The weight class sure has changed from 1984. I was 234 pounds and had to wrestle kids that were 320 and some were heavier than that. It is better now. Heavy's have to cut weight, do the same workouts as the lower weights and have to have a superior game. Congrats to Greg on his historic run up to this. He fought all the way and was a superior athlete. Nothing against the other top ten, they are stellar athletes.
Not sure about the other matches but I didn't see him stalling much in this one. He's getting worked on bottom but even then he is knee sliding, crawling forward, and finding his base relatively consistently throughout. On the feet he looks decently active for a HWT. I think the stoppages broke up the match to his benefit as well. Wouldn't have been crazy for the ref to ding him him at some point but I think no stalling is very reasonable.
He was stalling. At times I think referees just let it slide when there is zero points on the other side. I as a ref, would have called him twice, just standing around, not shooting or initiating any offense.

Man those singles where slick I didn’t know Kerk’s top game was that nasty either

Why didn,t they call Schultz for stalling in several matches, the rules do & should apply to ALL Wrestlers !!!
Because he’s fat

Be interesting to see these 2 in a Greco-Roman match.
Because the refs aren’t that strict towards fat people

Glad to see he got what he deserved, camera from facebook after seeing how Schultz almost choked another wrestler
