All-in Wrestling With A Ram

Ron, what entertained me is how he called a ram - Old Nicke, which is another word for Satan, Devil, so in fact that man fought with a devil himself and 'cast hime and smote him on the head' (head and shoulders come to the ground first, fair back fall hahaha), pure folklore which I love the most...by the way it was 'Lancashire way of throwing' that he did, kind of a "fireman lift" (he took hold of hornes and one of his feet), he dropped on his knees to take a "proper hold". In old English folkstyle dropping on the knee(s) was a sign of defeat, remember they mostly wrestled - first down to lose. It was allowed ONLY in Old Lankishire to drop on the knee(s) in order to get a good under-catch, lift your opponent bodily off his feet and cast him on his head, that was an ultimate victory in wrestling. Back then there were 2 kinds of Lancashire wrestling, stand-up for a thrut (the one from this old story), and up-n-down when you have to take down your opponent and keep him on his back in chest-to-chest position for as long as possible until he gives up failing to reverse his supine position, if he was successful in that and got on top of you then he has to keep you on your back until you give up resistance and etc.
