I get a large charge out of people who say that wrestling has changed so much since the 60' 70's or 80's. Wrestling is a 2000 year old sport. Do you really think that it suddenly evolved in the last thirty. I am not of the opinion that the current rules configuration (which is the only thing that has changed one iota) has made wrestling better or worse it is just different. I know it is romantic to say that the wrestlers of your era would have whomped wrestlers of any other era but it just isnt really a factual statement. This state has produced some very very good heavyweights over the years. It would be very difficult to really say which ones would have been dominant but completely foolish to say that any are better simply because of the time that they happened to take the mat. I doubt that the human animal has evolved greatly in the heartbeat of twenty or thirty years. Lots of people would tell you they are softer now than they were then. They would probably be just as wrong.
