In its day, this must've been in the same league as The Undertaker versus The Big Show.

Somebody else on this site wrestled with an angel and wouldnt let it go so it broke her LEG to get out of her grip. Pissed her off so bad she is telling everybody it was a demon.

I think the scripture is very clear in that the fight ended as a "No Contest" since Jacob was unable to proceed with the injured hip.
The same thing periodically occurs when a fighter is head-butted by the opponent and due to the severity of the injury, the bout cannot continue.

he is a "messenger" or "angel" (mal'akh).
Doesn't mal' akh sound an awful lot like Molech?

Molech, the word means "king." And the name of the other famous OT god, Baal, simply means "master."

You mean like "King of Kings"?

Has anybody seen the huge sculpture of this by Epstein?
When I walked toward it in the exhibition, it looked like two huge wrestlers,
one behind the other, indulging in anal sex. The angels testicles hang way down between his legs. jacob looks as if
he is being pressed against a wall by the angels forearm. It is almost a sleazy backalley scene.
The sculpture really brings out the homoerotic aspect of the story hinted at by the angel touching Jacobs inner thigh.
