That was a great moment. After Spencer's ridiculous "warrior" speech following his previous NC a lot of people were rooting for something like that to happen. 

Was that the same "excuses as for wusses" speech?

The same! I remember listening to him ramble on and thought "wow, that sure sounds like Tom Brands' words coming out of Spencer Lee's mouth".

If Wkn were here he would tell us the best pins were the pinfalls ... not that I ever agreed with his pinfoolishness ... just saying.

[Pinnacle]

If we are including PIAA then Wade Schalles over Jon Chapman.

Moisey pinning Gilman

One of my favorites. I was in the stands and about 5 seconds before he locked up the cradle I had turned to my brother and told him he is going to lock up a cradle. The pin and the crowd went nuts.

I appreciate you quoting me! This caused me to do some research and I had a lot of fun doing some digging to find this because I wasn't actually sure I remembered things correctly.

Rob Rohn - he was cooked and dressed ten ways to Sunday. You never see a guy who is literally about to lose like that get a last chance pin. Cement Job from nowhere!

Cenzo - Imar always won that  position, until he didn't. Literally gave me goosebumps.

Bo Nickal - Martin had a pinning move set up himself, and to win the whole shootin match for both him and Ohio State. Then Bo elevator for the "That's What We Do" Natty Title!

Rohn's pin has to be the most unexpeted

At the risk of picking on Wes Hand how about Shelton Benjamin pinning him to win the National Duals?  I think the Gophers were down 5 going into the match.

[DirtyPolitics]

Also, Joe Johnston over Luke Becker.
