After reading what everyone has offered on the topic, I am beginning to reconsider my thinking. It probably is a good thing to segregate the classes, if for no other reason than to separate the opinions of who may be the best. back in the late sixties and early seventies, before grand state, there was a sort of informal grand state tournament at salina that the Missouri valley AAU (no USA wrestling then) hosted, the state champions from the (then) two different classes usually attended, and in the three years I went, I saw most of the state's great wrestlers compete head to head. It was a great money maker for the AAU and neat to be there, you could go and compete in the same bracket with the state's best without having to qualify! Now, if some USA wrestling club would put on an invitational like that,( maybe Salina) the guys that would want to could compete to see who was best and those content to be a champion in their class and let it go at that could stay home, and some club could make enough money to run their program the next year.
maybe that would make everyone happy. I think, upon retrospection, that everyone deserves a chance to wrestle in their own class, with their own peers, in peace. alas, leave it like it is.
