Honestly, the 1st one would be nothing but the 2nd would absolutely be a hold. He pulls him, changes his direction and then kind of throws him. It wouldn't be borderline even.

Not sure I completely agree with your assertion that the standards are the same ... but if they were, then the 2nd is definitely illegal.
