165lbs Ryan Churella vs. Mark Perry - 2005 Big Ten Finals : Speakers & Interviews

love churella's dad...looks like he just ate something sour

Where is todays VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLIFF MY MAIN MAN COME ON!

no such thing as a illegal draping scissor. draping are illegal

is that an illegal draping head scissor starting at 5:08?

Do Ryan Churellas videos pop up instead of Perrys because he won the match!!! LOL

that was nuts scramble at the end.

hendricks is also a beast mma fighter

Actually Hendricks was undefeated against Perry until the last match of his career when he lost in the NCAA finals to him.

If matches like this was brought to the public, wrestling would easily be top four most popular sports. Throwback thursday's should be a TV show

Ryan, I spelled Hendricks name wrong they were just busting my chops as always. If I knew how to spell I'd maybe be doing something other than flo wrestling all day.

I think they're talking about the peterson and Perry was getting turned. Could have been 2 backs for sure.

Better man won that day, but a great match from one of my favorite hawkeyes!

Mark Perry, new Asst Coach at Cal Poly. Take a strong look at some CA programs ya'll. CP, Fullerton, Davis, Bakersfield, Stanford. Great kids from instate recruited. Watch out for Ian Daube working with Perry.

oh and what was the bad call for Churella? I thought that the calls were on point

No Fools, Johnny Hendricks, Okie St. 2x National Champ, Just won a UFC fight last week. I'm pretty sure Hendricks was 9-0 agains Perry going into the 2007 NCAA finals when Perry won.

jimi hendrix???

maybe I am bias because i have always liked the churellas but seems like they get some of the worst calls against them.

Who is Hendrix? Hendricks won the NCAA title this year.

Freakin sweet

heartbreaker.. ithought perry wasgonna pullit out all the way untill he lost

Perry needs to get on the circuit we need guys who keep attacking, wrestling freestyle. I wonder how his body is I know he suffered several injuries throughout his college career

too bad no one wrestles folkstyle like that anymore

another good churella match at senior nationals

That match is why folkstyle is the best. Aweseome scrambling, great video.

just wondering, but does posting these videos on here constitute a copyright infringemnet?

I agree in the 2nd period that Churella had 2 NF. He also should have gotten1 for an illegal head scissor. This was not a draping scissor. The NCAA rule 5.8.1
illegal holds says: Head scissors ( even though the arm is included). You would've thought at least the asst ref Tann would've spotted this.

This is some scrappin and rolling, love it!

YAAAZERRRR........

1 Illinois 130 (2)
2 Minnesota 123.5 (2)
3 Michigan 118 (3)
4 Iowa 94.5
5 Wisconsin 89
5 Indiana 89

Great match with incredible scrambles, both guys had tremendous gas tanks.

did illinois win the big ten 10 that year?

AHAHA Props to Chris Hardin for giving me a box of dusty relics last week I've been digitizing and sifting through. Pant load of good karma is headed your way along with half my Flo paycheck of $0 dollars.

Sweet footage! Cliff, you must have got the hook-up on some gnarly vids! Can't wait till next week.

mike za at 11:49

is ken chertow one of the announcers?

great match CF thanks for posting the vid

Great match, real classic. Churella should have gotten 2 backs.

sick match, felt bad for perry, poor guy thought he was still wrestling, at 11:21 does anyone thiknks that should have been backs?

Dang, that was a sweet match. Good pick Cliff

A down year for Iowa with only 1 guy in the finals and not battling for the team title or even the top 3. There were several solid finals bouts but this one by far doubled the excitement. Dan Gable got more excited in the announcers booth than I've ever seen. The intensity on Mark Churella's face scares me 4 years later still.

Little History
Great 1 vs. 2 seed final. Perry known for his leg riding and funk, Ryan Churella continuing the Churella legacy through the Michigan program his father (Mark 3 time NCAA Champ)laid before him. Perry coming into this bout a red shirt freshman coming off a heralded HS career finishing up at the famed Blair Academy.

Perry ended up a 2 time NCAA champion and 4 time AA only winning the Big Ten’s one time in his career, which goes to show how deep the Big Ten’s are. On the other end of the spectrum Ryan was a 3 time Big Ten Champion and 3 time AA never taking a national title but did make the finals in 2006.


ENJOI!
