No need to get into shape with replay

Huh? In soccer the stoppage time gets added to the match clock after the time expires (and the teams don't know exactly how much time is added, so the half could end suddenly at any time which is exciting. 

But longer periods and matches in wrestling would be the point. The replay stoppage time clock would work as a deterrent. It also takes away the idea of using challenges as lung timeouts.

There would be the same amount of wrestling if they did it like soccer, just as there is the same amount of soccer in a soccer match as if they stopped the clock for injuries and such.

What would happen if they kept time but only the officials could see it?

More action for sure.  Too many guys wait to do anything until there’s 20-30 seconds left in the period

It would be nice if there was a risk/reward scenario for the challenge. Whether it is a point, opponents choice of position or something else it would certainly make coaches be more selective with the brick toss.

I don’t really like penalizing the wrestler that much for a coach’s decision.  Maybe a stall warning at worst

I would be okay with replay going away in all sports.

99% of the time, replay decisions shut up the dissenters.  5 minutes is far too much time for wrestling. Football, maybe given the number of camera angles.
