After Pinning

Shostak · 08-05-2019, 01:24 PM

ITL 117 details how to pin a foe in HTH and how to break a pin, but it doesn't discuss what an attacker can do to a pinned opponent. I'm curious to learn what thoughts this forum might offer on what seems to be a vague area in the rules. Also, the rules state that the victim of a successful pin is helpless for two rounds. I don't recall ever watching a wrestling match in which a pinned athlete was dominated completely for 8 seconds before being able to attempt to break the pin. Would it not be more realistic to simply have the pin impose a DX penalty on the victim?
