To all the wrestling supporters out there:

I can up with 10 reasons why Squash is better than wrestling, and you can do the same in favour of wrestling. Lets leave it at that.

It's not our fault that the IOC has these insane rules where one sport has to be dumped in the favour of another. If Squash gets into the Olympics I'd be happy, but I'd also feel bad for all the wrestlers - clearly the Olympics is a wrestler's biggest goal. The IOC, Golf and Soccer are the real culprits here.

Event overload is why Squash isn't in the Olympics. One has to be dropped to make way for Squash. I can think of a few that are far less deserving than Squash. Go Squash!!!

I'm sure I speak for a lot of Australians, a yes for squash at the Olympics!

I support...dropping "sports" such as Equestrian and the Modern Pentathlon which clearly are only in place to appease the rich, elitist groups. Drop them and replace with real sports such as wrestling and squash. I feel bad for squash fans and players because your sport does deserve to be in the Olympics! It's represented world-wide, relatively cheap to play, and take heart to be successful. With wrestling in the bid though I doubt it will happen as we bring the same things to the table + hstory
