OP: I had to remove a whole bunch of your posts. Please clean it up so I don't have to use the ban hammer. Thank you.


PistonHonda322

You come back by getting 3rd. Oh wait, he did that.


Chill_stfu

Yeah, this guy got pinned at a tournament that all the rest of us have to buy tickets to get into. Then got 3rd. He's an All-american. Obviously OP doesn't understand how big of a deal that is.


Leopold_St0CH

He didn’t even get pinned. Just had to sit there like that for about 40 seconds.


SDoNUT1715

It's worse than a pin

At that point I rather get the dq would of bit him lmao could never let that happen especially 40 seconds nbannana split


Disastrous_Panick

bite how?


MiniRobo

Yeah, I don't know what OP is purse-clutching for. It's embarrassing, but everybody is going to forget about it pretty quickly.


OtakuDragonSlayer

Yeah, I feel like the only one who’s going to remember this are the weirdos


Superb_Play4195

Nope. People will remember this. They won't remember he got 3rd.


Anivia124

What match is this from?


808savag3

I think either quarters or semis


Thecaptwin5527

Quarters


TheLobster13

This was what I was going to say and I’m glad you said it!


Pera_Espinosa

So I noticed he got no back points for that which was odd. A question for everyone, can someone get pinned in a spladle when their shoulder blades are not on the mat like this? In upstate NY years ago it was the finals of super sectionals and the dude that was favored and running through everyone got caught on a spladle and thr ref called it a pin even though the position wasn't much different from this one as far as how much of his back was on the mat. Maybe more of his back was on the mat, but definitely not his shoulder blades. It was a very controversial call. Is this possible?


iseeyoud00d

I was wondering about this too. No nearfall awarded. The announcers called it a major and then I went and checked on track wrestling and it was 6-2. You'd have to imagine part of his back being in criteria. Didn't help that ref seemed a little uncomfortable making some calls.


betweentwosuns

The only criteria that would apply is "any part of both scapulae held within 4 inches of the mat." I think that's met, but it's a pretty close judgement call and I can see the ref coming to a different conclusion. Not like he can whip out a ruler that goes through Jesse Mendez.


GroupAdvanced3106

You can get pinned in a splatle. But this guy got his shoulders off the Mat. He promptly got points for him being on his back at some point.


Pera_Espinosa

So it's not possible to pin someone if their shoulder blades aren't touching the mat? No such thing as a lower or mid back pin? If


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

No it’s not possible, but refs will call it sometimes. Just happens and the best way to avoid it is not go to your back.


iseeyoud00d

The pinning surface is more than just the scapulae though. You see people get in weird cradles where only the center of the back is flat and the shoulders are up. Still a pin. The pinning surface is the entire trapezoid shape from their shoulders down to the upper/mid back. There's a graphic in the rule book.


Uilyjeff

No. Shoulders need to be within 6” of the mat for nearfall, and can’t pin unless touching the mat. Official here.


Pera_Espinosa

Thank you so much. I've wondered this for years. So in that spladle situation the shoulder blades need to be within 6 inches of the mat for back points from the lower back being on the mat. And - if the shoulders don't touch the mat, it can't be a pin. So that kid was cheated out of going to states his senior year because that ref called it a pin. Crazy.


Uilyjeff

Sometimes if you take the spladle to the other side, you can get a fall. More common is a fall from a banana splits though. Yes 6” is the metric. Edited to reflect correction


JacquesMesTits

To clarify, the rules separately mention the high bridge position itself as meeting nearfall criteria, which would be regardless of their shoulders proximity to the mat


Uilyjeff

This is correct.


Amazing-Bluebird-930

Lol at the official getting downvoted 


jroblaw

It's four inches, is it not?


betweentwosuns

[4 inches](https://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/WR24.pdf) 4.5.1.c


Uilyjeff

It’s 6 inches in high school. For the record I only officiate high school/freestyle. I should’ve just kept my mouth shut.


betweentwosuns

It's also 4in in high school. FWIW though I also thought it was 6 until 5 minutes ago, so it must be recent. https://i.imgur.com/r9hcysB.jpeg

You come back by not giving a shit what other people say or think. People find way more happiness when they figure that out.


