Women’s breakdancing has a Netflix special…  folkstyle wrestling does not.

And one more amendment.  It wasn’t about breakdancing.   It was not about the popularity of it.  It was how humans and social media and the news ruined her life making fun of her for Being terrible at breakdancing

Just the facts ma’am

also   Clinging to a sport no one cares about is hurting wrestling as a whole.    So there is that

So you agree with the ioc’s data I guess.  

[LJB]

i do not have a clue what the IOC's data is, dummy...

i only know what AI told you that you just parroted with no thought as to the validity even though your AI knowledge base has been proven repeatedly to you just how inaccurate it is...

I think this thread could catch up to "Iran Wrestling News" by the end of 2026.

[LJB]

this thread is a prime example that anonymous forum nerds are really only interested in shitting on things while hiding behind screen names...

there are 4 people on this silly forum who can actually hold a conversation about greco, but, 21 pages of anonymous losers just spewing shit is what gets the traffic...

YEAH INTERNET!!!

Man you are stooping pretty low in order to get people to say that there should be an NCAA weight between 197 and 285.

If these are the only two options, of course.  But in general no.   Not needed in the slightest.

Gotta keep the schtick going any way possible

Kozak really hates greco. He's held a grudge since he was forced to commentate 2025 greco worlds.

Greco at the highest level is not an entertaining product. It reminds me of the freestyle ball draw era. At worlds last year, there were 21 matches in Greco that ended 1-1. In freestyle, there was 1. If you don't think this is a problem, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Guess which tv station / streaming service measures ratings on the # of entrants.    I think it’s zero

a much better point could be made if one was to correlate shit clock points vs passivity points...

and then of course it must be noted that you can have a 2-1 score on shit clock points alone, but, not passivities...

of course that would take considerably more nuance and a metric ton more effort...

Who would know how to correlate?   An audience watches one sport while 3 dudes watch the other.   Two of whom are not American.  
 

If a tree falls in the woods Greco style - will anyone know besides you?

Got who?  NO ONE in this country knows anything about Greco or cares whether your assertion about overseas is accurate.  You know, because we don't live there.  Where is a shooting yourself in the foot gif when I need one?
