Lancashire wrestling and catch-as-catch-can are synonymous. Catch-as-catch-can wrestling is Lancashire wrestling. Therefore catch-as-catch-can was extant in Britain before it transferred to the United States. (see your entries for Lancashire wrestling and catch-as-catch-can wrestling). 86.31.193.211 15:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC) Donald Black
Regarding capitalisation: Schwingen, the Swiss national sport, is an exception as ALL nouns in German are capitalised (have a capital initial) therefore Schwingen is ALWAYS written with a capital initial, as is Ranggeln, the Austrian folk style which you seem not to have heard about yet. 86.31.193.211 15:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC) Donald Black

Hi, Spagooder, I'll review this. Hope to come back soon. Best wishes. PearlyGigs ( talk) 05:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Just to let you know I've made a start by doing some tidying and I've provisionally classified it as a C, pending completion of review, as it certainly isn't a stub. By the way, I had to laugh when I read "theatrical professional wrestling" in the lead! I'm going to be busy in real life from now for the next couple of days but will hopefully be able to find time to complete the review over the weekend. PearlyGigs ( talk) 12:41, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi again, Spagooder. I think this is an excellent piece of work on an interesting (indeed, fascinating) subject that is not well-known despite its historical significance. I am promoting the article to WP:GA. Very well done. PearlyGigs ( talk) 11:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
