Wrestling removed as an Olympic sport

[Skooby]

I'm not into wrestling at the Olympics like that but I do watch the gold metal rounds. How can this actually happen? Shyt just seems weird to not have it.

Curling has nothing to do with the summer olympics

 

[Carlos Huerta]

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...

not true at all

yall fukk nikkas mad because yall can't see 2 half naked fags grabbing on eachother? fukk wrestling

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

don't think i ever watched a non-WWE/WWF wrestling match in my life, but wrestling is clearly a founding event of the Olympics, Olympic committee is buggin.


and I'm still advocating for pole dancing to be an Olympic sport, that shyt is more athletic, graceful and entertaining than fukking speed walking & rhythmic gymnastics. like really, how did broads waving ribbons and hula hoops become a sport?

 

[patscorpio]

there has to be some reason because as far as i know amateur wrestling is not struggling at all

The Olympics is a business, and removing wrestling from it was a business move.

 

[El Bombi]

They cut baseball, softball, wrestling, but keep table tennis and badminton.

[FaTaL]

[Mantle Drunk]

If you have a enough people to compete I feel they should never remove a sport especially fukking wrestling and I really don't give a fukk about wrestling. Baseball I get softball because there's like 5 countries max that play but baseball and wrestling
