What is an "escape"?
An escape in wrestling is a technique used to break free from an opponent's hold or control, typically when the wrestler is on the bottom position, such as when pinned or trapped on the mat. The goal of an escape is to return to a neutral position, allowing the wrestler to avoid being pinned and gain the opportunity to score points or initiate their own offensive moves. Escapes require quick movement, proper positioning, and sometimes a combination of strength and technique to create an opening for freedom from the opponent's control.
Example
The wrestler executed a swift escape from the opponent 's grip.
The wrestler 's quick thinking led to a successful escape.
The crowd erupted as the wrestler executed a dramatic escape.
Exemple
The prisoners are escaping through a tunnel they've been digging.
