Watch the 130 final. The guy in blue makes a sweet 360 spin to a single that is almost too fast to see!

Pathetic call. So everytime someone's head or shoulder bounces off the mat now its a slam?

I didn't think it looked like much of a slam, but then I noticed the knee sweep. I thought it made the bottom man defenseless. Who knows why he didn't get back on his feet. I do think that because it didn't seem malicious, if the kid could get up and default he should have.

You are required to return your opponent safely to the mat. Was the kid that was injured returned safely? If no, then its a slam.

A slam is defined as returning your opponent to the mat with unnecessary force. Was there unnecessary force here? If yes, its a slam.

From the commentary on the Flowrestling site the kid was knocked out for a few seconds. So maybe he just had a weak brain.

It was an illegal slam- and he may be the second "dirtiest" wrestler I have ever seen.

Mike you have finally made an intelligent comment it seems to me that all some teams are teaching, is illegal slams and head butting.

It looks like they both hit the mat at the same time and didn't look illegal to me, but who am I to say?
