Controversial Wrestling Slam

- Illegal slam at a wrestling tournament between a Dunedin and an Eastlake wrestler. I started recording after the Dunedin (red) wrestler pushed the Eastlake (blue) wrestler in the chest and they began to fight. The Dunedin wrestler slams the Eastlake wrestler at 5:00
Edit: Now that I watch this again, I realize the Eastlake wrestler faked his injury and no, I don't think the guy was on steroids. I just said all that stuff in the heat of the moment.
There is nothing worse than a screaming mom at a wrestling meet.
Chance1957 unless it’s some idiot saying s..t or f..k every other word.
Still gives me PTSD
My mom😂😂
Stupid bitch is probably a liberal communist cunt - not a fucking thing wrong with that punk being slammed like that. Suck it up butter puss
There is a screaming mom at every sporting event.
I would be so embarrassed if that was my mom screaming like that
I’m pretty sure he was more hurt in the ego then anything lol
His moms is triggered ASF
I'd be more embarrassed if that was my son making all that out of a toss! Get your ass up boy and finish the match
Kid took a dive.
I wrestled for 6 years and there was no foul play. The only thing that I saw getting hurt was the embarrassment of him being taken down. Welcome to wrestling.
That’s what I was thinking!! 😂
At most I blame ref for and since I did not see the full match i don’t know for sure he the f could have given some penalty but also I know some refs don’t want to give penalty’s for good reasons and wrestling is very much a contact sport
STEROIDS?? THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT SOME KIDS ARE BORN IN A BARN, CORN FED AND ARE STRONGER THAN OTHER KIDS. LOL STEROIDS? LAME EXCUSE
Hurt feelings..
💯EXACTLY
This is the equivalent of yelling at a boxer after he wins by knockout. "You didn’t have to hit him that hard"
Exactly
Lol that's a terrible comparison
Yeah, he should have put him in an MMA arm bar and snapped it like a twig. Oh wait - this is wrestling - not kick boxing, not MMA, not boxing. Technique and control matters - you CANNOT spike a guy neck first into the ground - that's illegal, dangerous, etc. Just like you can't facemask or spear tackle in football - unsportsmanlike conduct and dangerous/illegal moves should get you ejected. Yes, throws and takedowns in wrestling are allowed - neck spikes ARE NOT allowed.
Dude in blue should've been warned multiple times for fleeing and stalling
Exactly !
That's what I said to myself,he wrestled with head down ,reaching back,Jr high moves and he's stumbling over feet.
He didn't belong out there,then he he didn't protect himself by thrashing his legs n arms around like a 3 year old and post on his neck.
He wasn't hurt but he took the win because he knew he could.
Bet you he didn't make it past the post season.
Mom sucks and her friend, they don't know shit about a contact sport that's hard and rough in practice let alone in a real match where someone wants to beat your ass haha...
Fleeing the mat
@Brian Wilkins getting your neck broken by an awesome body slam.....
Bro this is exactly what I was thinking!
Me: “wow nice slam”
Crowd: “holy shit that’s ridiculous get him out of here!”
Yep this is the sport. Should’ve never gotten disqualified. GREAT MOVE!!
The kid was kicking his ass the entire match!
Legend has it the kid in blue does competitive cheerleading now.
I sense a lot of Kevin and Karen’s in the crowd the force is strong
yep, you can gauge that by the number of OHHHH MY GAWDDDDDs shouted out.
Yea, that’s what I was thinking. Let em fight it out, and if the other guy wants to flop, well, he got rocked 🤷♂️
Yeah and the ref was influenced by the ignorance
They're everywhere
Yeah, I didn't sense/hear any Tyrones or Shaniqua's in the crowd.
100 percent legal. And quite frankly one of the softest “slams” I have ever seen. Welcome to wrestling newbies.
finally someone sees what i see
I feel bad, because I can tell there is more context to this, but that looked hella clean to me. I wrestled all thru highschool, by no means am I an expert, but in 4 years I've seen this on more than 5 occasions.
the only possible thing i could possibly see was the dude landing on his head. everything else looked super clean, he had control all the way to the mat so I dont think a dq was the right call here.
