Looks like he R's knee was hyperextended at the beginning, would a ref step in and penalize had that gone on longer?

Per rule 7-1-5 letter (o), this was an illegal hold/maneuver. Oftentimes we get asked why there is a second/assistant official in higher level tournaments such as the state finals series, and this would be a perfect example of why it is beneficial to have a second pair of eyes on the opposite side. "Other illegal holds/maneuvers include, but are not limited to: (o.): overscissors when pressure is applied against the joint which may cause hyperextension."

Do guys talk to each other as they wrestle?

[@trwaintime]

I'm guessin' not...given their ear protection(worn during most "regulation" matches)...and with the general shouting/encouragement of coaches/team mates...and with refs whistles and verbal calls...prolly wouldn't hear them anyway!?!
