Reply to comment by open_door_policy in Chris Jericho: "I literally want to go in front of the IOC, the International Olympic Community, and pitch pro wrestling as an Olympic sport. Gymnastics, pairs gymnastics, figure skating, pairs figure skating, what is that? It's two people working together to put on the best performance possible." by SgtThund3r

It's choreographed. It's a dance. Basically the same.

It would only be "basically the same" if all of the athletes were told beforehand who would win the medals and then they competed in way to ensure that pre-determined outcome took place.

Maybe you're missing how this would work. It's a pairs event. Both of them are competing together. It doesn't matter who "wins" the wrestling - the two of them are the one competitor. Like a synchronised swimming team.

In pro wrestling, its not about who wins the match but how they get to that conclusion.
