What is Catch Wrestling?

Catch wrestling's ultimate origins were founded in the Ancient Greek Wrestling style which spread through
out the Roman empire. Catch wrestling became tremendously popular across both sides of the Atlantic, especially in the carnivals in the United States of America during the late 19th and early 20th century. The carnival's wrestlers would challenged the locals as part of the show and the locals had a chance to win a cash prize if they could beat the carnival's strongman by a pin or a submission. There were also known as "Pistols, Rippers, Shooters and Hookers". Catch wrestling dominated in American "No holds bars" fighting, real, no rules format with all striking, submissions and eye gouging allowed. A hook was a technical submission which could end a match within seconds. As carnival wrestlers traveled, they met with a variety of people, learning and using techniques from various folk wrestling disciplines, many of which were accessible due to a large invasion of immigrants in the United States during this time.
Catch wrestling contests also became immensely popular in Europe. Traveling wrestlers and European tournaments brought together a variety of folk wrestling styles and disciplines including the Indian variety of Pehlwani, Judo and Japanese Jui jutsu, and others. All of these disciplines played a part to the development of Catch Wrestling.
