the referee is not wrong

You may be right Harry. I'd like to see the rules, but historically wrestling is a sport where you would attempt to deny your opponent an easy handhold.

These are the rules of the ancient sport Palé:[1]

No intentional hitting or kicking is permitted
No gouging the eyes or biting is permitted, since even the Pankration does not allow these
It is at the discretion of the referee whether or not twisting the fingers with the intention of forcing the opponent to concede defeat is permitted
Grasping the genitals is prohibited
All other holds intended to persuade the opponent to concede defeat through pain or fear are permitted and are an integral part of the contest
Infractions shall be punished by immediate whipping by the referee until the undesirable behaviour is stopped
