No. It’s more risky, but there’s also more reward. My point is that it doesn’t really change anything and does nothing to increase the frequency of attacks. You can now score an early takedown and have 2 stall calls to play with which is too bad since the number one issue in the sport in my opinion is refs refusing to call stalling. We have yet to see it be a major issue so far, but I expect we will see a lot of sitting on first period leads come conference championships and the NCAAs

.

What if someone scores a takedown off of the others offensive attack? It also makes offensive attacks more risky.

It’s also more risky to give up a takedown… I’m not sure that it actually encourages offense…

Score once and sit on a lead. This was already a problem and this makes it worse. This in no way guarantees that wrestlers will attack more frequently. It’s not rocket science.

Maybe next year.

One score and put the running shoes on! Great for the sport! This rule did nothing to solve stalling and boring matches… if anything, it will make it worse.

There is more room to stall with a lead. By increasing the value of a takedown, you’ve devalued everything else, including stalling points. It’s a lot safer to do nothing and fend off attacks than to risk being offensive, give up 3 on a go around, and blow a lead.

Just wait… by the end of the season that might change

I think we will look back at the 3 point takedown as a huge mistake. Guys already were getting one takedown and sitting on the lead for a win. Now you can do that even more. Get a takedown in the first, allow two escapes, get an escape of your own, and with a 2 point lead you can get 2 stall calls and win the match. The leadership behind this decision is f’ing stupid…. Not to mention they changed the one thing fans actually engage in; yelling TWOOOOO when there is a takedown.

3 point takedown is idiotic. You’ve now made it easier to get one takedown and ride out and sit on a lead.

I’m wondering what the response would be if a wrestler after the match just said “God isn’t real and people who believe in him are stupid.”

No reason this should take this long.

Reviews are taking too long
