Refs should be paid more

Tragic. Post Covid the quality of officiating, at least at the high school level, has really deteriorate. Officiating a day long tournament is a tough job. Some are just not up to the task.

My grievances are the inconsistencies in making calls; and being out-of-position to make critical calls.

In the world of Covid, wrestling has lost some good officials.
 
Huh? The kid was flat and counting lights with those eyes in the back of his head.

Like how the ref hitches up his pants after the match while trying to figure out what in the hell the corner is complaining about.

Looks like he gave the kid an adult xtra four count of being stuck before finally calling the nipfall.
 
I think the ref may have just found the way to improve action. No wrestler gonna choose down with his new rule (so no boring stall rides), and in the first period the fur is gonna fly to try and get first takedown.....err, pin... At the least, if you get taken down, won't be any stalling by bottom guy. Ref deserves a trophy.

Now you know why the PA guy reads that stupid little rant before events.

Heaven forbid that anyone questions a call by crap refs.

It's been bad for years and is clearly getting worse. Some, no most, are too arrogant to admit they called something wrong.
 
I heard he waved off the pin and awarded 3 nearfall and the kid still lost because of it. And yes his son is on the navy team
 
It is killing me to find out if this was the actual end of the match or if the mistake was corrected and there was a re-start from referee's position?
if not, shame on the other wrestler, but mostly the opposing coach for not speaking up.
