Wrestling routes date back to ancient greece in 700BC. It was an ancient olympic sport that had biting, pulling hair, and scratching. There were no weight classes, so they had two divisions men and boys. That means that probably the bigger men and boys won. The reason for that is that they had more inertia.
Wrestling also affected war as well. The greeks taught soon soldiers at the age of seven the idea of wrestling in an intense manner. The romans also taught their soldiers of wrestling to help them in war. This made close combat more successful for the Greeks and Romans.
Wrestling is a modern olympic sport as well. Now we have weight classes, so the people you wrestle have the same amount of inertia you do. Referee's don't allow any uncontrolled moves just for good old grappling.
