Style 012707C, which you refer to as a “wrestling singlet,” is a one-piece step-in garment constructed from finely knit fabric.

Style 012707C extends from the neck to the mid-thigh and has a low, rounded front neckline; a low back neckline; oversized armholes; shoulder straps that measure one and three-quarter inches wide; and short legs with gripper strips.
