I was hoping to get some back up from fellow wrestling fans, but the couple that have responded seem to be content with the status quo. With that said, I respect everyone's opinion. Some just don't care for wrestling, and it's hard to compare the athletic abilities of a basketball player and a wrestler. Basketball players are the most athletic out there. The things they can do are amazing.
I'm not wanting people to think that wrestling is better than basketball, just saying that you can support both as wrestling produces a good product.
I'll keep up the fight. My hope is to have those that are on the fence realize that watching wrestling can be just as exciting as the other sports. Especially if you're a hawkeye fan.
I didn't take it that way, but the popularity of wrestling just isn't equal to that of bball. I'm just putting that out there. It doesn't help the seasons are simultaneous. Also, there is no pro-wrestling. and if you say WWE or whatever then I will change my opinion of you. I'm just saying the following for bball is bigger, even in Iowa.
I did not grow up wrestling as neither did any of my friends, hence we don't follow it. If you grew up a wrestler you follow it and love it. That's great, but I think it biases your opinion as I don't think there are as many people that grow up involved as you think. Wrestling is big in Iowa, but not as big as bball, and as wide spread as you may think. Even in highschools bball is much bigger than wrestling.
