My friends and I are fans of wrestling. I wrestled in HS, but they did not. What do we prefer to watch? Freestyle. It has an intensity that is lacking in folk. The bottom game is boring, unless you were a folkstyle wrestler. Yes, college wrestlers are conditioning machines, but technical wrestling is more interesting to fans. The idea of "control" on the bottom in folkstyle isn't really control in a combat sense...nobody in their right mind would face the ground in a combat situation. It's just a thing in folk that is boring, and in freestyle they minimize that. We want to see takedowns and throws.
