Wrestling, indeed, has a language of its own. There are a few basic holds in the sport and a million variations. Some of them are named after an individual like the Mills, named for former collegiate and international standout Gene Mills. Other variations describe the move like the Crusher, which squeezes the air out of an opponent. Both are pinning combinations derived from the half-Nelson.
Wrestling dates back thousands of years.
There are pictures of holds inside the pyramids of Egypt showing various moves and holds still used today. A lot of people don't understand this sport goes back 4,000 years. I give a lot of speeches, and one of the things I say is the Bible doesn't say anything about soccer or basketball, but, by golly, it says Jacob wrestled the angel. The terms and holds go back to ancient Greece and Egypt. The terms have changed and have become localized.
