No, you can use wrestling to grab it again.  Then try to reclaim it.  Also when the victim dies, the pike will be left on the ground.

That's not nearly as much fun as punching antmen in the mouth while you pray that the bastard your pike is stuck in bleeds to death.   :)

To leave it in the body of the enemy. Only to lose the hold of it, so you can pick it up after you kill the creature with your pike in its head.

I've never gotten wrestling xp from twisting a pike. I just checked, over ten twists with more xp gain. Did that change recently? Haven't update to the very latest version.

It doesn't? I could have sworn that I read somewhere that it does, several places in fact.  

I apologize for the misleading information.  

But on the other hand, its far easier to wrestle a foe who is passed out from pain, and twisting definitely causes that. In fact, you can gain wrestling XP from a passed out foe and you most definetly do not gain any weapon XP for doing it (I just checked it myself.)

You can gain wrestling xp from dodging attacks, which might mislead people into thinking twisting does it.

That much I know is true(which is pretty annoying, as I tend to knock most foes out quickly).
