How do they drop wrestling from the Olympics?

The thing was based on wrestling and track.

 

[Killah Ray]

They had to drop it cause nobody could live up to the GAWD Kurt Angle....


And to a lesser extent the best wrestlers are going the WWE/MMA route...

 

[aqualung]

And real wrestlers do real things, like that stunt where you shove your thumb into the opponent's anal sphincter to break their hold on ya.

The board voted after reviewing a report by the IOC program commission report that analyzed 39 criteria, including television ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping policy and global participation and popularity. With no official rankings or recommendations contained in the report, the final decision by the 15-member board was also subject to political, emotional and sentimental factors.

That is such BULLshyt

Oh it's true, it's DAMN TRUE

I Dont Even Care About Wrestling At The Olympics But This Sits Wrong With Me, There's Gotta Be A Deeper Reason Behind This

 

[DStyles]

The Olympics are a joke anyways.

But I thank them for snubbing football back in the day, w/o that we wouldn't have the best sporting event in the world, the World Cup
