Wrestleknownothing Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 2006 was the Year of the Pinfall. But I am not sure why. Any theories? And it happened across the board. Virtually all weights were up. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwtwg Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 99.9% sure that was the year that the rules changed to allow pins if any part of the body was inbounds. I think that was also the same year that the line was changed from being the boundary to the edge. But that was also almost two decades ago so I should 100% be fact-checked. 4 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Sorry, forgot the color legend. Red is the number of pinfalls, green is the number of wrestlers who won at least one match by pinfall.

ThreePointTakedown Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I take it this is from the NCAA tournament? Rules would've helped, sure. But Simmons, Esposito, Perry, Herbert, Glenn had a few falls each. Didn't see as many from Askren, Fleeger, Cooperman, Conrad, or Rosholt as you would expect. They would've been able to make quite a dent had they contributed. But do see a bunch more peppered in the bracket. Maybe just a fluke? Year of the cement mixer! Doesn't explain why the trend didn't continue or why it dropped off so much. Or maybe it does. Curiouser and curiouser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
