In the 132lb Texas state finals Scott Akers and Petey Martinez get into a scramble and end up in a potential stalemate situation when the referee awards a takedown. Maybe I don't know the rules as well as I thought, but it sure doesn't look like a takedown to me. This was the first takedown of the match and Akers went on to win 5-0.

No Take Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You see calls like this all the time in high school. It comes from one of three places: 1. plain old bad ref, 2. ref who has never wrestled or watched wrestling, or 3. ref who has not watched MODERN wrestling. Really, this kind of thing was not common when many refs were wrestling in the mid 80's. Some simply have not kept up with the evolving styles. NO TAKEDOWN.
I don't agree with it being a takedown but if so, shouldn't there be points for an escape?
The thing is... is that he does have control of the hips like the rulebooks say is needed for a takedown.. But obviously this move is being used all over the nation t. I mean i've hit Jordan Olivers whizzer tilt he does off opponents shots and i dont even get backpoints by certain refs
