Henson loses 2-1, no TDs in the match.

That was frustrating. Why was Henson put on the clock in the 2nd?
Still learning but it looked like Caleb was attacking albeit the shots weren't threatening.

it's called keeping center and freestyle refs prioritize it over actual
motion. You can be the guy rotating around the guy standing in the center of the circle as you look to create angles and you will get dinged for passivity. It's the ridiculous part of freestyle that I struggle with because it isn't wrestling.

the rulebook actually says you have to call passivity at some point....
and if you're not sure on who, then just "pick one"... Maybe not in those words, but that's the gist of it. I think if you fix that, and criteria then freestyle would be pretty fun...

freestyle reffing. I do not like freestyle.

Freestyle is weird and it's not called the same as stalling
But I hate that so much. Caleb was the only one that wanted a takedown. Feels like he was the better guy in both the open and wtt finals.

freestyle passivity and the definition of passivity are antonyms at times

Exactly - made no sense - he was offensively aggressive the entire time.

This is the type of wrestling that makes me sick of the sport

There’s a lot of other things you can watch if it makes you sick.

It was awful - feel so bad for Caleb -
he appeared visibly upset. Sucks. Zain got that one push out while on activity clock. Caleb took so many shots. Level changes, duck attempts, super duck etc… Zain is so strong literally just stayed in the middle & downblocked or head pinched the entire match. Bummer.
