Free vs Folk

[a_mshaffer]

all true, but some subjectivity would show up due to Sumo influence

I guess we've given up on the prospect of Refs calling stalling on guys who consistently back up and then play the edge? Right?

If that's the case then a pushout point in folk could be the answer.

Are we ever going to run out of horses to beat?

 

[FatWoodchuck]

Not until folk gets more action and less stalling.

Not as long as each side sees the other horse trying to stand up.

OK. One Question: Should I beat the horse Freestyle or Folkstyle?

The most egregious misscall in folk is fleeing the mat, or lack thereof, IMO

Late in matches refs dole them out like popcorn everytime a wrestler is forced to the edge and is pushed out with his back towards the OB, many times the call decided the match..

In contrast nearly every dual I have ever seen, if not most individual matches is the more frustrating example. The offensive wrestler hits a single near the edge and the defensive wrestler is clawing, kicking, reaching for the OB if not the end of the mat to touch the floor and it's crickets. Frustrates the hell out of me. No call 90% of the time, while the entire arena witnesses a guy who's effort is focused on nothing but fleeing the mat

I don't know if I am all the way there for pushouts in folk, but god help me let's see some fricking consistency and a marked increase in fleeing the mat/stalling at the edge.

That's not true. They almost always call a token one with 7-20 seconds to go when everyone knows he isn't calling it again.
