Penalties for being held or attacking a held opponent do not apply to wrestlers. Wrestling involves a lot of holding and twisting, and the damage resolution system for punching and wrestling takes this into account.

If the attack roll is successful, consult
Table 43 to find the result of the attack: Cross-index the character's modified attack roll with the proper attack form. If, for example, a character successfully punched with an 18, the result would be a rabbit punch. If he rolled an 18 on a successful wrestling attempt, the result would be a kick. Punching and wrestling attacks can succeed on attack rolls of 1 or less, exceptions to the general rule.