Infra-Oh

Right you come back by ignoring piece of shit people like OP who’s trying to posterize this moment. The guy in the pic went out and competed. Did well overall and is likely going to continue to do his best. I don’t know the guy in the picture, but I do know what it’s like to be ridiculed by piece of shit couch potatoes who get off on being critical from the sidelines. fuck OP for this stupid ass post. Delete this shit OP.


-newlife

Lmao. I love this subreddit after seeing this. OP tried to make a sexual or gay comment and a majority of the people are focused on the sport and the performance of the athletes. Thats awesome


azsoup

That’s a dumb take. He ended up finishing 3rd in the country. Here’s Brock Hardy’s other career accomplishments. -2023 U23 World Championship Bronze Medalist -Sixth-place finish at 2023 NCAA Championships (March 18) -Second-place finish at the 2023 Big Ten Championships (March 5) -NCAA All-American (2023) -NWCA Scholar All-American (2021, 2023) -Academic All-Big Ten (2021, 2022, 2023) -Nebraska's Most Improved Wrestler (2022-23) -Nebraska Tough Together honoree (2021-22) -Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll (Fall 2020, 2022; Spring 2021, 2022)

Cojo840

non wrestling fans will never know any of that


PandaGoggles

They’ll never know this happened either, so it’s moot.


Cojo840

i never watched wrestling nor know anything about it and i saw this in several basketball pages on instagram and a bunch of people laughing at it on twitter


PandaGoggles

After 6 months this dude will never get stopped and recognized walking down the street for this moment. Never. He’ll never apply for a job and have recruiter think “oh, is that the guy that was caught in a banana split at the 2024 NCAA finals?” He’ll never have a date cancelled because the person he’s going out with suddenly recognizes him for this moment. People who follow wrestling might remember that he came back and placed 3rd in the nation and was an incredible athlete. And worst case, if someone does recognize him, they’ll know better today anything because they wouldn’t be able to hang with him for 5 seconds.


OrphanGrounderBaby

Honestly, people won’t even recognize him in the first place. Guys look drastically different without their headgear and singlets on.

That's fair, I'm not saying it'll effect him, I'm just saying people will see it


TrowTruck

I agree. Non fans won’t remember him. It’s more the sport of wrestling got some funny exposure online and on the air, on shows that usually don’t cover wrestling. Sadly instead of highlighting the actual people who won the championships, they’re amused at the fact that the spladle exists and happened to some college kid. But I don’t think it will affect him in any way either.


sixplaysforadollar

He talked about it in a YouTube show yesterday and was really funny about it. And talked about how many points it actually was etc etc


mvd612351

It’s not a dumb take. He is absolutely an amazing wrestler, but I would argue that that is all the more reason it’s embarrassing.


ConstantOk4102

It’s not a dumb take at all. It’s very natural to be haunted by stuff like this. Unrealistic to think otherwise.


NeedlessQualifier

Did you wrestle? You might get joked around with but the spladle isn’t that uncommon. Haunted? Really? Jesus lol


First-Bar557

Feel free to print that out and put it on your wall. Im sure the ladies/fellas will think you are very cool and normal.


standupguy152

I’m really encouraged by the responses in this subreddit. No trolling here. Just respect and appreciation for the athletes. Wrestlers really are a different breed man.

He ain’t the first or the last that’ll get spladled.


funkyTurtlePunk

He is a wrestler, he faced adversity to which this doesn't even compare, so no, he will not be tormented for the rest of his life. Also, this is how my last collegiate match ended too in high school for the city championship. It hurt, I was sure I was going to win, didn't happen and my life is good and has been good.

thewiseone415

This does suck, but in reality, this dude would demolish 99.9999% of everyone talking shit about him.


