How to Win a Competitive Wrestling Match

The world of actual competitive wrestling is nothing like the "professional" game. While the ultimate goal to winning is to pin your opponent to the mat, there is also a method of scoring points much like in boxing.

Instructions

  1. Winning

    • 1

      Pin your opponent by getting him on his back with his shoulders to the mat for two seconds. A pin, also called a fall, will immediately end the match with you as the winner.

    • 2

      Score the most points for the duration of the match. There are multiple ways you score points in a match through either your own moves or opponent's penalties. The wrestler with the most points wins if there is no pin.

    • 3

      Win by disqualification if your opponent is penalized four times during the match.

    Scoring

    • 4

      Score a takedown for 2 points by getting your opponent down to the mat and maintaining control over him.

    • 5

      Escape your opponent's hold when you are down on the mat to score 1 point. If you reverse the hold to come up from underneath and gain control of your opponent, you get 2 points.

    • 6

      Get points with a near fall by holding both your opponent's shoulders within 4 inches of the mat, getting one shoulder to the mat or holding him from behind by the elbows. Score 2 points for a 2-second near fall and 3 for 5 seconds.
