"Josh Lambrecht vs Rob Rohn 2002
NCAA Div I Finals"
|
Josh Lambrecht of the
University of Oklahoma was wrestling Rob Rohn of Lehigh
University in Pennsylvania at 184 lbs.
Lambrecht was leading, fourteen to three, in the third
period. There was one minute and sixteen seconds left to the
match. The television announcer had just said that Lambrecht
was on his way to winning the title. But then, Rohn flipped
Lambrecht over with a move he had learned in high school,
called the "cement mixer". Rohn got Lambrecht in a reverse
headlock and applied pressure to his opponent by twisting
him, so that Lambrecht's back was pressed near to the mat.
This pressure prevented him from using his legs very much or
bridging. With fifteen seconds left to the match and the
crowd screaming, Rohn got a pin, proving it's always
possible to come back from way behind in a match!
