Uncontrolled high bridge? - 02/12/02 04:48 AM
I have seen this rule utilized three different ways this season.
1) Break the hold, stop the match and award the number of earned back points. (2 for less than 5 and 3 for 5 or more seconds)
2) Break the hold, stop the match and award an automatic 3.
3) Break the hold, stop the match and award the back points plus a bonus 1 (ie. the "Cry baby" rule.)
Number 2 appears to be accurate after I read the rules but it does not seem fair either. If it is a potentially dangerous situation and it occurs 1,2,3, or 4 count(s) after the wrestler has been placed on his back then I would think that only 2 points should be awarded.
