Answer 1

Bam NEELY!!!

whenever he looses a match he cries

he needs to learn How to Suck it up  

Answer 2

Yeah that was pathetic. He should just have been satisfied he even got a medal. Now he's disqualified and has NO medal.

Answer 3

Yes, there is always someone complaining. Mick Foley is upset because Vince talks in his ear while he's announcing. Well he should just get over it, he's had his ear chopped off and he can't take a voice in his ear!? JBL is whining about his back, but he refuses to retire. As much as I like Rey Mysterio, he was whining because WWE wasn't paying him enough to sit out injured half of his career! Granted, it's a tough job, but they should just keep their thoughts to themselves.

Answer 6

Yes, I do, many of them, esp the idiot Swede who threw away his medal.

Answer 7

From what I saw on the video and reading the discussions, Ara Abrahamian was in a position to win the second period, and after the period expired and the mat judge awarded him 1 point giving him the match, a side judge overruled the mat judge stating that Abrahamian fleed the mat (which awards his opponent 1 point, and due to his opponent scoring, removes the point he got for not being scored on in the last 30 seconds of the match.)

Greco-Roman wrestling is a best of 3 rounds

Match timeline:

Italian wrestler wins' the first round due to the fact he was in the down position last and scored the last point in the round (it was a 1-1 tie both scoring points in the same method) He was put in the advantage position either by coin toss, or receiving less warnings in the first minute of the match.

In the second round, Abrahamian scored just before the 1 minute mark, meaning the italian would be down first at the 1 minute mark. After 1:30 (and at one point the italian's body being half way off the mat while trying to defend) the Italian was awarded a point for not being scored on. Ara just had to not be scored on for 30 seconds in order to get a point as well, giving him the round. At the end of the second round, the mat judge appears to award Ara one point for not being scored on.

A side judge then ruled that Ara flee'd the mat (he had one hand out of bounds which is allowable under the rules and much less out of bounds than his opponent had earlier in the round) and despite protests frome the swedish coach, the Italian was awarded the match.

What should have happened was a third round to break the tie.

Ara shook the hands of his fellow competitors on the medal stand (in my opinion showing them respect), and then to show his protest for what had occurred laid his medal in the middle of the mat and left the venue.

To me this is not being disrespectful, this is protesting what occurred, and I see no issue with his actions.

As a background in 2004 Ara won the silver, and some reports I am reading state that the referee who reffed his match was suspended for 2 years for taking bribes in the match. I have not found a credible source documenting this.
