Sunday, April 26, 2009 5:36:16 PM "Sore loser, He must have gotten his ass kicked the whole fight." please take into consideration that it's the NCAA national college championship, for most wrestlers its the equivalent of the Olympics. |

Sunday, April 26, 2009 2:32:28 PM bah, that's nothing. The boasting was in horribly bad taste, but at least it ended in a shove. Fella could have grabbed him and hurt him far worse than merely making him fall on his butt.That acrobatic guy definitely did a good job in making him, and his team, look like non-nice individuals. HURRAY FOR SPORTS! |

Sunday, April 26, 2009 10:43:56 AM "The fight had 5 seconds left, and in that five seconds, there was no way Metcalf (in the black) could have caught up, so it was the same as say a sports team celebrating with 5 seconds left on the clock; typical, but rude."Informative. Very informative....

Saturday, April 25, 2009 2:57:13 PM >Neagleplease inform me how the HELL that was bad coaching!? on EITHER side. The coaches werent wrestling nor were they somehow forcing their wrestlers to do what they did.... but really, proceed to explain. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 11:46:47 AM Actually, the tradition in wrestling is to do a back-flip when you when any championship whether its states, regional, even the NCAA national championship. Especially that. So many wrestlers do a flip when they win. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 10:15:49 AM @mrpopenfresh He went after him becasue there was 5 secs left in the match and he was trying to still wrestle.Bad on both sides. You can be happy for a upset and running around the mat is fine but the summersault was unneeded but they guy in black should have kept his cool. Also after watching the video again and watching another video metcalf couldn't win he was down 3 points so very unlucky for him to win but at the same time neither should have acted the way they should.

Saturday, April 25, 2009 7:08:23 AM If this was just another match it might be considered show boating but this is it, the National championship, and it was a huge upset over probably the best wrestle in the country. He deserves to celebrate. And the whistle was blown before he started andy of his flips anyway. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 7:06:43 AM Caldwell Rocks, I was there when he won his first state championship, his parents were sitting behind us in the stands, and the second his match ended he ran right off the mat into the stands to hug them. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 4:16:53 AM He was wrong for pushing him................he should have kicked him in the nuts. People like that ruin the sport, whatever it may be. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 4:04:41 AM I'll give those who may be confused a quick rundown. The fight had 5 seconds left, and in that five seconds, there was no way Metcalf (in the black) could have caught up, so it was the same as say a sports team celebrating with 5 seconds left on the clock; typical, but rude. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 2:22:11 AM I don't know the rules, but judging by the referees trying to interfere before the clock reached zero, the foul or whatever ended the match. And it was already declared before the dude even started celebrating.So either the match was over and the guy in black was being a douche carrying on, or the match wasn't over and the red guy was being a dick. |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 1:31:35 AM Off-topic, the starting song is good."Scared" - Three Days Grace ...Gonna go listen to the full thing now. =D @ the wrestling: I don't know the technicalities, but...Cartwheel boy deserved being thrown. Although, if he did land it safely, it'd be pretty epic. XD |

Saturday, April 25, 2009 12:14:25 AM if he goes to cartwheel or backflip or whatever while he is still IN play...knock his ass down. That is showboating, which deserves punishment |

Friday, April 24, 2009 11:38:56 PM Totally Justified. Wrestlers work there @ss off to be the best.That guy should have put his blood sweat and tears into winning the match NOT on just by technicality. Definitely didnt prove he was a better wrestler IF he werent a woman that guy should have womped him in his face |

Friday, April 24, 2009 10:35:25 PM Honestly I feel he was justified to celebrate the way he did, you work hard to win at what you do and when you do your supposed to hold all that sweat, blood and tears in so you can make the other guy feel better. Nah I would have done the same the other guy should have took it better, he went running after him almost immediately that is poor sportmanship. I have been beaten and seen some ungoldy displays of celebrations, but when I beat someone then guess what it is my turn. |

Friday, April 24, 2009 9:04:32 PM Poor sport, he started going after him almost immediatly. Is the guy supposed to stay placid in his victory? It definitely dosen't justofy his somersault, but that can't be considered over the top. |
