Hey wrestling fans,
I don't know if you heard but the IOC (International Olympic Committee) has dropped wrestling as part of it's summer program and is not consider part of the "25 core sports".

I'm not even a professional sports fan nor a wrestling fan, but the decision was surprising that they got rid of it and not the "modern pentathlon" considering the long history of wrestling. Here's a couple of news articles about it: http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireSto...mpics-18473870

I'm surprised with so many wrestling fans here, nobody on these forums posted about it. And you guys call yourself wrestling fans...tsk, tsk, tsk (Just kidding...

)

(Sorry, if somebody did already post this, I looked through the search function. Anyways, I posted this in "Current Events" since it was more "newsworthy" than adding this on the "Pro Wrestling Discussion" in "TV and Movies".)
