Throw??? LOL! The guy shot a double and had the kid up in the air too deep, lost his balance and both FELL backwards onto the one kid's back!!! The kid immediately rolled and got out btw. If it would have been folkstyle there would have been zero points (no control) AND it's possible the kid (supposedly doing the throwing) gets hit with a slam penalty point. Not sure about that though because both wrestlers were out of control and it was not intentional. And FYI to others so that they don't have to go through the same, boring first 2.5 minutes of basically nothing. The "throw" (fall) happens at about the 3 minute mark.

Btw, what's with the ref frisking each kid before each period???

He's making sure the upper bodies are dry for grappling. With 2 minute periods those guys can get pretty sweaty and if they don't towel off between periods would be tough for anybody to score.

or maybe somebody pulled a WWE "foreign object" out during the last match and he's taking precautions. :D

I have to agree. It didn't look like much of a throw to me. I think both wrestlers were completely surprised by the outcome. Back when I used to coach a little freestyle it was common to send the wrestlers to the opposing coaches' corner to get toweled off. The assumption was the coach would do a good job of toweling the guy off and there could be no coaching going on during that break in the action.

Launching 285 isn't going to be graceful. Your point about folkstyle doesn't matter, because its not folkstyle. The comment at the bottom of the page lists the time in which the throw happens.

Frankly, i don't think your post is anything but a flame. Please show me the ruling of a "slam" in freestyle from the rules book.

Sorry - Only wrestled Freestyle ONCE in college, so I don't claim to be an expert. With that being said I am however very experienced in what constitutes a "THROW" by most anyone's definition. That clearly was NOT a "throw", but a Double Leg to a pathetic fall. If you consider that a "throw" then quite frankly it has to be the lamest throw I've ever seen! Sorry to offend, but that video/match is lame!!!

So, you have no clue that there isn't "Slams" in freestyle, but, you somehow know that it's a lame "Throw" with out understanding freestyle rules.

Bottomline is the kid was trying to get a touch fall, and did, not a "Pathetic Fall". His objective was to get a touch fall, and he made that happen.

Everything you posted is completely incorrect besides your opinion of what is considered a throw. Is it a "Throw" no, not in the common sense, is it a 285 guy being put head over heals to a touch fall, yes, but that doesn't exactly work for a title on a wrestling website.

Wrestling Addix - you can belittle me all you want, the fact remains that the video you posted is not a throw! Yes, one of the goals for each wrestler is to get a touch fall as you mentioned. But, in that instance BOTH wrestlers were out of control and FELL. In fact if you look at the video afterwards, both wrestlers look a bit confused as to the outcome because they both didn't have a clue what had just happened.

I never said I didn't understand Freestyle rules either, I just haven't been following it much. One would think if I wrestled in college that I would have SOME idea of what's going on in Freesyle eh???

You even admit to fluffing up the title to get attention. The worst part is you could have picked a gazillion other videos on YouTube that would have been much more interesting and impressive if you wanted the attention.

Go ahead and rip into me some more if you wish, I don't give a rat's behind. The fact of the matter is the video speaks for itself. Just remind me NEVER to take your recommendation on any up and coming movies - lol!
