I don't recall ever watching a wrestling match in which a pinned athlete was dominated completely for 8 seconds before being able to attempt to break the pin. Would it not be more realistic to simply have the pin impose a DX penalty on the victim?
Heh. I have made a small career adapting my take on grappling rules to various systems. Perhaps TFT needs to be next, though I rather suspect it would be even shorter than Fantastic Dungeon Grappling, which itself came in at only eight pages.
