I can see a free release at 3 mins, that pretty much guarantees riding time. But that shifts the dynamic of the match for someone that is dominant on top, but meh on their feet. Or if someone is sitting on a lead and just burning clock.
me and willie are awfully close to being simpatico here.
adopt the free release after 30 (or 45 or 60) second ride, rather than the RT point at the end. more action during the match!
If we were going this route, I'd just rather see a full change to freestyle and forget riding. That would benefit us for international wrestling too.
