ESCAPE
An escape is when the defensive wrestler gains a neutral position and the opponent has lost control, beyond reaction time, while the supporting points of either wrestler are inbounds.


That "beyond reaction time" is the same language in the locked hands rule while returning a wrestler to the mat. Would a wrestler be able to lock his hands for that same amount of time that Blair lost control and not get penalized?
