Why do you think 90% of wrestlers choose down??

They need the point if they can get it...
I'm not lost on the point, but it's boring and keeps people from liking the sport, and it flies in the face of "action".
And at a minimum they need to make the standing ride a call for neutral. Keep the disadvantaged wrestler down and I can agree that you have to have been a wrestler to understand it. But if you let the guy get up and all you are, essentially, is a zit on his ass, well I have HUGE issues with that.
And back to the holding on to an ankle while you get dragged, and that's worse...
And last, you get one chance to have the circle's edge save you, after that it's fleeing... I get the tactic, I used it, but it's wrong and not a good thing.. Reward the guy who stay in the middle and invites a match, and penalize the guy who's willing to run out of bounds to save his ass..
