Points in Wrestling are earned by executing takedowns, reversals, escapes, and near falls during a match. Takedowns involve taking your opponent down to the mat and gaining control. Reversals occur when a wrestler escapes from being controlled by their opponent and gains control themselves. Escapes involve breaking free from an opponent's control. Near falls are when a wrestler almost pins their opponent's shoulders to the mat. Each of these actions earns a wrestler a specific number of points, with the ultimate goal being to outscore the opponent by the end of the match.
