Why wrestler rhymes the way it does
Wrestler is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the r-coloured schwa, then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 140, assonance 11,679, and consonance 62. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Wrestler works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
