Correct. No injury time because the ref ruled it an illegal hold, not unnecessary roughness. In all fairness, he just dropped him on his head. He'd didn't drive his head into the mat. He couldn't go for the high amplitude throw, so he just dropped him straight down to the mat. Still not a recommended move.
looks like he drove the head into the met to me!!
I would disagree, he intentionally lifted both feet off the ground, one could say jumped to do so, with the intent to land on opponents head first. That does not constitute drop to me which would simply be a bend at knees toward mat.
Fair enough. It's not good any way you slice it. I'm trying to give Trumble the benefit of the doubt here. I would hope that a wrestler would not try to intentionally injure an opponent in that way.
Geez, I hated seeing that. To me, that looked intentional with intent to harm. I'm not familiar with the exact rules but I thought it would result in a disqualification. What if Bonnacorsi had been seriously injured? Could Trumble have been held responsible legally?
Nino is a very easy kid to root for. Very active, always going forward and a classy young man. I would love to see Nino and Dean in the finals
Very classy. Not how a lot of wrestlers would have handled their opponent channeling the Undertaker and hitting The Tombstone Piledriver.
