Most British fans can usually pick up on the sports they're watching at the London Games pretty quickly — even if they'd never seen it before.

With wrestling, not so much.

The two differing disciplines, Greco-Roman and freestyle, the multitude of moves and a scoring system that rarely makes sense can leave newcomers shaking their heads.

On the train to the ExCel Centre on Thursday morning, the conductor shared a story over the loudspeaker that illustrated just how confused some of the locals are.

"There was (a) woman on here yesterday who said she was going to see 'Gecko-Roman' wrestling," the conductor said. "I assumed that was two lizards fighting."
