How does reversal entail in wrestling?

Answer 1

It is a reversal of who is in control.

In a Wrestling match, one person may be in the controlling position on top, and the other person is being controlled on the bottom. This is often the starting position for the second and third period of a match. When you are in the bottom position, and you perform any move, or combination of moves that allows you to "reverse" on your opponent and take control of the match from the top position, then you are awarded points (usually 2) for a reversal.

If a Wrestling match starts with both opponents on their feet, and one opponent takes the other to the ground, and gains control, then this is known as a "take-down" and is usually awarded 2 points. If you are being controlled in the bottom position, and you get free to stand up and face your opponent on your feet again, then this is called an "escape" and is awarded 1 point. Only when you are being controlled, and you turn it around to be the one in control is it called a "reversal."