Agreed. He wasn't above the shoulder level and the kid in red held onto him all the way to the mat and didn't "land" on him uncontrollably. A little rough? Yeah. That's wrestling. Illegal? Not in my opinion. I think the ref was intimidated by the crowd into dq-ing the best wrestler on that mat. What a shame.
Exactly...stay off the mat if can't handle it
I feel bad for the kid in the red. It was a perfectly legal move and as many times as they went out of bounds lookin at the score and the time left something drastic was obviously about to go down.
Except red shirt was trying to throw punches during the match you can see pretty clear
@@FlyPVTarzan your soft
@@FlyPVTarzan throw punches!? Lol. What match were you watching?
From what I heard of this video from swik. The dude in red was throwing punches before the recording and the ref didn’t catch it. So they rematched. Knowing that. A few of those attempts to control the arms were in fact headed towards the face
@@FlyPVTarzan It’s wrestling. Stick to your fluffy stuff.
Cheering for a DQ when your mate got ran all over the mat is hilarious.
This is a perfect example of officiating an outcome and not an action.Just because someone gets hurt doesnt mean a foul has been committed.
It's an illegal body slam for all of you wrestling experts, whether the opponent was hurt is immaterial!!
@@rockman4u2 you are so right. A lot of bleacher officials in this thread.
A lot of this in football now. A hard hit is flagged no matter if it’s legal or not.
@@rockman4u2 hello everyone, have a great day 👍
I've watched this multiple times and can't see any foul. The kid uses strength and leverage to pick him up and put him on the mat. This is what happens when wokeness enters sport
The people goin against the kid that slammed him have no idea what real wrestling is
Exactly
It's wrestling I got that but why didn't get the kid that was hurt at the very least into a neck brace immediately?? The damage could be irreversible, isn't medical obscene at these events ??
Yea they need to watch WWE more. 😁
@ッッ that move was not legal in this style wrestling, but as a "real" wrestler you probably already knew that. Move of the tournament in other styles. Not this one. Here it's an easy DQ.
@@trustjah This guy gets it. Not at all legal in folkstyle wrestling.
Every sport I played as a youth including wrestling we go till the whistle, and that slam was perfect technique
As a former wrestler and current wrestling coach, I think what got the wrestler in red in trouble here is that the rules say when you lift your opponent off the mat, you are responsible for bringing them down safely. If you look closely, the first part of the blue wrestler's body that touches the mat is his head. That, combined with the amount of force put into the slam, is why the ref stopped the match and signaled a "potentially dangerous" illegal move penalty (putting his hand behind his head).
In my personal opinion, the slam was borderline and could've been called either way. Tough break for the red wrestler.
Hey coach, I truly understand and agree with your statement. I ran through in slow mo. For the life of me it looks like the top of the shoulder blades that landed first. I think he just got folded pretty hard. Take another look and if you don’t agree can you reference a time stamp?
@@placedthere4126 i also looked at it in slow motion. You can see the blue wrestler's head land first at 5:05.
Seemed that if he hadn’t arched like a fish out of water he woulda landed on his shoulders and back. Bout like the targeting rule. He has no way of knowing the kid will flop before he hits the ground. But I defer to your experience on the mat. I am not that experienced in the rules of wrestling.
@@Patrick-fk4ef hey coach, I reviewed it again. I saw the point you referenced to. You spot on. I still don’t think it was malicious, but that’s a moot point when it comes to wrestlers safety. Still thanks for such an insightful review of this video.
@@jackdobrinski It doesn't matter what the blue wrestler does. Once the red wrestler has lifted him off the mat, it's the red wrestler's responsibility to bring him down safely.
It was completely necessary for him to do that....”he only had 7 seconds left”....when you are on the mat you are never looking at the clock. All you are doing is trying to put him on his back no matter what
Absolutely necessary. When you're in the last seconds (if you are even aware) you're going balls to the wall trying to get an absolute win, not just a point win
I always tried to keep track of time, and if I knew it was short time I'm doing everything I can to keep him on the ground.
