I am a little surprised we don't have a single official chiming in. To a layman like me, some sort of force needs to be exerted to get a fall. Sammy was no more than a bystander. So I don't see how in anyway he could lay claim to pinning Bo.
Was Bo pinned?

Agreed, except in situations like this one - where the other, defending wrestling is pinned. This is all very academic, but any ruling that had Bo losing here would be absurd.
I dislike the rule , Always reward the wrestler taking the risk. It usually works it's self out because the ref positions himself to view the defensive wrestlers shoulder position. Hard to see both down on the mat
I am an official (though a green one), and what matters is whose shoulders hit the mat for a one count. It doesn't matter how it came to pass that your shoulders came to hit the mat. If, from neutral, you lay down on the mat, you are pinned.
