Am I wrong, or didn't a similar situation arise back in 1998 with Jeremy Long and Beau Tillman? I believe that Tillman was going for his third title, and Long his second; Tillman was leading maybe 7-1 or something like that, and Long, an excellent thrower who never gives up, caught him in a headlock and pinned him. Long, as we all know, was a 4 timer, and Tillman became a 3 timer.

I also remember a similar match to decide who would be a 3 timer and who would be a 2 timer - that was Brandon Pfizenmaier of Clay Center and Jason Banding of Paola in 1997. Pfizenmaier caught a late takedown to secure the win. Great matches!
