Double Overtime

Double Overtime

I have seen about seven or eight double overtime matches and I think about four of them weren’t won by the referee. 

How did the ref win the match?

The ref called stalling on the top guy for one of two reasons.

The first one is when the top guy was just riding the guy out of bounds, which I looked up and I thought it was true and it was, that’s not illegal in double overtime.

The second one is when the top man just threw in the legs and rode parallel to the bottom guy witch I figured out was also legal in double overtime.

I think it is a rip off for both the wrestlers and the fans.

The wrestlers because they were having a great match and they didn’t get too decide who won.

The fans because they didn’t get the excitement of the match.

I would really hope that refs stop calling stalling in double overtime.

It is okay if it is in the first overtime and a guy is just backing out and backing out.


Sincerely, Big Mac
