I mean really, how long as it been since the Olympics were actually about actual athletic competition?

Sadly it is all about the bucks.

Not that too many in the US would miss wrestling. When was the last time American TV even covered Olympic wrestling?

Ya. Like a whole slew of Olympic Wrestlers went Pro after the Olympics?

What? There's all one of them?

In what is known as one of the most famous moments in Olympic wrestling history, Dietrich of Germany suplays America's 420 lb. Chris Taylor, earns 5 points, a pin and most likely a very sore shoulder

The bigger they are, the more it hurts when they fall on you.

That's right up there with one of my old favorites: The bigger they are, the harder they hit.
