is being able to tap out new for wrestling? i wrestled for a lot of years and never seen a tap out

[EASTONWRESTLE]

It must be, I never used to see it either. But it seems nowadays that sometimes a wrestler gets in big trouble and then signals a 'tapout" the ref stops the match for "injury time". I understand the refs predicament, they have to for fear of real injury, but the abuse is rediculous anymore. I wish the refs could be allowed to use their best judgement and if they find it was a ploy on the part of the wrestler to get out of the "pin" then it should be an automatic fall. Just my opinion.

sometimes ill tap in practice to let them know if im pinned or there running something and its causeing accute pain

@EASTONWRESTLE It happens to me all the time when i cradle kids they'll tapout because theyre about to be pinned.

God how the sport of wrestling has mutated for the worst. back in the day of true catch as catch can wrestling, you could lose a match via pinfall, or submission. Nowadays, submissions arent allowed and any position that looks semi dangerous is stopped right away. that being said, with all of these rules in place now, if you tap out, I feel like you should lose automatically.

I actually witnessed a kid tap out at a meet. the other guy basically was pinning him with an arm triangle.

the dude was probably cranking his neck, illegally, and the coach was too stupid to see it. he had the pin anyway.

Im sorry I have been a victim to that rule during 1 of my HS matches against Sayville and so have 2 other of my teamates at my same meet. Screaming rules and tapping rules are abosulte BS. I had my kid cradled up and pulled him back he was totally pinned. The kid starts to scream and the ref stops gives me 4. The kid stands up 100% fine. Im sorry the sport of wrestling while I still love it is no-longer a tough man sport when its not a big competition. You don't see this kinda crap at states!!!!
