Imagine a headgear in your face for three minutes until the officials graciously ended the matter.<br /><br />Terry was trying to turn me when the first period ended (the old 3-3 format). During halftime, the refs decided he had scored points on the move, awarded them and ended the match by technical fall. I have never been so happy.<br /><br />Terry was a different matter. He was fuming that he would only get 3.5 points for a tech and not 4 for a pin, demanding the refs change their mind and let him pin me. I can't remember if he ever acquiesced to a handshake, but I was amazed at the sight of this kid being held back by his coaches as he yelled, "I need to pin him" and lunged toward my corner.<br /><br />I love this sport.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006391651386521809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013796457937538757.post-79124308528530842182010-11-25T09:44:00.124-08:002010-11-25T09:44:00.124-08:00Good to hear from you, Rob.
