Why isnt WWE an Olympic sport?

>>1599292
That'd be like making Seinfeld or the 6 o' clock news an Olympic sport.

Better question, why don't they just compile all the different WWE "special moves" into a new martial art?

>>1599292
Historically, professional wrestling doesn't feature in the Olympics because it's not an amateur contest. However, that standard has been eroded. The main reason for it not featuring these days is that relatively few countries would be able to contest the medals.

That'd actually be kinda cool

They actually could. Each country fields a singles pair and a tag team pair. They are given a certain amount of time and would need to perform certain compulsary actions plus a few spots that make each team/match unique.

Judging would be similar to gymnastics and in this sense they would be grading a match based on the above requirements while integrating a subjective "excitement/artistic merit" score.

Problem is only USA and Japan could seriously compete. Canada and Britain maybe.

And if you don't have the performers from different countries competing against each other directly then how will we ever get Cena vs Tanahashi?
