I have been watching Collegiate Wrestling since 1968. NEVER in my life have I seen a wrestler get screwed out of a National Championship like this. Gary Kessel goes down as one of the worst NCAA Championship refs of all time for missing this. Troy Letters from Lehigh got the best of Hendricks, and Churella won here too. He just didn't get credit or the hardware. One of the worst injustices in the HISTORY of the sport.
I remember being there and yelling so hard. Ryan, being my cousin, should of gotten the pin. Sadly he doesn't wrestle anymore because he just had a hip replacement around 2 weeks ago. Such a terrible call. Still pissed about it.
Well I can't find a video of the end of this match :( If you mean at the end of this video, we didn't have the angle to tell if his shoulders were flat or not, so I can't say anything for that...
Maybe in technicality, but that nearside cradle was one of the surest college pins I have ever seen. Just look at the arch of his back and chest, there is absolutely NO WAY his shoulders weren't nailed to the mat.
the first takedown call i dont get....the ref called the two AFTER churellla got off his hip. the ref didnt call the two before that, though, when it actually looked like a takedown. i agree with the two points, just the timing of the call. one of the best finals i've seen. i was rooting for churella, and thought he did have a lot of a lot of bad calls against him (especially in the 2nd part of the match), but credit to hendricks - he's a beast and doesnt stop.
Okay, that's bullshit. Churella had him fucking pinned. He's flat on his back, no space between both shoulders on the mat for a full four seconds. Bullshit.
you can CLEARLY see when Hendricks gets up at the very end, he was COMPLETELY FLAT. AWFUL call by the referee, he should never show his face in public again.. Then again Hendricks completely outwrestled Churella for the rest of the match
I've never seen such poor officiating at such a high level. The ref only awarded 2 backpoints as opposed to 3, and awarded two takedowns out of bounds when there wasn't control. The ref took the match from Churella.
11 years later still waiting for part 2 lol
I don't think I have ever seen anyone with their back that flat on the mat in any match I have ever watched.

9 years later, still pissed about this match.

Bummer to hear about the hip replacement. Was it from wrestling?
FA Hayek nah badminton
It still makes me sick watching this joke of a referee…. Churella got screwed out of an NCAA title
At least post a link to part 2
This is painful to watch. It's such a shame when you get all the way to the finals and you get such a bad call.
wow, thought he was stuck, SOMEBODY PLEASEEEEE POST PART TWO!!!!!!

The_Brotatochip looks like the far shoulder was on top of Ryan.
Five years later and there still is no Part 2.
Well He got a free championship here and karma came back to bite him saturday night. Didnt get that UFC Belt.
Alec Phea
How is that Karma? He didn't make the call the ref does?
I remember watching this live and wondering how they could blow a call so obvious with so many witnesses. Sad for Churella
Stuck!!!! Churella wins
Yes where can I get part 2?
Anyone know where to find part two or the whole match?
don't understand why there's never a part 2
My coach this year for wrestling talked to him when he came to a camp to teach us and we all told him he won that match and hes a god

Where’s part 2 🙌🏻
Do you or anyone have part 2 for this?
How the fuck did the ref give him that first takedown? Not even close!!
Okay, that's bullshit. Churella had him fucking pinned. He's flat on his back, no space between both shoulders on the mat for a full four seconds. Bullshit.
what happened in the 3rd?
churella had himself pinned when he tried that cradle
Churella was in control lol
It was close
Melissa Elkins you ever heard of a defensive pin???
you can CLEARLY see when Hendricks gets up at the very end, he was COMPLETELY FLAT.
AWFUL call by the referee, he should never show his face in public again..
Then again Hendricks completely outwrestled Churella for the rest of the match
wheres part 2?
churella whent to my school before and he just cameback and taught us stuff he is good. Go NOVI
That is the definition of a pin.
Hendrick's single is awesome.

If I was the Michigan kid I would have beat the refs ass for taking the championship away from him...Ryan definitely won that match
Ben Askren talked about how flat Hendricks was and the zebra didn’t call it. Shame
Oh, that's a touch-fall, but in college they don't always call it; it's tough because of folkstyle.
hendrick did all the offensive work i felt bad churella cause i'm from michigan but hendricks was and still a fucking animal
Fucking Churella was caught in a defensive pin, where the fuck is the second part??
worst job by the refsss ever. thanks for robbing the kid out of a national championship
