Pro-wraslers couldn't wrestle themselves out of a paper bag. Most would be totaly lost in a real match.
Amateur wrestling is a lot different. It is a real sport with real athletes. I played football, basketball, some soccer, and wrestled. Wrestling was, by far, the most physically demanding of any of those sports.
Too true. Although, when I was a younger man, and watched that trash, I did see Tony Garrea execute a sit-out/turn-in while on all fours in an old WWF match back in the '70's. It was very sloppy and he failed to reverse his opponent, but the move was unmistakable.
Another big beef I have is that no matter who covers the Olympics, televised coverage of the best athletes in the world is comprised of approximately 15 minutes of one or two matches spread over 2 weeks of sport. I mean, if it wasn't for wrestling...there would be no Olympics!
