wrestletopia "new submission" system
====================================
todo:
- don't reward button mashing, you need to be deliberate
- some submissions can result in pinfalls (e.g. figure 4 leglock)
- transitions/reversals
- striking during some submissions (if limbs are free)
- manual rope escape for matches where rope escape deducts points
- double team submissions (e.g. one person does boston crab, other does camel clutch)
- body part damage is tied to "effectiveness"
- rest holds (non-submission moves)
- using ropes for leverage (heel tactic)

This system requires a lot of thought, as I don't think it's been attempted in
any previous wrestling game.
