2020 Olympics with no Wrestling

Posted by 7Tiffanie on February 13, 2013 at 9:45am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

The 2020 Olympics are not going to have Wrestling. They just about any game you could think of but they are dropping wrestling. I guess it was ranked low. What do you guys think. SHould wrestling be dropped? Wrestling has been in the Olympics ever since it started over 2,000 years ago is it really worth dropping it?

I think that that is very bad idea, if the wrestling has been in the Olympics from the start it should continue that way because if not for anything else than because of the tradition.

It definite shouldn't be dropped. It's the oldest Olympic event, it has an obvious indisputable winner and loser unlike a lot of modern events , and where else are the best wrestlers supposed to compete? the WWE?

I think they could have dropped another sport. Like one that hasn't been part of the olympics for so long. This sport has been there from the beginning so it's part of the origional sports.

I don't think that wrestling should be dropped, especially since it was on of the first sports to ever be in the olympics.

I don't think they should have dropped it either wrestling's been around for so long and it's way better than some games in the Olympics that seem really stupid..

i think that something less popular should be dropped and wrestling should have an advantage because it's been around for so long so i think they should keep it in the olympics

I think it is dumb that they would do this. Some of the best athletes in the world are wrestlers. And think of all the people that have been training their whole life to wrestle in the Olympics, and now they don't even have the opportunity to.

There are so many other sports they could have dropped! Especially since wrestling has been in the Olympics for so long! I think they should keep it.

Yeah!! I think its really sad that they dropped wrestling! Like think about all of the people who are in Wrestling that have dreamed about wrestling in the Olympics!! So i think they should keep it.

When you look at what they all have in the olympics there are so many other sports they could have dropped! People at least watch wrestling compared to some of the other sports they have like table tennis and stuff that they really don't even follow on tv!