According to them you’re supposed to gradually, carefully set him down before pinning him lol
I love the steroid comment that seems to be the go to excuse for kids if someone is bigger and stronger. It couldn't possibly be hard work and training.
Not saying that is the case here but it always seems to be one of the excuses you here when someone is bigger or stronger or faster or just plain better
Fax
Dude was definitely just more skilled you can tell by the way he covers top refs position and keeps his head focused on the referee to see when he’s going to blow this whistle so he can move a split second faster off the whistle. High level stuff
100%
Big truths here. The filmer sounds like a scared little boy "Oh my gAwD! HeS oN RoIdS!"
No doubt the kid was definitely better than his opponent. But, the feeling that steroids could be the cause of his VERY bad decision to drop the kid on his head could be valid.
I wrestled for much of my youth and into high-school and as unfortunate as it is to see injuries like this is almost never intentionally done and bad landings will occasionally happen wrestling is a sport that builds great strength and confidence its both a team sport and an individual one at sametime you have a team at your back but it's just you and your opponent and real wrestlers don't give up ever without a fight
I love how the dude right in front of the drama queens immediately gets up and starts clapping 🤣🤣
I use to wrestle in high school and believe me when your adrenalin is pumping it don't take much to toss someone like that.
Perfectly legit move as he went with him, I did it in HS
exactly, its easy to get a little over the top, especially that late in the match and when u have a match fueled with adrenaline. whoever this kid is thats filming is obviously not an athlete of any kind. i wrestled 170 and 185 my high school year and it wasnt hard to lift even the big guy. those little lanky guy like these guy were thriwing each ither all.over the place constantly. it was a bad slam but there is a fine line sometimes and sometimes the way u land can be the definative moment in the match. the reason i moced up to 185 was cause our 185 man got dropped flat on his head.
Need to change the rules nothing is worth not walking again...and need drug tests....
Wrong, you act like your on steroids. The first second of the video already new who was on the juice.
First second of the video I already knew who was on steroids. And is always the skinny pencil neck with the straw legs and the red face. Please 🤣🤣🤣
I guess it’s controversial when you aren’t familiar with the sport and just think everyone is on roids.
Yeah Bru I heard that 😂 like the red dude doesn’t even look like he would be on roids he skinny too prolly just natural aggression
Exactly it’s called ADRENALINE!? Ever wrestled much!?
Come on if that control knee touched first, it don’t matter how bad it looked
@@therealestatejustus6954 I thinknitndid but couldn't really tell.
You should check out his other channel. I think he calls it honey badger don’t care.
As someone who grew up on a farm in North Texas, the kid in red is a Farm Kid and not on Roids. You can look at his physical strength and tell, it comes from tossing hay everything else that's heavy and you just have natural strength. It especially plays a roll when it comes to the smaller muscles that people who work out don't use, farm kids pick up heavy stuff every day in awkward positions that plays a critical roll in strength needed for wrestling.
0:05 That coach was flexing hard like he was getting ready to do a ufc walkout entrance lol
The seven seconds is irrelevant. Never stop wrestling.
Whistle to Whistle, 100%
its like getting mad at lamelo ball for shooting a three before the game ends
Also, it could effect your team score if you let him escape. I forgot the point spreads but you get a different depending on how much you win by or get a pin. Maybe it's irrelevant in this instant but like you said, whistle to whistle
Agreed
He’ll ya
Kid in blue needs to take up track or something, clearly wrestling isn't the sport for him
Or soccer. Great flopper
Definitely has a promising tennis career ahead of him
@@levvisballhare2660 I was about to suggest soccer cuz he's clearly faking that injury
The only way that this could have been a bad sportsmanship call is if the guy in the red walked over and went dip dip potato chip.
Lol..
Literally the definition of wrestling camera boy
Thanks for showing us a great wrestling match
That was body to body,perfectly legal. I’m a three time state champion. I’ve been on the receiving end and on the other and never had a call of an illegal move. Rough sports these things happen people get injured it’s a contact sport just like football.
