Freestyle Wrestling is the modern version of catch-as-catch-can, with a couple of changes to the rules. Professional catch-as-catch-can also included hooking (submissions, pain moves), which were not used during amateur tournaments.
Freestyle wrestling came to the Olympics under the name catch-as-catch-can, before it was changed to simpler "freestyle".
