It actually it makes sense. The sport is dying. They need to save it. How do they do that? By promoting the sport in countries not traditionally strong in wrestling. So they change the rules so that the playing field is leveled out and hopefully those countries not traditionally strong in wrestling can begin to win medals, which will create more awareness, more programs in those countries, more participants, and ultimately more revenue.
