The straight-body scissors is not wrestling. It is basically a move for punishment. Squeeze the crap out of the guy on bottom until he cannot defend a turn. Officials never apply the proper ruling to it and you can break a guys ribs with it. It isn't wrestling to me. It works in youth and some hs wrestling but I have never seen it used effectively in college.
