"After further review, the call on the field stands. The runner's knee touched the ground before he lost possession of the ball."    That is quote that many sports fans often hear on Sunday afternoons throughout the NFL season. There is one important thing about that quote: the official explains the reason(s) for his ruling on the field.    Video replay has become an intricate part of athletics as we know them. Replays are widely used not only in the NFL, but also in the NBA and NHL. Replays have also been a major centerpiece in game shows and even some reality television. Just ask all the kids from The Real World.    In amateur wrestling, replay is only used at the international level. Like with the other sports, replay in wrestling has its good sides and its bad sides. We as Americans have seen many wrestlers possibly ripped off from a match due to replay, just like we have seen my beloved Detroit Lions ripped out of touchdowns by the technology. But that is a moot point.    But in cases where technology can be used to help further the advancement of a sport, or to make things more fair for all parties involved, one must learn to take the good with the bad.    But there is one bad in wrestling's replay that must be corrected.    Unlike in the NFL and NHL, wrestling officials are not required to explain their rulings to fans. In the NBA, replay is only used to determine if a shot had been attempted before the end of the first or second half.    Too often, wrestling fans and enthusiasts are left in the dark as to what is going on with the score, the ruling and the entire process in general. Let's face it, for the average sports fan, freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling can be confusing enough. Let us not push them further away by alienating them in a process that could ultimately help bring more fans together and create more discussion about our glorious sport.    How many times have us as fans been watching a flurry of scoring, see it scored one way on the mat, and see a totally different thing on the scoreboard after video replay? This is not to say that the scoring is wrong. In fact, it may be the correct scoring. But all video replays should be subject to a complete explanation to the fans in that arena who have paid a price to watch some of the greatest wrestling in the world.    I know that if I pay to see the Lions play, and a call is overturned, I want to know exactly what the officials saw in the replay to overturn the original call. Most of the time, they get it right.    The action of explaining replay calls to fans could also help lift a burden off the shoulders of officials. They would most likely be subject to less scrutiny by fans, coaches and the wrestlers competing in that match. This would make the officials more credible, instead of always having a cloud of doubt over their heads as to whether or not they are just trying to get a certain wrestler to the top of the podium.    There is one thing that must be done in order to make this system more effective. All replays must be shown to the fans. In the NFL, I will 20 different angles of a wide receiver's foot stepping out of bounds. In wrestling, we only ask for one angle, but that plea must begin to be heard.    Let the fans see the action in slow motion. Let the officials make the call according to the same replay that the fans see, and fans may be much more lenient on officials throughout the match in the long run.    RealProWrestling did an excellent job of this. There was one replay in the entire show. It took place during a match between Tim Hartung and Ryan Tobin.    The two wrestlers went out of bounds and one point was awarded to Hartung after the mat official ruled that Tobin had stepped out of bounds first. During the action, Tobin was able to throw Hartung, and after replay was reviewed, the call on the mat was overturned and Tobin was awarded a takedown. The replay was also shown and explained to fans, who then had a better understanding of the call.    In a match the way it is now, fans only get to see that action once, in fast motion, where it may appear one way. But if they do not see it in slow motion when the officials do, and a call is overturned, the word "screw-job" comes into play from rows A to Z.    Sure, there is going to be a Spike Lee, or Zadick (insert clinch comment here), in every crowd that never agrees with the other call, but as was stated before, one must take the good with the bad in moving forward.    It may be more costly to use a big screen and to connect a few cables and wires, but this is an effort that is worth it.    Bringing the sport of amateur wrestling closer to the fans, not only of wrestling but to those of sports as well, is a key element in building the overall mass popularity of this sport. Fans who do not understand a sport simply will not partake in the viewing of that sport. That is a fact.    Hopefully, with the growing popularity of wrestling in all ages and sexes, FILA will decide that maybe it is time to provide that connection with the fans and to let them know what the call is.
