Why is it that the loud buzzer in this video seems to coincide with match action...yet in other videos it seems to randomly sound? Excellent videography too! Thanks for ya'lls effort!

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you for the kind words! This was a smaller event with only two mats operating concurrently. Most tournaments that I film myself run dozens of mats concurrently, hence the buzzers coming from all directions.

[@TheIcecypherAnimation]

They are in the same weight class!? Yellow is slightly taller, but he is thin, while blue is made of muscles. I could feel yellow's pain whenever blue grabbed him and smashed him on the floor. 😔

[@marsthaone2846]

Good work! What camera are you using???

[@wrestlingspot]

It was a Lumix GH5

[@BettyByte]

Midwest Wrestle, it's great having you on the other side of the camera! Such a smooth professional in that role as well. Wonder, though, if you agree that at 5:51/5:52 Jack's right shoe does go outside the line briefly. Should that have negated the takedown/near fall? Obviously you didn't have a clear view of the offending foot.

[@MidwestWrestle]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I sincerely appreciate that. Great question! If the foot did make contact with the hardwood floor and I had seen it, then I would have awarded the takedown and immediately blown the whistle, effectively negating the near-fall.

@ 1:36 Anderson like "nahhh, not today!". Had to watch slow mo to see why he didn't get two there.

[@belamoure]

who won Anderson the blue guy or McGowean the yellow one.

[@jllee9189]

Blue was treating yellow like a rag doll. Tall skinny guys have a great disadvantages against short muscular guys.

[@jonathanfoe1]

Maybe you should have insisted the wear the red or green leg bands?

[@MidwestWrestle]

I asked for ankle bands. I was told, "They're stored really far away. You don't need them anyway."

[@rparl]

On the plus side, the team names were on the singlets.

@@josephfra2456 I wasn't feeling funny at the time, but I see why you said it. :)
