RD350LC_Owner Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Pretty well every country offers wrestling at the post secondary level. Hence why they host the World University Championships. The best come from the eastern block countries. Georgia, or Turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD350LC_Owner Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 or Armenian True say. The US produces a good wrestler probably once every decade. Because people like Cary Kolat, and Dan Gable are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey_Perea Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 The history behind wrestling? It is one of the oldest sports next to track and field events. Dont argue with me on this. Think about it. What do little kids do if they are bored? wrestle, rough-house whatever u wanna call it. and for it in america, it just came here as European countries took over America. Started when all other collegiate sports started. Wrestling is big in Russia, Germany, US, middle east, and western asian countries. The US are the only ones with the fake WWE crap though and the US is the only one who uses folkstyle in schools. Every where else it is freestyle.
