Merle doesn't seem to have any counter to this while his Unkillable suggests that the fight is to last awhile.

I'm not familiar with that fight off the top of my head - is there a way to prevent your Wrestler from instantly closing the distance? The way to not get killed by a grapple-hero is to not get grappled, not beat them at their own game.
Even so: can you do a grease-type spell? Or literal oil/slippery stuff? Essential oil of slipperiness? Something that gives DR against grappling? That's a cheat, but this is the Dungeon Fantasy RPG: monsters get to cheat.
