From @WrestlingBants: Pro Wrestling in the Olympics. Countries pick their 2 guys. 15 min matches. Judges score on drama/athleticism etc. Thoughts?
It's an interesting idea that seems very unlikely to ever happen. You mentioned to me that this was discussed on a Talk is Jericho episode. I don't think I listened to it because it didn't ring a bell, but just sitting here thinking about it has me intrigued. People in the business often say that pro wrestling is an artform because you need to have a lot of training to have a good match just like somebody performing in live theater needs to practice a lot too. If you understand how pro wrestling works then you know that. The problem with this idea is that there's really nothing or nobody out there that's going to push too hard to get it done. It's not like there will be a clamoring for it by wrestling fans or wresting companies. Is it a fun idea in theory? Sure, but it's also an unrealistic one.
