Chris Jericho Suggests Pro-Wrestling As Olympic Sport

In an interview with The Miami Herald, Chris Jericho offered an interesting suggestion in response to the recent news of the IOC dropping amateur wrestling from the 2020 Olympic Games. After giving his thoughts on the situation, Jericho went on to suggest a unique idea to replace the sport:

[colored_box color=”blue”]“Think about it, pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics, what is it? It’s a choreographed performance that is judged. It’s whoever puts on the best performance. Why can’t you do that with different countries like a Canadian team, an American team and a German team go in there. Then whoever puts on the best match according to the judges wins. You take two of the best American workers in a match against each other and get scored by the judges. It’s the exact same thing as figures skating, so why not?”
