Are there any wrestling officials in here? (Or can we sneak over to the wrestling board?)
The one thing that seems contentious to me is the fact that the penalty was assessed after the match was signalled to be over (the handshake). I don't know what the wrestling rule is for infractions observed/committed before the end of the match but penalized after the end of the match, but it raises two lines of thought.
(1) If there is a 2nd official, why did the 1st official declare the match over without at least looking at the 2nd official? In football, the R will take a look around the field for yellow before ending a period/game.
(2) The only rule that I know like this is the basketball rule 2-2-4. Once you "declare" the game over, you can't go back and fix something.
