This is great news. Clearly, women's fencing is much more interesting to watch

This is too bad, but at the same time, wasn't it getting really corrupt? I guess a lot of the sports are, especially when relied on judges, but still, wrestling needs a place.

Worst possible decision ever by the IOC, and that's saying something. It is a foundational sport of Olympic competition. I would put it 2 nd only to the Marathon.

the olympics as a whole is becoming somewhat of a joke. the IOC is just ruining things. as fruity as wrestling seems and as unwatchable as it is from a spectator perspective, its still a foundational sport of the olympics.

Nonsense!! Wrestling was in the Ancient Greek Olympic lineup and is a major spectator sport at the games. How about this gold medal match from London? USA vs. IRAN!!! Tons of people there!!

USA v Iran. Those were the days. Sgt Slaughter and The Iron Sheik had some EPIC battles. The Camel Clutch was as good a submission hold as there was

According to his Twitter account, the Iron Sheik is none too happy about this decision either.

Any man on this forum bidding good riddance to wrestling in favor of roller sports needs to check his card at the door.

Tell me, what is fruity about going head to head with another man in a battle of strength, endurance, and power of will?
If you reply with some whimsical comment about bodily contact I would ask you to tell me about -
- Boxing out in basketball....tend to really throw your backside right into another man's...no?
- Football...plenty of rolling around on top of each other in the pile
You can't make this stuff up. 40 second mark.
"Feel your man, spin into him, make contact with your butt and your legs, get low..."
Tell me again how wrestling is fruity?

I disagree thoroughly about your assessment if wrestling. But that is a great pic to back up your point! It's called disagreeing without being disagreeable.

this comes from your 2 best hs friends being wrestlers and having a brother that loves mma. nothing better than getting those dopes all riled up.
wrestling is actually one of the most physically demanding sports there is.
