wrestling match
Grappling athletic contest
A wrestling match is a competitive bout between two wrestlers, whether in amateur, collegiate, or professional formats.
The term applies equally to Olympic-style grappling contests decided by points and pins, and to theatrical professional wrestling events with predetermined outcomes.
Figuratively, any intense struggle or negotiation may be called a wrestling match: Getting him to agree was a real wrestling match.
