Fencing and archery, other medieval sports, are already in the Olympics.

How can you dis wrestling? It is one of the most basic and pure sports in the olympics? I'd understand a problem with rhythmic gymnastics, or Ice Dancing, but wrestling?

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

fun to watch

Or else, turn in your ManCard.
