Suudy - Welcome back to the mats. I would disagree that not much has changed but that is a different topic.

Overpowered - He just can not get out or move because of the strength of his opponent. If he is looking to get out but is stuck in place by his opponenet, the head turns, the eyes turn, the shoulder moves a little, but he dosn't go anywhere. He is overpowered. This is a judgment, more by feel than by objective criteria. Face down or face up doesn't make any difference.

Bridging out of bounds is leaving the mat to avoid wrestling. This is a TV, unless, near-fall has been earned in this situation. The offended wrestler gets either the point(s) from the TV or the near-fall he has earned but not both.

Blood/Injury
Bleeding - a continuous flow of blood from a wrestler.
If near-fall is imminent, stop the match, award 2NF.
If a 2NF has been earned, award 3NF.
If a 3NF has been earned, award a 4NF.
What was a stoppage point last year is now included in the NF award.
Use your judgment. A fleck or spot of blood would not be bleeding. A puddle or smear (big enough to be seen by the fans)would be. Somewhere in between is where you have to make that decision. Once you decide it is bleeding, the match stops there.
