Two wrestlers engage in a standard submission match for a set time limit, such as an hour. Both wrestlers keep score of how many submissions they have gained in that time. After the time limit is up, the wrestler who scored the most submissions gets to put the submission hold of their choice on the loser, for a duration (in minutes) equal to the number of times the loser made them (the winner) submit. The loser is not allowed to resist or attempt to escape this hold.
What this means is that the more aggressively someone wrestles (and thus the more submissions they score) the less chance that they will be the loser, BUT the longer they will be punished for if they DO lose.
A wrestler who goes easy on their opponent (not scoring many submissions) will be in for less punishment but is more likely to be the one being punished anyway.
Thus the relevance of the name. Your own submissions come back to haunt you.
Where it gets interesting is if a particularly mean wrestler deliberately "jobs" for the first part of the match, submitting when they really dont need to and thus racking up their opponents score, only to become much more aggressive towards the end of the time limit to snatch victory and set their opponent up for a long haul of torture in a hold!
