Fletcher Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Ironic that the thread is entitled "worst stallers" and all the replies list the best stallers. Case in point - Dan Dennis; the kid never stalled in his career, so when he needed that skill set in the last 30 seconds of the NCAA finals, he had no ideal how to stall correctly. Make no mistake - stalling and not getting called for it is a learned skill. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Heil, when they changed the danger zone rules, if they change the top stalling rules this offseason he will take some losses next year. I would argue that, as long as we have riding time, no top wrestling should ever be considered stalling. It's all offense to earn/secure the riding time point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I was like, wait… why is Haines on there?! Took me second and then I literally LOLed! Well done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two most boring wrestlers to wrestle back to back in any lineup ever. Yet they both have AA'd the last two years so until the rules/referees make them change this is what they will do. I am too lazy to do the research but I believe they both have more stalling calls than takedowns in the past 2 years and especially so in their Big 10/NCAA tournament runs. Same for having more escapes than takedowns. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLStock Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Extremely talented wrestlers who make a living wrestling close matches with many ending in OT. That style sometimes costed these guys as some opponents were able to sneak a late score for the win.

Not134 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hard to argue with Lewan and Amine. I'd also put Marinelli on that list. His stall ride was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1032004 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Remember when Luke Pletcher used to always have close matches and then his senior year he started crushing dudes? That was awesome.

KCMO2 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I don't know about the last decade, but Mauller stalls like crazy. He'll attack weaker wrestlers, but against the best guys he'll just wait and try to counter. As a Mizzou fan it drives me crazy because he can and has taken top level guys down off of his attacks, he's just extremely hesitant to initiate them.The first time he wrestled ISU's Johnson and pinned him, he stalled the whole match on his feet. He just go lucky with a counter in SV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
