James Houchins Wrestling Backflip

[ChickityChoice]

This is such a beautiful move... I think the front flip is a better choice from my experience, but it's not quite as pretty as this.

[cajee20]

@godonbosco If Welter would have won they would have called it but since not MY cousin one :)

[cajee20]

Yeah that was my cousin! Hell ya!

[DCPLogan]

@godonbosco Doesn't look like he dominated this match.

[khag24]

It would have been smoother if he waited for the other guy to let the top of his leg go

[lolmouf]

my last name is houchins. Im jake houchins from indiana. maybe we are related

[DDDking69]

we go to the same school nice job james

[HAWKCJ]

Nice

[UnderTheBridge19872]

he also ran off the mat pissed that he couldn't finish, nobody wants to win like that so stop blaming the kid.

[AaronWrestle]

I wrestled against i-35, klint stapes was there 119lb at the time, didnt wrestle him, now hes like going to state at 130 this year? wtf.

[Wrestla14]

mister69er your gay so shut up and ya wreslescotty is right it is easy i can back flip off of flat ground, off of table, benches, bleachers,ect... i bet u dont wrestling and if you do you prolly suck and i could name a lot of people that would kill you in the sport you freak!

[XxRalphxX]

Ouch my balls?? Sick man, sick! xD

[Wrestla14]

Thats so gay Jonny Should of Won That Crap!!! But Now it is illegal, so He sucks

[moore0024]

you know what?? you suck!

[mister69er]

ur a dumass

[Moore02425]

Wrestla14 are you retarded. Why do you have to get on here and put down James, everyone wants to win and James did what he had to to win. Your going to say he sucks because he did a back flip to win. If you suck you dont get to state as many times as he has and you dont go on to a State college and wrestle. Quit being a dbag

[TwilightFaniac]

Okay that move is sick! I could never do that in a lifetime! And he goes to my school! I-35? Yep my school! I am in 7th grade no one will know who i am except for my gay brother. But still no one will now!

[mister69er]

ok it says who u r on ur profile. lmao

[IHighFootballRules]

1. He was baited into it in the finals. 2. Groves won.

[UnderTheBridge19872]

First off tjb91, he tried it again in the finals, 'did it again' implies that it worked. 2nd it was a Welter not a Reiter and Houchins is great Welter was just on a tear that tournament and hopefully the next 2 years. And lastly Siegel didn't cheat in any way, if a wrestler is knocked out at all the match is over there was nothing he could do. The call im not sure about, my first thought was slam but a state tournament ref that I know said it was a bad call. I do think Groves would have won tho.

[tjb91]

First off UnderTheBridge19872, don't point your comment towards me because I didn't make any of the initial comments you just listed. You're probably some fat non-athletic guy that wishes you could only attempt what James has accomplished.

[UnderTheBridge19872]

My first comment was directed towards you cuz you did say he "did it again in the finals" the rest were towards other people. I love how I just corrected people as well as complimented the wrestlers and I got a -3, maybe people need to read a little better if they think that was an improper comment. Oh and about the fat non-athletic part, the way your bragging this move up even though several people have said it's not that hard tells me you have little athletic ability.

[mister69er]

yet another dumbass

[xNinjaB3astX]

@tjb91 his brother went to state last year and was undeafted both those kids are all around great atjletes in our school

[bubbochubbo]

mcsoccergirl14 and turtleap...you know nothing i was there cheering the year before and johnny did not win that fair and square his dad made him cheat and the reason he ran off the mat actually sprinted is because he didn't want to win tht way and he didn't win

[AshleyRox2015]

he is from my school! he is so cool i see him all the time! Go Interstate 35 Roadrunners!!!!!!!!!!! YA BABY!!

[dhillskier75]

ne1 else think that he almost didnt make it all the way around on the flip?

[tjb91]

its not that good of an angle, i was there it was good. and quit being lame, you couldnt even attempt this.

[wrestlescotty]

this movie isnt that hard to do... looks much harder than it is... if siegel would have kept some pressure on the kids knee it wouldnt have happened

[nigmatrack]

i think james is amazingly hott!