@@collinlutz4564 Kurt Angle won a gold medal with a freaking broken neck
@@jontimmons2244 your comment had me dead😂😂😂
@Collin Lutz so what, that doesn't mean it was illegal. All it means is it was bad positioning by the kid in blue. That slam was body to body man
@@mikeguy9668 you monkey, there's no slamming allowed!! This isn't the WWE!!
@@mikeguy9668 "body to body"... dum fucc
Maybe it was a little too aggressive, but it's a pretty common move for a mat return. I'm not hating, but it's wrestling. Things happen..
Cody James yeah but it wasn't a safe return. Whether or not it's intentional. That return wasn't safe.
For folk style anything that involves landing on the neck, he’ll even in freestyle/Greekco it’s always potentially dangerous
I have never seen someone get flipped and slammed as a mat return it’s not common
Everyone gets so worked up and the referee did exactly what he could. I get so sick of whiny ass parents and wrestlers coming after referees when they've already done the right thing? What else could he have done exactly? Fuck this sport, fuck the parents, and fuck the coaches.
thats not a common move for a mat return.
Wait you mean, someone signed their kid up for a combat sport and they got hurt? No way.....
What was controversial about that? Perfectly legal.
Blue wrestler is an actor. After the push out of bounds and the mat return he is way too dramatic.
Yep
That flip was legal dude wasn't ready for it and he over reacted when crowd responded....poor sport in blue...
Worked it for the DQ cause he was getting owned
@@jimmyc451 he was shocked that he couldn't run out of the ring in fear. so he played up the injury for the crowd
Folkstyle wrestling. It’s illegal to slam someone if their feet go over their head. That was illegal
Feet over the head slam is illegal in folkstyle. If it was freestyle the crowd would be cheering over that, but in high school they do more to protect the wrestlers.
give that boy an oscar
Beautiful form and strength.
We wrestled like that back when and no one blinked an eye. No we're in woos world. And we wouldn't have given the satisfaction of looking all hurt. The kid in the red is just naturally strong.
I think it's nuts that an actor thought he could win against a wrestler to begin with...
The guy that lost by DQ was clearly way better at wrestling. His stance, his footwork, his shot, his aggressiveness were all 10 times better than his opponent. His opponent seemed to be a first or second year wrestler based on his body positioning. He's lucky he got slammed to win. He probably got told by his coaches to lay there because it was the only way he was going to win. I'm serious this stuff happens unfortunately. He may have been banged up but I've been banged up plenty of times when it's not called a slam and you either have the choice of getting back on the mat or losing. He was facing the decision of getting back on the mat to lose or sitting out to win...
You obviously don't know how it feels to land like that in slam. How about you have him slam you like that, then talk.
Not a slam.
Lebron move at best. More like soccer flop.
@@rx8355 it’s called wrestling, can’t handle it do something else. the talented kid was just better. oh did they all get participation trophies to? what a bunch of crap
He was better but not ten times better... At ten times better he would have gotten those takedowns. Be real that kid was putting up a good fight
@RX I do, and it's a part of wrestling are you trying to pussify wrestling now
I’ve wrestled for at least 7 years and that move was legal. It’s unfortunate he got hurt and hope he’s healed up but there’s nothing wrong with that move
The comments below saying it wasn't a hard slam are missing the point. Watch it closely again. You will notice his head position as he hit the mat. I'm really glad he didn't get a serious neck injury.
You don’t need to be on steroids to do that move. I was a wrestler
Exactly
I thought the exact same. If I had a penny for every time I did that exact move…I’d have like 32 cents maybe but still. Lol just cuz you’re too much of a weakling to even fathom being able to do that doesn’t mean that it’s only possible using roids. Lmao Being strong without roids is a thing believe it or not. Lol
Dude just show the fuckin slam…. No need for 6-7 mins of nothing first. Lol
These arm chair athletes thinking you need steroids to make such a move.. GTFO..Those are the same guy's who think they own a team or player. BUT live at home in a basement with Mom.
