Amazing Wrestling Moves Thread

[Dogwelder]

Let's list memorable/crazy wrestling moves we've seen from the PSU team in this thread, so that we can later make a top-10 list (or video) from the list. If we have links to videos, that would be even better. (Tip: there is a way to link into the middle of a YouTube video.)

For example, I remember Nolf's pinning people with his legs, which was new and crazy when we first saw it. There was David Taylor's insane roll on a guy who was in deep on a double. (I think it was David Taylor.) [Edit: It was Nolf. Thank you, Nerfstate!] There was Bo with his Michael-Jackson limp knee out of Gabe Dean's leg attack. Etc. Etc. I can't find video on these easily.

Non-PSU crazy moves would be good, too, especially the very amazing ones (e.g., flying squirrel).

Here's summa my gifs (mostly just last year)

The one I wish I had was Nolf's "defense" of a beautiful double by Bethea at the Keystone open 2 years ago. And the Winn-Dixie now has plenty of examples, it will be hard to pick just one for the list.

2. Cenzo inside trip #1 vs. Martinez

4. Jason roll-thru double defense vs. Bethea

6. Andrew Alton headlock vs. Dutton
7. Q figure 4 headlock vs. Wilps
8. Bo spladle vs. Brooks
9. Frank smiling turk vs. Ness

I think the insane roll reference on a deep double was Adam Lynch. The Lynch Pin.

Ed Ruth pouring it on Hamlin in the 3rd period of the NCAA finals.

DT standing granby. Also DT flurry in the finals vs. Hatchett.

Zain's bow and arrow vs. Pantaleo at nationals, when he spun Pantaleo around the mat before cranking him over -- reminiscent of the legend of Schalles pinning guys on a specified spot on the mat.

Nico's scramble dump takedown vs. Gilman.

Good list, Jefe. Here's #10:

A Lehigh nightmare. I have raced to the edge, I am standing with 1 foot, sometimes 2 feet out of bounds like I suppose to do and I can't get the ref to blow his whistle. The other guy keeps scoring. Ahhh, I need to NC wake up. Now!

Edit: I can't get this gif to post--weird.

Let's Try This:

Bo off the top rope for a body slam to win 197 title!!!

I've seen someone score as many points at the edge of the mat when you think it's impossible to score as Taylor.

Good list, Jefe. Here's #10:

That was incredibly satisfying to see that goon Gravina get planted. The guy had spent the whole match slugging Nickal.

 

[jbolt1971]

Zain Bow and Arrow of Sorenson in NCAA Semi.

Does anyone have the Lego Nickal/Martain match? I cannot find it anywhere...

In the same light: the power half Zain put on Amine. Amine wasn't just going to his back, he was gonna pay and remember it.

If any of you has video of the Q figure 4 on Wilps, I'd love to see it.

 

[NoVa Lion]

If any of you has video of the Q figure 4 on Wilps, I'd love to see it.

That happened in a dual at Pitt so it would have to be video someone recorded themselves as I'm certain Flo didn't stream it.

I regret that Zain never got another go with DeLuca.

On the topic of power halfs, I apologize I couldn’t find a smaller clip, but here’s the complete match :

Seems like yesterday to me, showing just how fast life goes by...it happened in 2013!!!

Pitt likely erased all video evidence of its wrestling team after the Midlands incident.

 

[Ban Basketball]

Not a PSU wrestler, but one heck of a move, if you ask me!

 

[The Stan]

Not sure if I remember it right, but Nolf against Michigan a few years back..... He had the leg of his opponent high in the air, near the edge of the mat, and threw him out of bounds. A bit later, he did the same thing, but the instant he threw him out of bounds, he attacked the wrestler and had him on his back.... but the ref didn't even know what happened and called them (incorrectly) out of bounds. Pretty sure the ref said afterwards that he blew the call.

Other team. That time stoll tied up and slowly and clumsily pushed until his opponent was out of bounds. Amazing. Wish I could find the GIF

Nope, just the coach.

Maybe one of you who was there could create one of those Leggo reenactments of it.
