They do have wrestling. Its called amateur wrestling which ironically is a legitimate competition. If you mean Pro wrestling, then i dunno what else to tell you but... heck no.

Wrestling has been part of the olympics for over 100 years. Also Kurt Angle did not win them from Henry. Angle won them by defeating Abbas Jadidi by decision. Mark Henry was in the 1992 Olympics and took 10th (So much for the world's strongest man title) Then in 1996 he finished 14th, lifting 831 pounds in total: 386 in the snatch and 445 in his only attempt at the clean-and-jerk.

Wrestling is in the olympics and when Kurt Angle won it he was a real wrestler. Not WWE. WWE style wrestling will never be in the olympics because its not real and its only entertainment.

Wrestling will only be in the olympics when the selectors see disciplin, attraction from fans and non-abuse in it. If this is not there there is not much chance. But now I think due to the organization there is still some hope during 2012 Olym.

Wresting IS a part of the olympics, there is Greco Roman that I know of and it even opened up to women's wrestling too.

uh...wrestling is in the olympics...more than one style in fact, ie. greco-roman, freestyle, etc. WWE type wrestling will never be in the olympics because it is not real. You're serious aren't you?

Wrestling IS in the Olympics.
If you didn't recognize it it's because it's got less flash and more talent.
