Hours before this match, Ramos had an interview and said he had a plan. You can really see him execute it here. 1) He chooses neutral in 3rd instead of bottom (Lee chose top in 2nd) because Lee's tilt is so deadly 2) He uses his Greco-Roman experience to full advantage. In their duel meet match earlier this year, Ramos dominated on his feet, but Lee pinned him as soon as he got on top. 3) He uses an excellent standing Granby roll twice to get escapes into immediate counter-attacks. 4) He is constantly pushing into Lee, then changing direction to throw him off balance. Even in the cases where this didn't score him points, it is obviously effective, often sending Lee onto his butt or into a desperate scramble. I would have loved to watch Lee make history tomorrow night. He's such an exciting wrestler to watch, and such a darn nice guy, that you can't help but cheer for him. I wish he had gotten the happy ending he seemed destined for. But on the other hand, this feels like the first chapter in a story just as exciting.

He had an 8-4 lead with the riding time point, call it 8-5 with an escape point. Pretty much the only way he loses is if he gives up back points. Lee could have easily stalled out the last 50s, instead of being so aggressive and risky.

Ramos takes advantage of Lee on his knees, anchors all his weight on Lee’s neck, shoots his right hip/leg through to essential gator roll him as if a throw/exposing the belly to the lights. Spencer is caught, Ramos sinks the hips not allowing him to roll through. Steps over and pretty much crucifixes Spencer for the fall
