Tell my kid to stop screaming like a bvtch because he's about to be pinned.

Lol! As a ref, I am appalled at the number of top youth wrestlers who use this technique; even saw it from one of last year's AA when he was 14.

I had my own way of handling it. I would blow the whistle and stop the match; then I would call the pin, explaining that he was pinned before he started crying and before I had time to slap the mat.

Please tell me where i said that was acceptable behavior.

Let's get this straight… Who do you really think was the moran in that video? (You said the ref earlier in the thread.)

I think it was the whiney kid's father. The ref did nothing wrong, imo. The father of little porker piggers does not belong in the venue. He actually PUT HANDS ON his son's opponent in the middle of a match.

And you want to talk about the ref……

Back in the early 90's, when Cr Jefferson and Cr Prairie wrestling meets use to be pretty big deals and heated events, a similar thing happened. Prairie kid was working a tough arm bar, the Jefferson kid screamed out before he went over. The ref stopped the match, the Jefferson crowd was booing and yelling, thinking PD should have been called. Prairie fans and coaches didn't know why it was stopped. They restarted the match and the Prairie kid went right back to the arm bar, the Jefferson kid started screaming again, the ref let the action continue. All of a sudden the Jefferson kid's dad comes running out of the crowd and charges the mat. Somebody grabbed him before he was able to get to the wrestlers. Chaos insued and the dad was hauled out by security. I honestly don't remember how the match ended or if the match even continued.

I remember sitting outside one day as a teen with neighborhood kids, goofing around. A boy in my youngest sister's class ran up to her and punched her. (They were middle school kids and I figured he must really like her.) Anyway, my sister was shocked and started to cry. She looked at me, expecting support and I told her to go kick his azz. She turned around and popped him in the nose and chased him home.

The point is, it wasn't time for me to jump into that spat. Things could have went different and I would have been forced to intervene, but Shana kicked his butt back up 3rd Ave all the way home and I still see that as an important day in her personal development.

IF the kid was truly hurting, the dad certainly "paused" his concern an instant after the 2nd shove and he realized what he'd done. He never even looked back down at his kid and just went into flee mode off the mat. Makes it seem like there's a history of this behavior.

And the ref. As others noted earlier, she seemed to give the whiner every benefit of doubt the whole match (stalling on top? The coin flip oddity? Very slow in rewarding pts for 'red'). Kid looked decked at the squeal but she's counting from other side.

LOL The father reminds me of George Castanza throwing the elderly lady and kids out of the way while fleeing an apartment he set on fire.

I think that is the best way to deal with that scenario. Do you know if that is taught to resf or just something that you came up with?

I just came up with that on my own. I remember discussing the subject during training, but I don't remember what was said -- there was no statewide "best practices" for the situation.

Theoretically it's back points plus one when you have to stop; but I am particularly unsympathetic to this situation. If he's injured, then he's done, anyway. If he's not injured, then the match shouldn't have been stopped and he probably would have gotten pinned. So there's really no good argument that it's "fair" for the kid to get a re-start just because he "felt pain."

Was that Sans?

Sans' kids would never get turned with such a simple move.

Saw this in Foley's Mailbag...bout the only thing worth reposting. Two adult men came on the mat to push the top wrestler off and he was about to pin a kid who was crying out (but still fighting to get off his back).
I would be very embarrassed if I was the kid.

Did I really just see that? SMDH

Still cant answer my question can you. Ill ask again show me where i said it was ok for the father to do what he did. You cant so you switch gears and blast me for calling out the ref. You must not read threads in their entirety obviously or you would have seen i backed off on my comment on the ref in a response to Az. Clearly youre looking for a fight here.

If'n you gots something to say, hurcuhawk, just says it.
