Coach_J 2,051 Report post Posted October 11, 2019 Will never happen, but have always thought it would be cool if Worlds/Olympics did a combined style to determine the most well-rounded wrestler. Coin flip determines if they start FS or GR. In case of two pins, the fastest fall is the winner. Sports like swimming and track allow one guy to win numerous medals by mixing styles and/or distances; wrestling could have this option. 1 grappler111 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDogg 273 Report post Posted October 11, 2019 Awesome idea! Need more one-off creative stuff like this...especially when it’s for a good cause. They’re both 100% going to tech the other in their respective discipline. No way KB survives a full period in freestyle without getting teched...and all KB needs is one takedown to pick up and toss Imar twice to end it. Either that or Imar saves his pride by committing 2 leg fouls and getting DQ’d. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No response.A mixture of Freestyle and Greco with a super fight in Pankration could be awesome. 1 Coach_J reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
