Which of these three styles do you like to wrestle best?

Which do you like to watch best?

I've only ever competed in Folkstyle, but my favorite to watch is Greco.

What can I say, I love the throws.

I've covered Folkstyle for so long, but would like to learn more about the intricacies of freestyle and Greco.

Like they say - if you ain't learnin', you ain't livin'. Always looking to learn a little more each day...

I love freestyle and folkstyle. It's fun in freestyle because of the throws, but you can do some of the throws in folk also. So it works out to be good in both ways, lol. I've wrestled maybe a total of 30 minutes of Greco, and that was just practicing.

The thing I love about Greco is the absolute carelessness of the stance. You can have your legs way out in front and it's ok, cuz the other guy can't attack them. The Ellenberger v Nelson match in the Greco Finals at Kearney was awesome.

I like to watch greco especially when the winner of the world championships goes to jump in his coach/teammates arms and gets launched!!!!

Name some matches that were big wins, all because of a big throw.

Who were some of the best throwers in the high school ranks?

With the demise of freestyle wrestling in the state will we see a drop in the number of good throwers in Nebraska high schools?

Whether or not the good "throwers" exist in the future would all depend on the coaching. There are some excellent throwers that can control their opponents return to the mat while raising the level of excitement a notch or two..

Note the operative phrase "control their opponents return to the mat"
