No, wrestling is an awesome sport that involves both strength and technique.  If anything should be taken out, it should be table tennis (No offence to anyone of course), it is probably one of the least athletic sports in the Olympics.  This is just my opinion though...

Absolutely not. it isn't like the same country is winning it over and over again like Baseball (which I believe is why it is out). There is really no legitimate reason that I can think of as to why it should.

Actually since table tennis requires lightning reflexes and strategic shot placement, I don't think it should go either. Still I can understand the statement.

As for wrestling, it's Greco Roman, so it just seems fitting for the Olympics. That and it's a competition of strength, technique, and agility, so no it should not be removed from the Olympics.

I was shocked when I heard this. I couldn't believe they would take out wrestling from the Olympics.

I heard part of the justification was that it didn't get good TV ratings. I guess even the Olympics is no longer about skill but ratings. Shameful.

They already have taken it out. Theres about 6 teams competing for like, 1 extra spot though so they might get put back in.
rcarter2 :
They have a 1 in 1 out policy, and they just added some sports. They added rugby 7's which i prefer to wrestling so im fairely happy. There are sports that would have been better to remove though.

From what I have read the Olympic committee decided to reduce the 26 core sports to 25 and it has to compete with about 5 other sports. One of  the being baseball/softball. Also there is the issue of money that the IOC is looking at.

I personally enjoyed watching wrestling, though I could do without it. I'm apathetic on this issue. As long as hockey stays, I'm good. The skiing is fun too. I digress.

I think that wrestling is just fine for the Olympics. Why would they get rid of it?

I don't think they should take all of wrestling out of Olympics, but they should take out one of the categories, because I think there are 3 separate wrestling categories, and I don't think we need them all, but we should at least keep one.

No, Wrestling is a big sport so it would be a bit odd to kill off the sport.

No. It has been in the Olympics forever and should not be taken out. They really need to add more stuff and not subtract things.

I think they should since it isn't really that exciting of a sport to watch. WWE at least has some excitement being fake and throwing chairs, but wrestling is boring as is
