Wrestling Reinstated to Olympics!!!

Wrestling has been reinstated as an Olympic sport for the 2020
and 2024 Games after being voted in ahead of Baseball, Softball
and squash.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) members conducted a secret
electronic ballot on the issue in Buenos Aires.
Wrestling had been dropped from the 2020 Olympic programme in
February after the IOC assessed the performance of all 26 sports
at London 2012.
On Saturday the organisations 125th session awarded Tokyo the
2020 games.
Names from the world of Wrestling have shown their joy at it
being reinstated on twitter.

#SaveOlympicWrestling. We saved Olympic wrestling. Great! Now

Awesome news :).
We will be getting a lot more talent from the amateur ranks me
thinks, two to look out for The young Finlay's; David who has a
standing offer from the NJPW dojo to start when he likes and his
daughter won The Georgia All State high school title recently
(They live in Atlanta from their WCW days).

I am pleased to see that they have reinstated wrestling into the
2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. A lot of us fans were quite
worried that it would disappear and cause problems for all the
pro wrestling companies, as they would lose credibility too.
