The whole “holding center” thing is absolute garbage. A wrestler can be completely passive while “holding center”, while the other guys takes multiple shots and gets put on the clock. Absurd.

Depends. Is the wife in the car?Where you drive...does yellow mean speed up or prepare to stop?
Holding the edge is sooooooo much better.The whole “holding center” thing is absolute garbage. A wrestler can be completely passive while “holding center”, while the other guys takes multiple shots and gets put on the clock. Absurd.

I think of RBY style vs Iowa style. Iowa tries to tie the opponent up and push, push, push. RBY likes to attack from space and use his quickness. I don’t think RBY holds the edge at all. RBY’s style is rewarded in Folk and Iowa’s style is rewarded in Free.Holding the edge is sooooooo much better.
I think you’re dramatically oversimplifying. Watch Starocci, Brooks, DT, Nick, . All of them are very good stalkers, no matter the style. They take ground, keep you off balance and, in Freestyle, generate a ton of 2 and 4 point offense off of the “peril” they put their opponents in at the edge. Even Gilman has increased the 2’s he gets with the guys he drives to the edge.I think of RBY style vs Iowa style. Iowa tries to tie the opponent up and push, push, push.

I prefer RBY’s style and Folk.
green means go yellow means go faster red means go really fast per Starman.Where you drive...does yellow mean speed up or prepare to stop?
My point is this…the guys you mentioned take ground AND are aggressively taking shots as well. However, in Free, a guy can control center AND be passive in their offense and STILL get rewarded. That is the kind of wrestling I dislike.I think you’re dramatically oversimplifying. Watch Starocci, Brooks, DT, Nick, . All of them are very good stalkers, no matter the style.

Compare all that to the last two Brooks vs Hidlay folkstyle matches. I’d love to see Aaron to wrestle Trent again in Free—it would not be pretty.
Too many think green means stop to see if it turns red before moving forward through the intersection.green means go yellow means go faster red means go really fast per Starman.
It can happen, sure (Chance might fit the bill a little this last weekend). With the step-out rule, the edge is much more of a thing, and some people will use it for "negative wrestling."My point is this…the guys you mentioned take ground AND are aggressively taking shots as well.

I would just like to see Trent wrestle Aaron one time in folk - it would not be pretty!Compare all that to the last two Brooks vs Hidlay folkstyle matches. I’d love to see Aaron to wrestle Trent again in Free—it would not be pretty.

Not interested in either, I prefer evenly contested battles.I would just like to see Trent wrestle Aaron one time in folk - it would not be pretty!
Everyone is allowed to have an opinion about the sport.I will give you my opinion as long as diggerpup stays out of this thread. 😂
Years back i made a comment about freestyle and heard from him. Now i just let other posters complain about freestyle.
I understand your point and get your frustration . My guess is and i am guilty of it is we are all passionate about wrestling and PSU wrestlers. So when something does not go “your way” or a rule seems dumb and it affects an outcome we post hastily and probably do not always think things through. We just start bitching and complaining ever though we know the rules ahead of time. I think most are folk style guys and get irritated with freestyle rules. Just my guess.Everyone is allowed to have an opinion about the sport.
But why do posters pop into freestyle event threads to bitch about freestyle?
That's akin to an atheist running into Sunday Mass & yelling he doesn't believe in God.
(hyperbole, I admit)
It's not the time or place.
