Ok I will clear this whole thing up seeing as I posted the video and was also matside for this match. Kevin Davis (top wrestler/my college teammate) was winning the match by a few points and there was about 10 seconds left in the match. Davis was using this (wrong leg in/merkle) to hold his opponent down and basically stall for the remaining few seconds. It is just a funny comment coming from a coach..
My favorite move by far. My coach would definitely say something ridiculous like that.

I've hit the merkel on state champions and other college wrestlers. It works if you know the series well and have the balls to hit it.

Ohh I get it now! According to the comments: the move is some combination of the bulldog, merkel, jackknife, and leg-in mat return

It could set up a move called the cooper. it's a sick move but hard to get.

the bulldog?

it IS a move, but i have never had any success with it; maybe i'm just doing it wrong, but I dont think the merkel works on anyone who isnt a scrub.

IT is a great move...called a jackknife, you keep the leg in, stretch them out and roll it through

its two moves. its a leg-in mat return. to be fair, it was a very bad and slow moving one, but thats wat u get in the bigger weight classes.

are you kidding, it's a merkle, its an almost guaranteed 3 back points and if you know how to use it, a very easy pin, it's just hard to get in.
