These sound like fun. Almost a Conan type wrestling era. I wonder how the charts would differ, maybe the new upcoming Vintage charts can create some ideas.

Out of the ring would have an option for people jabbing you with spears to keep you from leaving the ring area.

"In just one cycle of the moon, I will flay the flesh from your bones in a Cimmerian Strap Match!"
Seriously, when is Champions of the Galaxy: The Barbarian Age coming out?

The charts could he simple since matches would probably take place with either a circle of warriors or on a platform.
For the platform, ropes and turnbuckle could be attempts to throw the opponent into the post holding one wrestler’s flag. Deathjump could be a jumping or running move. And out of the ring could be an attempt to hurl the opponent off the platform, where success is an automatic win since the opponent would be in no shape to get back up.
Heck, the commentary and dialogue alone would be worth it.
Og vs. Nob in a Babylonian Battle Hut match!
“Nob will make Og so flat, Og will wish he stayed home and made the wheel!”
“Borblit is so dumb, he failed his armor class.”
“You look like and orc.”
“You smell like a cow.”
“You fight like an elf.”

I just caught some of Conan the Destroyer for the first time in decades, specifically the scene with the ape monster. Funny how that scene scared the wits out of me as a kid but now it just seems overly campy. Anyway the match had the creature using wrestling moves and reminded me of this thread.
I could easily see these as Classics sets that could be used with COTG or LOW. You have the B.C. set, which is cavemen (have no clue how that'd be done), the Barbarian Era (which could be barbarians, wizards, and monsters), and then the Early A.D. Era (which could be Greeks vs. Romans vs. Egyptians and whoever else).
Like others here, I don't know how movesets would be done, but I'd love to see those, especially the Barbarian and A.D. eras.

Apart from wizards, I think the movesets would be all brawling and holds, very little flying. The wizards could have stuff similar to Bishop Hell's Hellfire as finishes.

Conan battling reminds me a bit of when I did Eternal Champions as wrestlers.....fun times.

Conan battling reminds me a bit of when I did Eternal Champions as wrestlers.....fun times. Or Andy Good's Master of the Universe set, with Magic, Weapons, flight or water charts added. |

A year ago before I got back into LOW, I was messing around with streamlined wrestling rules that focused on skills instead of moves. Might work well with a barbarian era since i wouldn’t gave to worry about movesets.
