wrestle87 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 10 hours ago, ClawRidesAgain said: Lehigh's Rob Rohn was trailing 14-2 late in the third period and mixered OK's Josh Lambrecht for the fall in 2002. 4 pins in a row in the NCAA championships. This will always be the answer, followed by caldwell over metcalf, and then cenzo over Imar.
D3 for LU Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) 19 hours ago, Rassling2 said: Arujaus total dominance of Crookman with the “pointing to the center of the mat” was a finals match I’ll never forget. Are you really sure about that? I hate to break it to ya, bub, but that happened during the semifinals. D3 Edited March 13 by D3 for LU 1 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

You might call me a liar, but I wasn't very shocked at Cenzo beating IMAR. At B1Gs he gave IMAR a pretty good match and showed he wasn't afraid to go up top with IMAR. Edited March 14 by 666

NOT a problem... especially when you're an Arujau fan (he had an incredible season prior. Winning his 1st NCAA title w/ panache over Fix in the semis and in the finals w/ Bravo-Young. PLUS winning the Worlds @ 61Kg.) Oh, and one more thing... it's Crookham. (Not Crookman.) D3 1 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Interviewed_at_Weehawken Posted March 14 Posted March 14 On 3/12/2025 at 2:08 PM, Jim L said: Electrifying moment but not shocking as Rohn was a pinner and had beat Lambrecht earlier in the season. He also was winning halfway through the 2nd we Lambrecht started titling him. It was surprising how easily Rohn got tilted. I was told second hand info (but good source) that Rohn had a very bad shoulder and wasn't too keen on his chances that weekend. This would seem to fit in with how easily he was going over with that tilt.

This would seem to fit in with how easily he was going over with that tilt. Now that I think back, he had something going on with his shoulder at EIWA. I seem to remember him not going to practices for the next week and a half and "worked out" with Jack (our trainer). 1
ionel Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Verne Gagne beating Dick Hutton 1-1 rd it stopped the first 4x undefeated NC. .
BFosr1 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I’ll go with Nickal hitting the elevator on Martin to pin and win against both Martin and the team championship. Went from likely being down 6-0 to winning in a blink of an eye on a move he likely learned in elementary school. Another one was Kollin Moore getting stuck by Kyle Conel in Cleveland.

A ref's decision away from being a four-timer. But also a ref's decision away from being a two-timer. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Wrestleknownothing Posted March 15 Posted March 15 For me the most shocking final was the one that didn't happen. Spencer Lee against Pat Glory. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

Wasn't pinned....but it got called.....official didn't know what consisted of shoulder blades. His shoulders were resting on Caldwells stomach/chest (spladle situation) 1

I remember this well....I was sitting with Kelly's workout partner, and he said they had been working on that for sometime....he kept yelling "spladle, splade", and in my mind I thought "yea right!", and then it happened. After that, I became good friends with that guy....worked some wrestling camps with him....keeping his name anonymous.
lisa morales Posted Monday at 11:18 AM Posted Monday at 11:18 AM Lucky for Lee he was pinned by Ramos in the semis. Glory would have pinned him too.
BloodRound Posted Monday at 11:55 AM Posted Monday at 11:55 AM The second Joseph over IMar was more than shocking to me than the first; pins can happen. But I remember being at a mall in Sydney, hearing the news and saying to myself "I can't believe he fell for the trip AGAIN." In a similar vein, Mekhi Lewis over Joseph was equally as shocking. Got to see Lewis wrestle one tournament his senior season, and never thought he'd turn around and win an NCAA title in such little time from then.
Tripnsweep Posted Monday at 12:11 PM Posted Monday at 12:11 PM McIlravy vs Abas. It was just shocking because Abas scored a lot early and had a fairly good lead but ran out of gas and crashed and burned in the home stretch. That's why McIlravy losing to Marinetti was kind of surprising. I think other than losing to him at B10 and the NCAA finals that year, he only lost one other match during his time at Iowa. I don't think we'll be seeing any more finals matches where both wrestlers score 15+ points each.

And Bill is a good dude.
