Will folkstyie ever figure it out?

While most of the match is from the feet . The possibility of exposure changes everything.

I am guessing they invented the shot clock to force action.  While I did not watch a ton of matches I never once saw a guy score when the shot clock was on him.  They just gave up the point.

In my opinion the refs stopped action too quickly at times just to put them back neutral and took away the scrambles.

The person on the clock scored several times throughout the weekend but definitely not the majority of the time

I don't care if they really scored but expected it to change the action and force them to try but they all wrestle conservative and smart.  No sense in forcing something to save one point when getting out of position costs you 2 on a takedown.

Wasn't the first Ramos/Dennis match 2-1 ALL on passivity points??  The penalty for passivity isn't sufficient to actually make the wrestlers wrestle..  Maybe putting one down after first warning for passivity would make them wrestle??  The fear of getting laced and TF'd might make them wrestle???

On the other mat it was Robby Smith and Coon and there were points aglore in that match. I always like people talking about how boring the big guys are and when it was side by side, man those big guys put on a show!!!!!! 5 point moves, guys going over the head and so on.

Certainly proved a point in at least that match that the big guys score points also

Don't tell that to the mosquito-weight population that doesn't understand gravity.

I love watching the dinkers, too; but there's not much match for mucho meat.

Is "folkstyie" a new style of wrestling that combines folkstyle and footsie?  

I had a styie once.  My folks put a warm compress on it for a couple of days.

What can I say, I slept a lot in school. I believe a styie is where pigs live.

  In High School a passivity call could work but having educated/experienced refs becomes even more important.   A push-out rule for HS would regress the sport.  Kids would be focusing on sumo "bull-rush" skills and less on actual technique.

A passivity call would work in high if uneducated fans guided by passion and belligerent coaches kept their one sided opinions to themselves and let the refs do their jobs.
