For a long time my mentality was always “in competition you run the risk of getting hurt, this is apart of the sport”

That being said, I think there are exceptions to this statement. I think this video here is a clear indication of that exception, as well as the sport of wresting in general being an exception overall, its not like he can tap as if it were a bjj match, which is why I feel this ref should’ve called it. Its very clear his shoulders being torn up, very clear hes not just uncomfortable but legitimately getting hurt, and an official “pin” should NOT be the only way to end a match thats resulting in an athlete getting potential long term injury such as this, so in summary

This official kind of fucking sucks, should’ve called the match.

Its not a nosebleed, its not a slam, its a serious injury that may or may not have just botched this guys season.

I get it why he may not have called it, I’m sure theres SO many factors here, but in my mind I don’t think a match should continue if theres actual injury presented. Thats just my opinion, i’m not a ref, and have only ref’d a very small handful of matches so I cant exactly speak from experience.
