Flo - Top 11 Meltdowns/Comebacks

[crablegs1]

Iowa guys are making the comeback in 5 of these 11. This stuff is pretty much why we all love Iowa wrestling.

I didn't really remember the Montell comeback, but that was awesome. Always liked watching Montell.

I thought Dan Dennis v Jason Ness in the NCAA Finals would be on the list...

I just re-watched Zadick/Frayer for the first time since I saw it live in 2002. Amazing. Almost exactly how I remembered it. I've been looking occasionally for a video of that one since it happened.

The worst part is that I had a camera in my lap and didn't turn it on as I (and the rest of my group) were too busy watching to think about taking it out of the bag.

Schwab vs Dwight Hinson should be on there. Probably couldn't find the video.

Dennis didn't get gassed, he got caught.

Dennis didn't get gassed, he got caught.

It doesn't have anything to do with getting gassed, it has to do with giving up huge, seemingly insurmountable leads.

I noticed Freddy Ambrose get up at the very end of that Zadic/Frayer match hold his hands out with the 'What? You couldn't find a way to screw that Iowa kid.' look. He put it to Iowa every chance he had.

McIlravy/Abas. Ironside/Kolat.

You consider 4-2 a huge, seemingly insurmountable lead?

Ambrose always wanted to be noticed. I thought he was an arrogant prick. My least favorite ref of all time in college officials.

If he stalls the last 30 seconds, he'd have been a national champ. That said, it was neat watching Ness interact with his parents after he won.

I would have preferred to watch Dennis interact with his parents..........but that's just me. Carry on.

 

[IAhawkinTX125]

McIlravy/Abas. Ironside/Kolat.

Agree 100%, Very surprised Ironside/Kolat wasn't included. Probably my favorite match of all time.

Which is exactly why that match wasn't selected.

Ambrose was a Life With Louie dad look a like.

He didn't fit that criteria either.

 

[Azchief32]

Too many Iowa guys...could have filled the whole thing with Iowa comebacks but yea, Ironside was a good one.

Flo may have to go back and edit this, it has a bunch of Iowa guys coming back to win and a bunch of penn state guys giving up matches they had in the bag. Not the optic Flo normally allows, must have been the editors day off.
