Word. Co-sign on that..
Anyway, in regards to wrestling, I appreciate the science behind it & effectiveness of it as a combat sport, but it just never interested me much. The wrestling of the Prophet (SAW)'s time was totally different - they stood and tried to throw each other to the ground (which had practical application on the battlefield).
You can't deny that modern combat wrestling looks uber-gay (though I know when you're fighting someone, such concerns are probably the last thing on your mind)..
