Incredible path to the back right there in the beginning, holy shit
I just had a seminar with Hermes and Ricardo Areua Demnte last weekend. They are super nice guys. I got roll with him during our break.
If you take a look at Ryan's early matches he is fairly well versed in Rubber Guard and 'our system'. I think that he was going for the back as the RNC is a high percentage move for him (see his recent Wilson Reis match). Also as a seasoned competitor he knows that in competition taking the back gets points and puts the onus on the other guy to take chances to try to score or finish. Unfortunately the Truck isn't a recognized control position so no points would have been awarded. I totally get what you are saying and I would have lost my mind if he had pulled off that roll and worked for the twister!!
Oh wow.... that was sick.
And Ryan says he was sick coming into the match. Not enough energy to do any stand up wrestling.
thanks jason for posting it. Even when i saw it live i still missed somethings