Right.. In highschool i wrestled for claymont with Cody no love. Shit happens. I've had coaches slam me harder than that. Get TF up and try again.
I've been slammed like that multiple times before. They never stopped the match lmfao. I blacked out and woke up to a cross face. It's just fucked up over here on the islands ig😂😂😂
Bro im dying rn ...boul said he woke up getting crossfaced 😂😂
Bro thats how it was years ago now its a bunch of sensitive Sally's whining. "Hes gotta be on roids" 🤣🤣🤣. Its wrestling not tap dancing or the drama club where this OP needs to be.
Yup
Fr. Get mat returned so hard you black out and wake back up on your back with a bump on your head, it happens
“What is that?” That is a fantastic mat return.
Lmaooo that's not illegal, I've seen this move hit quite often and secondly idk why you'd stop wrestling last 7 seconds but I guess that's what separates champions from the average
Because he got slammed on his head.
HaqueSMASH hi bud. Yes you are correct, single hand high croch lift. It is a common back or front side lift. However. The reason this was illegal. The kid hit the ground head first. In high school and lower age brackets. The USA national rule is, no matter the take down, no matter the speed of the shoot, throw, or drop, the person cannot hit the mat head first. In the state of Florida. The thrower must make contact on the mat before the throwie, and the throwie cannot contact the mat head first.
So go and check out the take down again. @5:00 minutes.
This single hand lift requires you to lift your opponent to his toes or freely into the air, then rotate the opponent in the air with the non lifting hand.
I honestly think this kid sliped from sloppy technic and without him having concern for safty. I do not think he intended to drop him on his head. But with three other fups...
It was a slam,no,doubt but I agree with your over all statement he did not apear to be injured and should have manned up and finished the match
@@Lee_Arashi hey I know I’m three years late 😅 but what about the throwees arm making contact first, or does it have to be the person executing said throw
@@AllBraunZeroBrains honestly that detail varies region to region. Some rules require hip first, arm first shoulder first. Some are so strict you cannot make your opponent leave the ground. The best rules I like is no opponent head contact first. Freest and safest rules for expression of technique. It is also the most basic rule of throwing in Judo.
Kid in blue deserves an Oscar. If you are hurt, you wouldn't be rolling around like that.
I was thinking it was acting worthy of a soccer player.
Idk if you’ve ever played a physical sport. There’s Journal’s published that details how paralysis being way after the initial contact. Library’s have databases that google and Siri want allow you to utilize. 1st lesson is free! Thanks
@@criticalthinking1592 I would have looked for an immediate neckbrace. I don't see any deceribrate or decordate posturing.
Did you not see the way his neck was bent when hitting his head??? Idiot
I cannot believe that this is considered a questionable throw!
You can tell the kid filming this is a gamer nerd. This match is his first taste of reality in ages.
The person commenting doesn’t know what he is talking about, guy in red outclassed his opponent end of story
That ref was bs, not a single stalling on blue and he was running the entire time. Also the guy said 7 seconds left so unnecessary, you keep wrestling until the ref blows the whistle until then, keep going, we didnt have a clear angle of the slam but from what i saw, looked fairly clean.
Edit: watched it at .25 its clean, knee came down first, from my experience you can slam as hard as you want, as brutal as you want, as long as the knee hits first you're golden.
his head hit the ground first not knee that aint legal
@@jasoncagle4557 not talking about the guy that got dropped dumb dumb, im talking about the guy in red, his knee hit first as long as that happens you're good
@@mrgotrice Thank you. This generation of little girls is so annoying.
@@youtubesgay Some people just don't realize that wrestling is one of the most physical sports out there, im currently wrestling in the high school level and it just started and i've already had injured ribs slammed and cranked on, its tough but people dont realize that this is what we sign up for
YEAH THAT SHIT WAS EXECUTED PERFECTLY!
He knew he was gonna lose in the end . I bet he faked it hoping his opponent would be disqualified.
