  WRESTLING,   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Collegiate wrestling is a form of freestyle wrestling highly popular in the U.S. One distinctive feature is that a fall can be scored by only pressing the shoulders of an opponent to the mat for 1 sec.
In addition, collegiate style permits the use of the closed body scissors and adheres to a fairly elaborate point system that gives credit for time advantages, that is, time spent on top of an opponent, in lieu of achieving an actual fall.
Today, however, exhibition wrestling is the only form of professional wrestling currently popular in the U.S. Because the chief purpose of such wrestling is entertainment, both the action and the outcome of exhibition matches are carefully rehearsed in advance to be dramatic or humorous.
