Honestly, even if wrestling doesn't win it's place back into the Olympics...even if most colleges & high schools through out the U.S.A. get rid of wrestling... it's not going away, EVER. At the very least, wrestling will be turned into "martial art" and practiced in dojo's/gyms across the world. Every wrestler & martial artist in the world realized the importance of wrestling. There will be plenty of people who were great, but just not good enough to hit that top level, or those who retired after hitting the top level, who will help to show the next generation wrestling. It will never go away, it will never die. There will still be wrestling tournaments, at the very least, just like there are Karate or other martial arts tournaments. It may take many years for wrestling to come back to the Olympics, but it eventually will happen, based on it's history, if nothing else.
