I've discussed my issue with this with you before. Everyone was playing under those rules back then and by changing them, you can alter behavior. It's happening every other sport I've watched from football, to baseball, to NASCAR, etc.

It's one of the reasons why I never compare different errors, I'll give you an example baseball. I grew up a Cincinnati Reds fan in the 70s and I believe that their athletes would beat the 27 Yankees back in the day. Just because of improvements in training etc.

I think a team of baseball players now would beat them back in the day, I mean the Reds. But what I don't like is when people use the new statistics they try to analyze a time that didn't depend on those statistics. Everyone is looking at this the same way so management decisions are based off of these new stats.

Back then, they didn't do that, so the players and the managers were all playing under the same assumptions

Changing how you look at things, changes the thing.

PSU went 5/5 already , this team is better.
I get what you are saying but I do not think it applies in this situation.

And even if it did, it would work in the other direction. By doubling the value of all bonus you make it more important, encouraging wrestlers to go for bonus more often in 2025 than you did in 1992.

I was always a fan of alec Bradley's as well man i can't wait to golf
I am not a fan of Alec Bradley cigars, however, I can appreciate them because of the reputation he has built in the tobacco world. I also think that Gurkha, even though the cigars are good, but not great, are a little over priced for the quality. I am just not a fan for some reason. I know someone that only smokes Gurkha. I do not understand it, however, I guess it all comes down to ones pallet.

Exactly , changing the rules will change behavior. That's why I just go by the straight up numbers. Joe Namath set an almost unbelievable passing record, I believe that you're the Jets won Super Bowl three. If I'm not mistaken, it was 4007 yards passing. That's been eclipsed multiple times due to changes in rules for offense and defense, coaching, and an advancement in various techniques.

But those things aren't the same. It wasn't a rule change that affects behavior it was an accounting change. If the NFL now credited QBs with two yards for every yard then it would be equivalent.

It would only cross over into fantasy if I attempted to de-inflate PSU's bonus scores to account for the difference between a 2 point TD and a 3 point TD. In theory you could do that for major decisions if you choose to ignore that a match would be wrestled different as a barrier is approached. But tech falls are problematic. They prematurely end a match and there is no way to account for what would have happened had the match not ended earlier. It could have ended as a major, or the wrestler could have kept pressing to get the tech, or with the extra time afforded he may have secured the pinfall. For that reason I have never wasted time attempting that.
Iowa 's rescore is not factyal,as the claims made by Iowa fans and Tom Ryan are not. No sense in me continuing this it's only opinion "s.

a lot of rule changes!! Mel Blount rule - pass interference. Seldom did you see someone go across the middle. Heck you have the number of games played, radios in helmets. NFL like many sports - change the rules constantly and comparisons shouldn't happen.