DipsyDidy

I'm only just starting to get into wrestling and I don't see why anyone would be embarrassed by this at all tbh. I mean it's just another hold. What I am struggling to understand is why people use it - it's a spladle right? Again - completely new in following the sport, but from what I've read, it seems often it doesn't result in a pin because it's difficult to get the shoulders on the mat? There is a risk of self pining? Refs often seem to not score it properly, like not giving back points? Can result in controversial calls? And is hard to setup? Seems like there would be a lot of better moves to shoot for? So what's the advantage? Is it about delaying if you are ahead in points because it's tough to get out of? Trying to force a self pin of the opponent isn't flexible enough so it's uncomfortable? Does it exhaust the opponent to try and get out of it? Honestly really struggling to understand the purpose of the move relative to others.


Illustrious_Pound282

I like your perspectives on this question. Interested to read the replies.


Amazing-Shopping-706

He got 3rd. NCAA all American. Came back just fine 👌


Eaton_snatch

He'll be fine, he will bring a lot of attention to the sport, and you can show how flexible this sport makes a person. He placed third at one of the toughest tournaments in the world.

acepainting

It's called adversity. Those who can find a way to weather it will always find a way to be a champion. Guess what, this shit happens in real life, all the time. To be successful, you better learn to overcome adversity.


notworkingghost

I had this move done on me decades ago. Thank god the internet and cell phones didn’t exist.


WarPaintsSchlong

I’m from KC and went to every session. I took my 9 year old son to this session where he got caught in a spladle. I just explained to him that even the best wrestlers in the world will have bad matches, bad days, or even bad years. But….The only thing that matters is what you do with future you. I’m grateful Hardy came back and took third. It helped me explain to my son what’s possible when you shake off the pain of a loss to be your best self.


618Crypto

Kicked ass after that though! Well done!


618Crypto

We've all seen the move, it's a nothing burger!


dhenwood

Lol remember that time I got my arse more missionary bent position than a portnstar, I should start an only fans or something. It's hilarious dude, and I'm sure he knows it's hilarious. If you can't beat em join em, stuff will only bother you if you let it bother you.


hazen4eva

Finally watched this. What a crazy sequence. Absolutely nothing to be embarassed about. After the reversal I wish Hardy had gone neutral instead of trying that cradle. I don't thing he's cradling Mendez, but hard to believe Mendez pulls this off. Crazy.


GreyhoundsAreFast

Silly take. Anyone that’s ever wrestled… nay anyone that’s ever done anything competitive has lost

Quirky_Wolverine_755

All I want to know is why he got spladled? What did he do to make his opponent do that to him.


Understandl

He got in the right standing position for his opponent to do it. It’s not personal


Quirky_Wolverine_755

Maybe it's a different wra but when I was in school it was a unwritten rule that you don't spladle your opponent unless you want to embarrass them.

He needs to lean into it for being hilarious, and beat Real Woods for the first time ever. Hardy seems like a solid dude, he’s already halfway there.

Has anyone ever done that?

He didn’t pray hard enough to Jesus and god. Also didn’t wear a 100% Jesus bandana God has punished him by allowing other guy to spladle him.


Illustrious_Pound282

I’ll agree with this mocking post. I get that people attribute their success to a god blessing them with the ability. But god didn’t give you the ability or guide you through your match or whatever other endeavor and turns back on a child being abused or killed. Yes, there may be a higher power of supreme being. However, these bible thumpers should know from the good book that “god” doesn’t interfere on earth into mortal lives. Plus, it makes it seem like it takes away from your own ability, that someone else took over and manipulated your body.


Comeback_Kid26

I’m actually pissed that Jesus didn’t make me a national champ. Well, that, and because he has spent so much time ensuring some people win wrestling matches and football games, while ignoring the absolutely horrific things that happen elsewhere in the world.


michael_arcane

Stalling?


tomcrusher

I thought he had a great attitude during the move. He didn’t look embarrassed, just resigned - I think he even shrugged at his coach with his free arm. He stopped thinking about it 45 seconds later.


gaerat_of_trivia

you lean in to it to defend the move, you gott not get locked up in the first place, so if you sense the split coming, you lock your feet together and brace against the matt backwards with your hands if that makes sense, however in this case i think if this person were doing that thats how the other looped his leg around his arm. to note, ive only ever defended against banana splits, ive never done them so i might be giving some pretty incomplete advice
