I love the sport. My son wrestled in college and in Europe with a squad from the U.S. (Freestyle and Greco - Olympic Style - much different and tougher than HS/College).

If the U.S. would incorporate how the rest of the world wrestles, it would be much larger in my opinion. We pussified it (made it gay-ish) here. Everything is on the mat. Everywhere else in the world, you make points on throws, the weight of those throws, and turning your opponent.

Congrats to Mizzou. Keep it up.

Like freestyle and greco but folkstyle is not pussified it is physical as hell just does not allow dangerous throws. I got a kid knocked unconscious from a teammate launching a 5 point throw this year. Kid has severe concussion issues two months later. Those who have ever actually tried wrestling just laugh at all the gay jokes and people who do not understand the sport. They are just show their ignorance of a great and tough sport.
