The refs were solid overall, but had some inconsistency, particularly calling the "cradle takedown" the first time then NOT calling several near-identical situations. To be fair, it was cross-mat and the camera didn't have the best angle, but the first TD call seemed to have been in error. I also didn't understand why they called an illegal hold on the 215 match, but again, cross-mat with a low-def camera in bad lighting.

Also, it was pretty clear that a lot of people in chat and the commentators weren't aware of the new rule regarding tech-falls and pinning situations. One of the refs definitely fell for the "Don't call stalling all match, then suddenly get stall happy with seconds left on the clock" tendency. The people in the live chat claiming a rigged match or "home-cooking" need to check their bias at the door, as several big calls also went against Orting.

Thanks to the Washington Wrestling Network for streaming/commentating and thanks to Orting/Toppenish for giving us an exciting dual!
