According to the rule, the top wrestler is moving off of the hips, and the bottom wreslter is avoiding gettign turned, but yet continued to keep building a base, eventhough the top wreslter never attempted to really turn him, just tried to look busy. Is this stalling? I wouldnt want to be the official making the call on either wrestler, becuase someone is going to jump all over you for calling their wrestler for stalling.



Avoiding to get turned is stalling. If your not trying to be offensive - you are stalling. sounds like you need some work on bottom position.
