Freestyle Wrestling

Collegiate Wrestling and Freestyle Wrestling are pretty similar but with a few differences

•For example you are allowed to lock around your opponents body without one of his arms in your lock
•Pushing your opponent out of the ring will award you one point
•Also if you throw someone like with a souplex then you automatically win the match
•If your on bottom and your opponent is on top of you then you can stall because if 15 seconds go by and your opponent cant get any points on you then the match is stopped and started back in neutral position
