Thanks richard for pointing out the rules regarding illegal and potentially dangerous moves. I just want to clarify my own original statement. I am not saying the kid wasn't actually being held in a choke/illegal hold, I wasn't there to witness the act. I also know that sometimes a kid will be wrestling and tell you "I can't breathe" well from having a bit of medical training if someone tells you they can't breath, they are talking so they truly are breathing. A good tight waist can make it feel like you can't breathe yet you are breathing.

If a kid is being held in an illegal hold or being choked out the official on the mat should stop the illegal/potentially dangerous move if there is one being applied.

Please can anyone clarify with me about a tap out rule. I have never seen any such rule in any wrestling rulebook.
