieToph 03/23/2022 5:45PM

Agree completely. ** -- TartanHokie 03/23/2022 7:03PM

Reversal should be more than 2 points -- UpperQuad 03/23/2022 3:25PM

Here's a thought: 3 pt takedown -- Wilmington Hokie 03/23/2022 11:58AM

You have to remember that wrestling is more than just the neutral position -- HokieToph 03/23/2022 5:41PM

Totally agree. One of the things I like most about Folkstyle wrestling ... -- HokieJay 03/24/2022 07:41AM

0-0 end of first period, double stall call. ** -- TartanHokie 03/22/2022 9:20PM

I wrestled alot of matches in my life that were 0-0 -- GreenvilleVT 03/23/2022 07:50AM

I don't doubt you... -- TartanHokie 03/23/2022 1:02PM

It doesn't matter... -- HokieJack 03/23/2022 07:55AM

I doubt that. What you’ll have is more stall points -- GreenvilleVT 03/23/2022 08:10AM

Do you think the ref impacted the Red/Rivera match? -- TartanHokie 03/23/2022 1:10PM

Yeah i don't like this either -- Hikinghokie 03/23/2022 09:55AM

I have 3. -- Hokie Flyer 03/22/2022 5:04PM

Frankly the stall call is more of a fan issue -- GreenvilleVT 03/23/2022 08:51AM

I agree with just about everything you say, but have a couple questions. -- TartanHokie 03/23/2022 2:17PM

I certainly called stalling in the first period but -- GreenvilleVT 03/23/2022 3:38PM

Great insight. Thank you. ** -- TartanHokie 03/23/2022 4:06PM

I really like #2. If anything it rewards guys who are strong on top -- IV_Hokie12 03/22/2022 11:50PM

I would argue the 4 point near fall already favors mat wrestlers -- Hikinghokie 03/23/2022 12:59AM

But it is a lot harder to turn a guy than it is to take down a guy -- HokieToph 03/23/2022 5:43PM

Not a rule change but I'd like to see refs actually call stalling on top -- HokieToph 03/22/2022 4:43PM

Instadeath... -- VPIGUY 03/22/2022 4:19PM

My OT would be three periods with same framework as -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 4:17PM

Escape poInts have been part of wrestling since for ages. -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 4:00PM

You'll probably right that they'll keep it, -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 7:16PM

It’s alot easier to stall on your feet. -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 10:37PM

I don't think bottom stalling would be a issue though -- Hikinghokie 03/23/2022 12:35AM

Would get my votes if it improves wrestling. Especially stalling on top. -- SCHokie1103 03/22/2022 3:29PM

Obviously improvement is subjective -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 3:51PM

Thanks for the education. I’m learning. ** -- SCHokie1103 03/22/2022 4:13PM

Turning someone or even keeping them on bottom for a whole period -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 4:05PM

The escape point actually has a secondary value. It prevents fake injury -- HokieToph 03/22/2022 4:00PM

Good point. -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 4:08PM

The incentive would be to try to get a turn -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 7:07PM

It’s not easier to score points from neutr -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 10:39PM

I meant it that's in terms of my hypothetical ruleset -- Hikinghokie 03/23/2022 12:28AM

I've said it for years. Riding time stops on a top stall call until ... -- HokieToph 03/22/2022 3:25PM
