We have discussed rule changes many times. Push out rule similar to freestyle would be at the top of my list. One thing that caught my attention again this weekend while watching my son wrestle was the "tap out." Saw 3 separate matches where a kid was on his back and the Ref had to stop the match because the wrestler " tapped out."
One kid was certainly not faking it as he got chin whipped and put into an assassin type hold. He was being joke out, the other 2 matches. The holds where tight no doubt. For example one kid got caught in a Cow Catcher. The other I do not remember, but the point is. All three matches were stopped while a kid was on his back in a legal hold.
One match, the out come was reversed due to the kid getting off his back and a restart given. Now I fully understand the safety issue. The Ref has to stop the match. The rule though should be. The match is over and a pin is awarded.
