"yall rubish." Y'all can't spell. You think you could have taken on ANY of the classic English wrestlers? Those guys were tough. If anyone thinks their life in a modern country today is hard, try going down to the pit everyday, hacking away at coal for hours. So much tougher than the "gangsta" dickheads in your favourites.

Many of the moves were developed around that region - that's why it was called 'Lancashire Catch as Catch Can'. Sure, it shows miners in the 1920s, believe it or not, there isn't much footage of the miners from the 18th century! The history of catch wrestling goes hand in hand with towns like Wigan. And you may call it a head lock, but round these parts it's either known as a neck crank, or 'The Wigan Grobbit'.
Maybe you can tell me where the move originated then, if it wasn't from Wigan.

@judopathoftruth This would be Judo which is A) much younger than catch wrestling and B) heavily influenced by catch wrestling in it's early development (many of the first and second generation Judo guys were also catch wrestlers)

Small world. I learned the same move from eskrima and Indonesian silat.
Good techniques are often somewhat universal. There are only so many ways to skin a cat.
