mudwrestling

Pit of grappling

Mudwrestling is wrestling in a pit of mud, typically as entertainment rather than serious athletic competition.

It became a fixture of bars and novelty events in the late 20th century, often featuring women in bikinis: The club advertised Friday night mudwrestling.

The mess is the point—spectacle over sport.
