This is a photograph taken of a wrestling match in the late 20th century. The picture is black and white. Two wrestlers are in the middle of the spongy black wrestling mat. Both wear tight dark singlets that leave their shoulders uncovered and are mid-thigh length. The bottom wrestler is in a balled-up position on his hands and knees. His head is ducked down touching the mat. He attempts to remove the top wrestler’s hands from his abdomen. His opponent, however, is leaning into him. All of the opponent’s weight is on top of him, as the opponent is on his feet, crushing the hips of the bottom wrestler. The top wrestler is trying to break down the bottom wrestler and prevent him from escaping to his feet. The match could be decided by whether or not the bottom wrestler is able to escape or not. The top wrestler appears to be winning at this moment.
