The term "rest hold" bugs me because it suggests that all matwork is boring. I'd rather "rest holds" just be called what they are - bad, ill-timed, crowd-killing holds. I realize that's not as easy to type.

Go watch Hogan/Savage from the Feb 1990 SNME and you will see the definitive use of the word resthold during the Buster Douglas/Sherri part of the match.

Yeah, exactly. It's borne of the "workrate above all else" mentality.
