Country of origin

Archaeologically regarded and historically considered, Iran is the origin of freestyle wrestling. --Wiki-in-basel (talk) 13:26, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Scoring

I will be putting up the different ways of scoring and their point values according to USA Wrestling Rule Book of 2011 (). Is this an okay rule book that people like?

Freestyle & Folkstyle

I have corrected this article to pertain to freestyle wrestling. Not folkstyle. -- TimECarter

Collegiate

much of this article refers to the american style of collegiate wrestling and not freestyle wrestling.

hehe this is collegiate wrestling with some high school rules... not freestyle

Scoring

Can someone please add a section on scoring? It would be handy to have the various ways of scoring points and how many points they are worth.

Working on this page

Greetings. It's a little late in the evening for me to work much longer on this tonight, but I'm planning to put some work in on it in the very near future. There's some good information from the Amateur wrestling page that I dumped over here, and I'll work on reorganizing it. For the record, I'm a freestyle/greco referee, so I hope I'm qualified to help out here. Mytildebang 05:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

A ton of people keep deleting links that are pertinent to the sport.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.36.21.205 (talk) 01:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Controversial text removed

text removed from article :

"its American counterpart",i do folk so all u bitches can suck it edit: Ignore the crossed off statement. Though very impolitely justified, the removal of the text was correct and should not be undone. A more succinct explanation follows below.

Argument:

• The two styles of wrestling, are not necessarily counterparts, in this context. Lithmus Today (talk) 06:30, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Merge in the article on Freestyle grappling?

Should the article on Freestyle grappling be merged into this one? It's not clear that the topic is fundamentally different.EastTN (talk) 18:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Techniques

I was looking for techniques when I came to this article and I didn't find anything! I think that a section needs to be added about various techniques used in freestyle wrestling. Kolrok (talk) 07:30, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Main Types

The intro talks of 4 main types of wrestling, and then says the other 2 are... That's ony 3 types :0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.214.54.198 (talk) 02:11, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

In the intro, it says: "The other five forms are as follows:"

Then, six other forms are named. Euro Paer (talk) 23:58, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Takedowns/Scoring

Could you provide information on takedowns and types of takedowns their are in freestyle wrestling? And coulee you provide more details on scoring?

Women

Why is it called Women's freestyle wrestling? This implies that it's different from (Men's) Freestyle wrestling. Also UWW calls it Women's wrestling. Is it different from ordinary freestyle wrestling? If so, how? If not why is it not simply called Freestyle wrestling (men's and women's divisions)? 213.149.51.126 (talk) 01:39, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
