I'm sorry if you've been asked this before but, when many matches are going on simultaneously, how do you determine which one you will record?

[@MidwestWrestle]

No need to apologize, it is a fair question that I receive somewhat regularly. I don't have a formal list of criteria, but typically it comes down to whether I'm acquainted with either of the wrestlers, or at least aware of their record, and if neither is the case, then it is essentially random. Admittedly, it is a constant struggle to decide because each choice is a gamble. Once I make my decision, I'm essentially stuck with that match even if it later turns out that an adjacent match is more exciting, because if I do abandon a match, I would have to abandon the footage as well since most viewers understandably don't want to watch partial matches. That does happen from time to time, but I try to keep it to a minimum.

The green wrestler seems simply outclassed.

[@raykincaid]

That was intense.

[@JosephWatkins]

I wouid habe like to have seen that called a slip at 1:00 minute mark?.

[@Deeskiii762]

Thank you Nima, good way to eat breakfast

[@chrismeyers1607]

Is that okay for stripe's to be grabbing yellow's face strap, elbowing him in the head and hyper-extending his shoulder like that??????

[@lordeverybody872]

Both the ref was allowing it. It was def poor sportsmanship on Perellas' behalf

[@jonathanfoe1]

At 4min, did Kirchner get a deduction for unnecessarily hitting his opponents head? If not, he should have.

[@ruelnicholas8317]

I said the same thing I never saw that before it looked dirty..the tactic

[@MidwestWrestle]

@@jonathanfoe1 No, the referee raising his green fist in the air and two fingers with his red hand indicates that he is assessing a fourth stalling penalty on green and awarding red two points as a result.

[@Bluman504]

Damn that's messed up. If it was me I woulda head butted stripes with the back of my head. Shame on that ref!

[@DexxterThatGuyy2442]

Wow

[@lordeverybody872]

Austin Perella, poor sport. wouldn't be surprised if the other team were waiting for him.
