a technique used by a wrestler to escape from a disadvantaged position and gain control over their opponent
A reversal in wrestling occurs when a wrestler who is in a disadvantaged position, such as being controlled on the mat, manages to switch roles and gain control over their opponent.

Reversals require quick thinking, agility, and proper technique to escape the opponent’s hold and turn the situation around. They are a key part of wrestling strategy, demonstrating both defensive skill and the ability to take control during a match.
