Thank you.. that makes a lot of sense...

I was wondering why some "near fall" points were 2 and others 3... now it makes sense. So anytime a wrestler is on his back and both shoulders touch for a second at the same time, it's a pin? That certainly makes sense to why it happened so fast on BA. He was on his back a lot earlier in the match but always trying to wiggle around, I assume to make sure both shoulders weren't down. This time when he got rolled over I guess there wasn't space to wiggle out quickly enough.

Both shoulder blades have to be flat on the mat.

There's no verbal count for a pin

A pin occurs when both of the wrestler's shoulders touch the mat

Yeah but it’s supposed to be for a full second correct?**

As Nafeikoh sed, there's some leeway there...but it's a quick second...**

There's a little grace
Nafeikoh 03/23/24 12:03 PM ET
Yes... important clarification: it's the back of the shoulder...**
RRHokie90 03/23/24 12:25 PM ET
Count is for nearfall points, pin is supposed to be 1 second.**

Don’t the shoulders have to be at 45 degrees or less to start the count
