Really bad call and Matt Brown is a $%&*

[TripNSweep 453]

I can't stand that attitude. The call was stupid the ref should have sent it to ot. Let the wrestlers decide.

Wrong.  One of the best ref'ed matched I've seen with all the right calls.  Wilps lost the match pretty much because he quit wrestling.

It was a crappy match but why is Brown a _____? I thought his interview was extremely classy. He could've just said he was happy and moved on but he acknowledged it was a shtty ending to such an important match.

Agree completely a ref who called it right and wasn't afraid.

The calls were terrible!!! Why should the sport of wrestling or a title match outcome be left to video review.  

[LemonPie 1,368]

Wilps should have dove for the carpet

[TripNSweep 453]

Brown said what goes around comes around. To me that's just not classy.

Ummm, because the right calls ended up being made?  It would be worse if Brown ended up losing the title match because of an incorrect call.

I think the ref saw it and was trying to send it to OT. But when you have a challenge you have to make the call if it's there and it was pretty clear.

He just came off the mat. Probably just meant that sometimes things go for you and sometimes they go against you.

He was just saying that sometimes luck goes your way and sometimes it doesn't.

[TripNSweep 453]

I took it as a dig over losing to Perry. Perry didn't need the ref to help him though.

I took it as "Sometimes you eat the bear ....

[John79 12]

problem was the locked hands was clear as day, but i still dont care, i wanted it to go to OT. i bet the way brown won will gnaw at him. he may not admit it but no one wants to win on a technicality.  

[RAMONHALE 1]

Video review does not take into account reaction time!!!

You probably took it wrong.  Win or lose, Brown's been one of the classiest guys in the sport during his career - right up there with the likes of Stieber, Kokesh, etc.

Cool story, moron

What is a "$%&*"?  Is this code for Mormon?

  I think he already said as much in his interview.   He seems like a stand up guy, the kind of person who will be a righteous LEO or member of the military.    Good luck to them both.

I thought Brown was classy. Why shouldn't lock hands be called? Locked hands is what was keeping Brown from escaping for 1. Either way it was over.

When he said "what goes around comes around" Brown was referring to his extremely tight loss in the finals 2 years ago to Perry.  He wasn't in any way referring to Wilps.

I wasn't implying he was referring to Wilps. It was obvious he was referring to his match two years ago. That was the whole point of his statement, that two years ago things didn't go his way and this year they did.

[WRfan1 142]

it sucks it ended that  way, but how do you not make that call, it was clearly locking.

I have been a huge critic of Matt Brown's wrestling style, but you can not criticize his character. That young man is rock solid.
