hmm when i read the title i thought we were talking about how the Olympics canceling wrestling would affect MMA... pro wrestling has always been a watered down substitute (while some people were very entertaining and the product was well written) it doesnt compare to the real thing when 2 people actually trying their hardest to make sure the story they wrote in their head comes true.. vs the ones writers put down on paper...
WWE was the reason i accidently watched TUF one night so i say that it could totally effect people since i am proof... i just decided to catch the end of RAW one night and TUF was on after so i watched it... hook line and sinker compared to professional wrestling
but to what i thought the title meant i think wrestling being canceled could have a trickle down effect that eventually cuts down on the number of high schools that have a wrestling program... so in the short run all of the wrestlers will go to MMA instead of the Olympics and MMA would have some really high level wrestlers in there.. but in the long run wrestlers will die out unless more private clubs are created to continue to nurture the sport.. possible but idk if its likely