He's not on roads. He just outclassed the guy
Everyone is so upset for a completely LEGAL body slam! I was rooting for the guy in red. He's just way more trained and he was taught to show no mercy, no weakness, and to never show that he is tired. They both fought hard but in this case the guy in the red ultimately won! Everyone there seems to be sore losers.
Dude in the blue was huffin n puffin...
Totally legitimately out classed
That wasnt legal. Who taught you the rules Hulk Hogan?
@@FourTreDubbCity he was mentally beat before this video starts.
@@kurtsloop2462 is wrestling for pussies now
@@kurtsloop2462your wrong. Not even going to get into why. Apparently you have never wrestled.
Totally legal. Hoisted his hips and rotated him by pulling on the head downward while rotating his hips. This is 100% legal.
That’s what happens when experienced wrestlers compete against newbies.
If Red's knee hit the mat before Blue's torso or head, then it's legal. It's wrestling, not chess.
@@dolfan13jmb Pretty passionate defense of cowardice.
Sorry but that is not all that goes into the interpretation of a slam. Red knew he did it. It happens. Slippery opponent and force and loss of control. Not likely intentional but it happens.
Wrong, he has to return with control. IMHO I see that the red coach didn't argue too much of at all. He knew he should've made a better attempt at controlling the return instead of just dropping him on his head. I don't think I would've called illegal, but also as a ref, he doesn't have the ability to stop and replay in slow motion. So yes that official is OK for calling it a slam.
"What the fuck is that!?" Wrestling, genius. That's what you're there to see.
A lot of people watching wrestling, but not a lot of people knowing wrestling in that crowd
Looked like a totally legit takedown. The cameraman was a little overly melodramatic. And then the lady screaming was over the top.
I wrestled all through high school i've was put to the mat like that numerus times i had the strength and condtioning and intestinal fortitutude to take my oponent with me or role out this boy was miss matched
I got my tail rock - clean slam ,
If a wrestler lifts his opponent off the mat, he is responsible for returning his opponent to the mat safely. If he does not, it is considered an illegal slam. Thats what happened here.
I,dont,think,there is,any doubt it was illeagl what is up with all the comments saying,it was leagle I,dont,get it that being,said I have no doubt he could not have continued and that the ref should have put a stop to the unsportsmanship by both wrestlers sooner and may have overted this alltogether wrong,kid advanced no,doubt
Neither of his arms were trapped during the return
Yeah in folk style your right. kid was in the wrong
While generally true, this wording is a little inaccurate, many things can be done to make something that's a slam or "unsafe" technically legal, such as technically landing (by touching knee or above) first, or adding a late rotation to change something from over the head to not over the head.
Only in folkstyle in freestyle they give you extra points for kill throwing him to the mat lol
I replayed it several times. He landed on his shoulder. Not a foul, just a good hard return.
Hyperflexion of the neck. That can be so dangerous. Can be a life altering injury. SMH.
5:00 you're welcome
It’s wrestling, you can get hurt ,shit happens… get better and stronger for the next one it’s not the end of the world. Glad he’s okay💯
9yrs ago.. now just seeing this video...lol. I used to wrestled for 21 yrs, all kind of class too. Freestyle , greco, and etc. by seeing that. Looks legit to me.
That "slam" is an actual move and the other kid faked it so he could win because he was losing. You can just assume every slam is illegal
Its called wrestling. Legal action, defend yourself at all times.
Whoever is filming sounds like a basketball player. Legal move
Blue wrestler was flopping all over the place. He fled the mat and then flopped acting like he was pushed. Then pretended to be hurt at the end too
Throw was legal, perfect example of punishing the guy who is more dominant in the sport.
That was totally legal and we have parents who have no clue. They think they know the rules but they don't. And the kid was totally fine, he was just playing it up like he was hurt because the parents were convincing him he was actually hurt.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be made worse by a woman screaming.
Dude in red straight handled him the whole time. Looked fine
If I ever shot my opponent out as much as these 2 bozos my coaches would be making me run stairs until I couldn’t walk😂
i agree. It’s fun doing a smooth double leg… until sombody sprawls on your ass and you get pinned
When you are on roids you can have a sloppy shot
Yup...while carrying coach on your back.
