mud wrestling
Combat in mire
Mud wrestling is a form of wrestling conducted in a pit of wet mud, typically as lowbrow entertainment rather than competitive sport.
The spectacle—often featuring women in swimsuits—became a fixture of bars and novelty events in the 1980s.
Figuratively, mud wrestling describes any undignified public conflict: The campaign devolved into mud wrestling over who had the worse scandal.
