This is amazing wrestling that Gotch used. Some of these holds and setups to other holds could be resurrected in today's mma, I believe, as long as the guard game is taken into consideration since jiu jitsu doesn't care about shoulder pins.
And of course striking.
And needless to say, the rear naked choke (or any choke) has to be part of the game - which changes much of the catch wrestler's concerns about not having his back taken and hooks put in - since now he would have to be more vigilant.
But the various nelsons, toe holds, headlocks (and chokes and strangles), crotchholds and arm bars, body scissors and so on could really play a role in today's mma. That's what I see when I read this article and looked at the photos.
Got to read it again!

Yeah, there's some gold mines out there if you know where to look.