Guy in blue would be crying if he was wrestling freestyle, perfect lift.
Things might be different I graduated in 2020 and when I wrestled they said the person giving the slam had to land first before the guy being slammed
Guy in blue thought it was gonna be like wwe
That "slam" was blown way outta proportion
Imagine loosing, but winning because you got manhandled
7 seconds left... definitely on roads lol. Great commentary by a genius
Back in the sixties, your knee had to hit the ground before your opponent’s body, else you’d be disqualified. Safety was paramount.
2:39 that wasn’t a push, the kid in the blue fell.
I feel like dude was just embarrassed he spazzed like that so he kept rolling with it.
9 years ago? Come on. Lets live in today.
So wait a second . They gave him the match because he was slightly injured from a legal move? Did every one get a trophy?
Didn't you hear the filmer!? He strong and being competitive, HeS oN StErOiDs
Lol. The wussification of America . The guy in red is a good wrestler. Parents are clueless
@@levvisballhare2660 the parents are the worst part. The mom's act like absolute lunatics
The “Filmer” said up in the description that the kid in blue faked the “injury”, and roids had nothing to do with this.
@@2themoon863 he was being sarcastic
I think the real controversy stems from how red picked blue up around the neck (at 5:00). It looks like red had his arm around blue's neck and some can deem that as a neck hold or choke which is illegal. Also, driving an opponent head first into the mat (5:06) is also illegal. Some could say it was excessive force which is also illegal. That said, I do think it was all done unintentionally.
4:56 here's the slam
“Slam” is at 5:10 def was legal in wrestling. This is a combat sport it’s supposed to be intense.
It's part of wrestling I use to wrestle in school back in the 90's when suplexes was legal then and they use to teach those throws in the day.
I wrestled growing up and that was completely legal because the kid doing the slam maintained contact and went to the floor with his opponent.
100% slam. "A slam is lifting and returning an opponent to the mat with unnecessary force."
2022-23 NFHS Wrestling Rules Book - NFHS © 2022. Additionally, when you lift your opponent, you're responsible for their safe return to the mat. Lastly, this referee is terrible.
Whoever posted this needs to learn about wrestling and how it works. You go from whistle to whistle. 100%. Sometimes that will happen. If the boy in blue wasn't so tired, he might have had a chance but he was getting his ass beat. If you can't hang with the big dogs, stay under the porch. Know the rules before you get all DRAMA QUEEN on something you know nothing about.
Well said.. except I don't believe the kid in blue was tired. I believe he had no chance because he looked scared frightened and clearly had no confidence.. like you said. THIS IS A. SPORT FOR THE BIG DOGS! You need to take the loss just as good as if you won the match.. so what if he's better than you . Start practicing and training harder and get him next time , you always wrestle the same people more than once..
It looked bad, but that is technically legal and a very common mat return. I feel like half of the videos posted about "illegal" slams are posted by upset parents who are not very familiar with the aggressive nature of the sport.
Bc...that's exactly the case!
I love the fact that nobody who's in charge there are smart enough to know if he was dropped on his neck and his shoulders they need to keep him immobilized until EMS can get there and make sure he's okay.
That’s a nice slam. I used too do flips when I wrestled in high school.
I was there for that! haha It wasn't even that bad. lol All the parents almost went at it lol
You were surrounded by cowards.
Honestly that was just a really good return the kid was more embarrassed than hurt that he got planted on his shoulders from that move.
By NFHS ruling a wrestler is responsibly for a players safe return to the mat.It would be up to the official to determine whether the wrestler did attempt a safe return.By rule if opponent cant continue then he is DQed
If I remember from my high school wrestling days the souplex was the only illegal throw.
Nothing wrong with what he did. Standard wrestling move
100% legal mat return and a really good one at that bravo young man
Right how funny is this bozo filming prob a basketball player...there was 7 seconds he is on steroids like WTF
U called him Tough for wimping out cmon
