Wrestlers please clear the mats.
Please raised and honor America with the playing of our national anthem.

"Tweet!"

Does onomatopoeia count?

"Two, takedown!"

TeachFisch · February 26, 2015, 11:08:28 AM

"Stance and Motion, Stance and Motion"

My Son's on the other hand is what he heard at a high school dual this year from the stands, not sure how it fits wrestling, but someone yelled at the top of their lungs behind us, "Rip his gizzard out". Don't think I ever heard that one before LOL!

My least favorite...

"How do we seed the tournament?"

or

"We won the last match in the dual to win by 1, that kid really came through."

My favorite, "clear the mats!"

My sons coaches would always say "wrestle here" I have know clue what that means?

As a recovering basketball player, I always viewed the "wrestle here" advice as don't give up the takedown, or, keep battling on the edge, or keep moving and working on the bottom...There are a lot of times when even the most experienced and capable wrestlers give up on something too soon and then either give up points or don't get the points...

I recall a Team State Finals with a Coach on the other team yelling repeatedley, "rip on his shoulder" when the kid that was supposed to have his shoulder ripped on had injury defaulted out of individual state to 6th place due to a shoulder injury. Probably my least favorite words of wrestling to hear, repeatedley, above the noise of the Barn from across a mat.

I never expect to see a kid like to take a loss, but I always like to see a legitimate "nice match" after a tough loss from the kid, or the Coach of the kid, that took the loss.

"Roll through!" for me. Hate that. "Squeeze" might be tied for the most annoying. Even worse when it's elongated: "SQUEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!"

My favorites are watching little kids and they're always rolling around, changing control. "No! no! NOO!...YES! YES! YESSS!...... No, no, noooo!!!""
