Wrestling Definitions • Takedown- one wrestler takes the other down and gains control of him. • Escape- the wrestler on bottom comes to his feet and faces the other wrestler. • Reversal- the wrestler on bottom goes from bottom to top and gains control of the other wrestler. • Illegal Slam-one wrestler throws the other to the mat without controlling him on the way down. • Stalling- called when a wrestler is making no attempt to score points. This is at the referees discretion. • Near Fall- points awarded when the top wrestler holds the bottom wrestlers shoulders exposed to the mat past ninety degrees to the mat.
