This gets me thinking, wouldnt it be a trip if wrestling and BJJ were designed into some sort of point-based game. This hybrid could be introduced into the olympics eventually.

As for wrestling, it can never change. If it is going to be in the olympics, it must be pure, otherwise the purpose is defeated. Its a really sad day for a lot of people. this could change the future of wrestling for a long time. i think colleges and high school programs in US get shelved little by little. Its so unfortunate.
