"Admiral-Lord Mountevans rules are a set of professional wrestling rules mainly used in British wrestling.
They were named after Edward Evans, 1st Baron Mountevans, who chaired a committee in 1947
to write a unified set of rules for professional wrestling in the British Isles, defining what holds were legal and how a fall could be scored.
The style of wrestling under the Mountevans rules was advertised by promoters as Modern Freestyle Wrestling."
