To the hardcore fans like us I can see ranking Caldwell/Metcalf above Mendez/Hardy but Hardy takes the cake in this age of social medial. It's far more famous to world. 1 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerlock3 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 he does get the consulation prize that his hips are flexible enough to make it look that ridiculous. Thats a lot of injuries avoided. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMO2 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Seriously, down 2-3 with 30 seconds left in the match, Kelly sticking Penrith with a spladle in the 1987 championship match was the ultimate. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome ending. Both Caldwell's and this spladle ended in a pin, yet Jesse Mendez didn't get a single swipe. What the hell? Did the rules change or what?

What the hell? Did the rules change or what? No, the caldwell pin was an objectively bad call. That ref was just excited to be somebody that day, you can tell when you watch the video again. There are definitely phantom pin calls. Look at Truax Rogotzke in their dual, Truax had a shoulder inches off the mat, the ref just wanted to be a person that day and called a pin. In the Kelly/Penrith one, Kelly did a better job of scooting out towards the head. If you look when they roll over, Penrith immediately has one shoulder flush to the mat, and is almost able to pop his head out as they are going over. This is the difference between the wrong leg in banana split cradle which mendez and caldwell hit, vs the single leg defense spladle, which is the king of spladles. The single leg defense one starts far more square, and presents the shoulders to the mat more effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one I remember so well, as the guy sitting next to me in the stands kept yelling "spladle, splade", and I thought he was crazy....this went on for a little while until finally Kelly hit the spladle. At that point I asked "how did you know that?" He said, we have been working on that at practice for some time. The guy and I became good friends....I'm leaving him nameless on purpose! He too was a great wrestler....all-american/World Cup team, etc. I will never forget it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromit Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 this one (by Wade Schalles) had to be one of the worst. the picture was often posted in AWN magazine ads back in the day. poor dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle26 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Good for Hardy for being a good sport, but sometimes I just don’t understand why wrestling is its own worst enemy. I mean this is like the biggest viral picture from the NCAA championships? Come on! This is what the non wrestlers see and think that’s why they never want to wrestle or want their kid to wrestle. How about promoting all the awesome stories more than posting the most embarrassing picture you can find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan4Life Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hardy's third place finish continues to be overshadowed by the last minute of his quarter-final match with Mendez. The spladle is now even a topic on the Pat McAfee show as part of a segment with DC. The Most Embarrassing Move In Wrestling Happened In The NCAA Championship... | Pat McAfee Reacts Hopefully Hardy will get as much credit for his overall performance in the tournament and the good-natured way he's handling the spladle attention, as all the razzing that has (and will) undoubtedly come his way.

CHROMEBIRD Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Clips of the spladle went viral on social media, mostly ppl laughing or wondering wtf was happening. I guess that's one way to #GrowTheSport among casual fans Respect to Hardy for being a good sport about it. I hope he and his asscheeks get an NIL deal out of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this video yesterday only about a minute or less is spent on the spladle . It was a good interview with DC about the tourney. McAfee was sold on wrestling.
