Wrestling can be traced back to cave drawings in France, but the pro wrestling that we see today is thought to have originated in the late 1800's. It is thought that the first pro wrestling shows were held at carnivals. Contributed by Punkrock Wrestling

What is the origin of the phrase 'catch as catch can'?

Its origins have been traced back to as early as 1393. It means to make do with what one has. This phrase was adopted by the wrestling world two or three hundred years ago (Lancashire wrestling) to distinguish free-style wrestling from Greco-Roman wrestling (which doesn't allow certain holds).
