Isn't Greco the "original" wrestling?

Is there anyone besides FILA that likes the rules as they are for Greco?

How would it go if you were King of FILA, Schlottke?

The two major changes would be to not allow a 1-1 period be a win for either wrestler and a wrestler who won two periods but lost by total match points would not just win. If the wrestlers split these two forms of victory I'd like to see an overtime period that was wrestled until the first offensive points were scored. (or the most points scored in a flurry... however you would want to create more offense)

that is if they kept the 'three periods' system they currently run...

I'd personally like to see an Olympic match run 7 minutes or longer straight through and actually test all of the capacities a wrestler is supposed to have.

7 minutes straight through would be great to watch!

It would be a great match but wouldn't fly anymore. The problem we've had in the past are the long boring, drawn out matches.

As opposed to a match that people who wrestled their entire lives need an explanation to understand.

some matches are more boring than others, but on high level wrestling cant be boring to me. Look at the sports like swimming, cycling or whatever... arent they 10 times more boring than a low scoring high level wrestling match?
