What sports do you know of deserve to be in the Olympics? This is of course excluding the sports that are currently already in the Olympics.
My vote goes to Rock Climbing, Pro Wrestling, Surfing, Fishing, Hunting, Fencing, Bull Riding, and Whitewater Rafting.

Wrestling, Surfing, and Fencing are all already in the Olympics.
Fishing I don't really see that being in the Olympics, but it's a nice idea to start.
Bull Riding = No. However a combination of events from a Rodeo is a maybe.
Whitewater Rafting is a yes. Great potential in teamwork. It would be like a Summer version of Bobsledding.
Rock Climbing may be a bit too risky.

That's not football. That's just going back to the olden Rome days of gladiators.

Not that they aren't worthy as sports, but how exactly would fishing or hunting be done were they Olympic events? They require a lot of random chance, such as the presence of desirable game, and so on. If the animals were stocked it wouldn't reflect actual real-world hunting/fishing conditions, and if they weren't stocked the "winner" would basically be either whoever was luckiest or whoever got to go first.

I don't think he was talking about Greco-roman wrestling, i think he was talking about scripted wrestling.
And didn't the Olympic commission remove (or at least tried to) wrestling from the Olympics? I seem to remember Kurt Angle saying something about that and how he was against it.

They should bring back wrestling as that homoerotic sport has been a part of the Olympic tradition dating back to ancient Greece.
Also, I want baseball back.

Pro Wrestling isn't really a sport dude, although you would be surprised at how many people get injured in it.
I think there was bird shooting in 1896, which could go with fishing or hunting, but they cancelled it, because it killed too many animals. It's probably the same here.

I'd even be happy seeing iaido displays and cutting arts (on tatame, not people obviously) and think they involve the sort of combination of precision and potential for ingenuity that would make for a wonderful olympic sport (and it would rejuvinate practical exploration of the form and function of the sword, rather than merely aesthetic, traditional, and hobbyist contribution to the craft).

I think this, along with horse archery, make wonderful additions to the martial art tradition of the Olympics. I have mixed feelings about them as sports because of their profoundly injurious nature, but then they have wrestling, bobsledding, diving, and several others that have probably equally high rates.

Golf has been introduced as an Olympic sport for Rio (and has been in the distant past as well).
I'd love to see American football, but there is no chance as it has to be played in more than one country...
Squash gets mentioned every four years, but never makes it, and snooker would be good as a virtually certain UK gold medal.
