Well, in wrestling, submissions are more of a way to wear down your opponent unless it's a finisher like the Ankle Lock or Sharpshooter. When moves like those are put on, it's realistic enough that they fight through the pain, at least for a bit. The struggles add to this.

Sleepers, headlocks and leg locks are usually used for resting themselves up (hence "rest hold") and to set up the next set of moves, so I don't think that rest hold-type moves will ever change, as they are a staple in the match itself, both to the fans for wear down and to the workers for setups and rests.