[littled7777777]

wow wow omg wow that is asome wow wow that was the best thing i have ever seen. He is going to win state next year. Go go gog wowowo

[pimpskater93]

it is ok

[pimpskater93]

it is ok

[gunit094]

this guy is my teacher's nephew

[wrestlerfan09]

did you see on espn? i heard he was on there?

[TheHighskill]

nice move !

[mister69er]

thats the shit. although all the seniors and juniors hate me, thats the shit.

[lolster121301]

amazing!

[AndreMcWicked]

that was freaking cool, so cool to see alternative stuff like that in actual shoot situations

[moore0024]

turns out i am 12 and it was and im glad you see that now so im sorry thank you :)

[tcchev]

you guys are a jealous this kid is a stud!

[QwErTyUiOp565]

nice... with my luck when if i did some shit like that refs would cal lit potentially dangerous... the effing refs in germany suck...

[stuee911]

nice belly flop

=]

[tjb91]

If you'd like to perform something better, let me know. =]

[moore0024]

ya turns out that danielpaul kid is very gay...and is only a wrestling fan because of the singlets they wear...major dbag...

[DanielPaul56]

Ah, yes, Moore0024. The guy whose only tool in conversation is to call somebody "gay." I'm not. Not gay, not a kid, and "dbag"??? What are you...12?

This move WAS awesome, though.

[strabe30]

there are not many kids that can pull this off

[moore0024]

the kid is amazing!!!

[frain4nebr]

wow thats so Amazing

and i saw it happen

~madi~

[turtleape2]

It was cool but still mostly luck

[IHighFootballRules]

Oh, I wouldn't say that. This kid is unbeleiveable on the mat and can do things that nobody eslse can. He had it in his arsenal and went for it.

[strabe30]

uh no this is not luck have u seen this kid wrestle?

[turtleape2]

Yeah your right the kid did win state it just seems well you know

[tjb91]

Obviously you know nothing, and clearly jealous. You dont get lucky when your wrestling a defending state champion. And if you dont know, he did it again in the Finals.

[JesiRenae61]

I wouldn't exactly call him a defending state champ. Did you see the match he wrestled last year in finals?

[mcsoccergirl14]

He got slammed into the mat and knocked out last year and the kid got disqualified. That's not a "bad" or "shameful" match. The other kid did something illegal and Johnny won, fair and square. Don't talk about something you obviously know nothing about.

[JesiRenae61]

Actually I know a lot about this because I was cheering during that match. Our wrestler did nothing illegal. Look at the pictures of it and you'll see that.

[mmd3941]

great job.. lol

Madeline<33

[sneal261]

the Herda-Koethe match was the most amazing thing I have seen.

[DCPLogan]

yeah i saw the one in the finals

[IHighFootballRules]

JAMES HOUCHINS IS MY HERO!

[whitemegcrow44]

james is my hero lol...wednesday at state i was talking to a friend "why cant they do flips to get out if the guy is holding their leg?" and my friend said "u know how hard that would be?"-the guy was a former i35 wrestler

[campercarl7575]

Haha i was there! then a guy tried it in the finals and it almost worked too....

[tjb91]

Yea that was him again in the finals, he decided to try it for the hell of it.

[campercarl7575]

Oh i didn't know that was him but i guess that makes sense...yeah he almost got it in the finals too haha

[DanielPaul56]

But, it didn't (almost) work against the Don Bosco kid. He saw it coming. It was cool, but...Don Bosco rules...again!!! This is a gimmick move, as YouTubers will attest to. It is now being met with solid skill technique. Find a new WWE move, please.

[IHighFootballRules]

Wow your ignorant. Its not like he goes out and uses it as a move in every match. The setup came and he took it. Reiter baited him into it and he tried it after awhile because it was there and he was confident in it. And if you don't think it takes skill and technique to pull off and finish that move, you don't need to even be talking about wrestling.

Good Day

[DanielPaul56]

I wrestled for (too) many years, son. So, enough of that. I only said it didn't work, because he did it in the semis too, no? So, Reiter saw it coming, around the corner.

BTW, if "you're" going to call somebody ignorant, at least spell it "you're" next time...not "your." It gives more legitimacy to your insult.

And, thank you. YOU have a good day, too.

[SalviaLover]

i was at the tournament everyday, and this was the most amazing thing i had seen
