Riding Time

Riding time in wrestling refers to the period when a wrestler holds their opponent on the mat and controls them without creating any scoring opportunities, such as a pin or near-fall. It is a measure of control and dominance during the match. The wrestler gains riding time by maintaining position and pressure, which can influence the overall score. Wrestlers aim to increase their riding time to accumulate points or to set up situations that lead to a pin or additional scoring opportunities, effectively showcasing their control advantage in the match.
