I thought I'd let the heat die down a little before I posted. So, I post this a few days later...in hopes of rightfully applauding the match-up.
My son unfortunately drew the Megaman in the first round (and lost convincingly). So I speak without bias.
However, I was most impressed by the post-match sportsmanship. Megaman, was respectful when talking with the younger wrestler, and that speaks volumes for me. So, I accept whatever Megaman claims. It's too easy for the winning wrestler to puff up in post-bout conversations with the defeated wrestler. Especially when the superior wrestler handily defeats the lesser.
1grla: I've been frustrated (and too outspoken) on occassion as well. But, you must know that refing is tough. They're human, despite their best efforts to be above reproach.
1grla: You asked for observations, you received responses, intertain those results. I really don't believe you meant to take anything away from Megaman's victory...but you did (a) weaken your position, (b) demean the wrestlers, and (c) took away from their spectacular event. Ponder this...Should we snap on you for mistakingly demeaning the event in this string of posts?
Megaman: You won. WOW, it was a GREAT match! between two GREAT competitors! Both you and Millstead are incredibly talented, and my son benchmarks you both. Also, I admire your tactful reply when some one is unwittingly demeaning your victory.
