The skeletons were unearthed in Northern Italy and an anthropologist said it was obvious they were hugging. When I saw the picture (in today's news) it looked as if they were wrestling. What did you think?

No, I think they were definitly hugging. They were lying down by each other in each other's arms, and if they were wrestling, I'd bet they wouldn't have had both arm of each wrapped around the waist. They would probably go for the neck, or back of the knee in they were wrestling, and also, its just beautiful to think that they died hugging each other instead of alone in the world.

Why would they have been buried "wrestling?" I don't know about hugging, but the "embrace" they were in was not natural for two people dying fighting. It was much more intentional than that, and they were in a burial position. If they determine that the sexes were different, a "hug" would be more logical.
That said, I agree with you that it is not necessarily "obvious" what they were doing. The researchers may be reading into it too much, though not necessarily. Taking into consideration the nature of when they died, how young they were, and the position of the skeletons, it does appear that it was a ritual burial. So maybe they were hugging afterall! It is all theory at this point, either way. Very interesting.

I think they were hugging. They might have been doing "hehehe" when a volcano erupted and covered the city with ash.

Since they were two male skeletons I would assume they are wrestling, or.......

I THINK THEY WERE HUGGING B/C IF THEY WERE WRESTLING I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE DIED IN THAT POSSITION.
