Pope on a rope. He thought it was cheesy.

Mud wrestling. I was not surprised. Mr. Gelasius has family connections in the Gelatin wrestling field.
In fact, it is a little known fact that Gelasius the Grape, was his grandfather!

Gelasius I (there was also a Gelasius II):
"Closer to home, Gelasius finally suppressed the ancient Roman festival of the Lupercalia after a long contest. Gelasius' letter to Andromachus, the senator, covers the main lines of the controversy and incidentally offers some details of this festival combining fertility and purification that might have been lost otherwise. Significantly, this festival of purification, which had given its name— dies februatus, from februare, "to purify"— to the month of February, was replaced with a Christian festival celebrating the purification of the Virgin Mary instead: Candlemas, observed forty days after Christmas, on 2 February."

It was in fact Lupercalia. It was a pagan festival to honor Pan: the goat-footed flutist.

I think it was the roman festival of Lupercalia
