"Overtime a Better Way?"

"Overtime a Better Way?"

Well, in my mind, I think the overtime system that we have stinks.

Instead of just 1 minute periods and going by first takedown they should go two minutes and at the end of them whoever is in the lead wins.

The referee should also flip his coin so they don’t automatically start on their feet.

As far as double overtime goes, this should be "one minute; first one to get a takedown wins".

Then if no one gets a takedown since they have been wrestling for nine minutes already, as much as everyone hates doing it, they should come up with some kind of criteria system.

I hope to see this system used in the future.

 
Sincerely, Big Mac
