Anything higher than college/Olympic wrestling isn't worth watching to me. Too fake. At least the college/high school kids are actually competing.

The sad thing is fake "wrestling" is reasonably popular. Go to a high school or college wrestling match and nobody is there (other than parents). It's kind of sad.

True


But many college wrestlers went on to pro wrestling

Bob Backlund, Greg Gagne, Brad Rheingans and the Iron Sheik; to name a few


Also Olympic weightlifter Ken Patera became a pro wrestler
