Please share your wrestling strategy's and what you do to have fun while you beat down on them.

My biter/grabber Orc female loves to feast.
Ive been practicing on townsfolk, ducking into the middle of them then locking and grabbing as many weapons and legs as I can. Then once they're knocked out, I bite them in the face repeatedly.

[doomdome]

Is it not quicker to strangle them? It's the same number of turns as locking & breaking a limb, but it's instant KO instead of them eventually succumbing to the pain of a broken something-or-other.

but then the battle is over way too fast.

After they're unconscious, I try to see how many toes (or other things) I can chop off before they die from blood loss. Also, it seems not to work on some things...

[Jacob/Lee]

Apart from stealing weapons and strangling I never use wrestling. I use kicking and biting a lot though.

I still cant figure out how to  pull limbs off. I was told you grab the enemy somewhere with your hand then move away from them to pull said thing off.  is this right?

[Jacob/Lee]

I don't know if you can pull off limbs, but if you bite somebody in one of their limbs and either A)You're about twice as big as the creature (Human versus Kobold for example) or B) Your biting skill is very high, when you shake you should be able to rip off limbs.

[Mystery]

Grab weapon, steal weapon, throw weapon (-Steel axe- has become lodged in the wound) and repeat.

Wrestling is rather useless, occasionally i will break all the limbs on my opponents bodies, write down their name and leave them there to read up on them in legends.     

[Untelligent]

Engage lone bogeyman. Charge bogeyman to knock it down. Grab bogeyman while it's vulnerable. Punch bogeyman until its buddies get close. Run a few yards away. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Or if it's people I'll just strangle them. Bogeymen are easy to kill, though.

[Psieye]

I like to envision how I once threw a kobold up in the air and decapitated it before it fell to the ground. At least, I think that's what happened when I got my aimed strike in while the target was still in mid-air after my throw.

[IpunchFaces]

I usually just charge in and go for the throat, either biting it off or scratching it. The results usually vary, depends on how helpful the RNG is.

How do you throw people, though?

gouge eyes

strangle

I need to do this...

Has anyone you've incapacitated and left alone gone on to do something interesting, or do they just get eaten by night creatures?

[Chilton]

I only use wrestling to choke initially - Then i go about torturing the insolent swine my weary work.

Trow is an alternative to take down when person is standing. But I haven't found much difference between them. You have to be way bigger than your victim to toss it some tiles away. And even then your adventurer may decide to just throw enemy on the ground.
In a fact, while playing as otherwise unmodded bronze colossus I've seen wolves being thrown 3-4 tiles away and that's all. However some enemies exploded upon collision when they were thrown on the same tile. And I've once thrown wolf that has disappeared after that, really I couldn't find any remains and it couldn't get fly far it was a wood after all, and I was able to fast travel as if there weren't enemies.
Kicks and punches in the body or head proved to reliably send even night creatures to the meeting with the wall. (Usually deadly attacks to the head sometimes resulted in less fatal wound and several tiles of flight)

Some memories of that guy unrelated to topic:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Heck. He was an awesome guy. I've named him Arnie.  He was a hero even in the eyes of goblins and kobolds.  He killed ten titans and somewhere around twenty megabeasts along with forty creatures of the night without a scratch (unsurprisingly). But after some misunderstanding with demon lawgiver he was betrayed by his own men and later had both of his hand fractured by bolts.  So after dumping all crap he had collected during his travels, he found rest in a volcano.
