Catch: The Hold Not Taken looks at the origins of catch wrestling and the techniques that later became part of pro-wrestling. It covers the roots of the sport in Westmoreland, Cumberland and Cornish Wrestling, Bill Riley's Snake Pit Gym, Riley's influence on Karl Gotch as expllained by Tatsumi Fujinami and while it does have an old school wrestler taking a pop at the modern for of entertainment, this video is certainly worth picking up if anyone has a genuine interest in the evolution of wrestling and the days when Boston Crabs were not considered weak finishers.
