Is there ever a point where creating multiple continuous stalemates will turn into a stalling call? Example - one wrestler is clearly being the aggressor in a match by making td attempts and the other wrestler continues to create stalemates.

I'm not talking about 4-5 stalemates in the match, I'm talking about 3,4,or more in the 3rd period.

Yes rule 8-1 Art 6. It is stalling when repeatedly creating a stalemate situation to prevent an opponent from scoring.

Typically you will see this when wrestler A continues to dive into a single leg while up on 1 and hold on for a stalemate trying to kill time but never looking to score on that single leg.

But in a stalemate neither wrestler is attempting , or can't improve their position, so how can we call a stalemate stalling?

Remember stalling is a judgement call. In the situation stated in the rule book the referee has to make a judgement call if one wrestlers is causing the stalemate (i.e. he is not trying to improve) and because the move he is putting on is causing the other wrestler the inability to improve that that move that is causing the stalemate can be called stalling.

Don't see it very often. But it is in the rule book.
