The move is not described very well in the article. It's not really a countermove per se (because the time to impact is maybe 2 or 3/10ths of a second), but something that the wrestler decided to do before the match began. Before the initial charge, the two are crouched a few feet apart from each other, and instead of charging forward, one wrestler jumps to the side rather than engage the opponent.

I can't immediately think of any corollaries in other sports, but it'd be a bit like a baseball batter jumping into the middle of the plate in order to get hit so that he can 'win' against the pitcher.
