Without too much technicality (ages/styles) which age/level is your favorite and why?

A) Youth

B) Middle School/Jr. High

C) High School

D) College

E) International


I'm partial to high school, however, am starting to drift toward college. I like high school because those four years seem (just my own small perspective) to have the most "Wow, he got a lot better!" scenarios.

They are all awesome. I watch a lot more college wrestling with international second. Attend much more college matches than other styles.

Ditto. What he said. Although I'm beginning to gain steam with the international styles now that they have the rules largely fixed from the boredom producing garbage they had for the previous decade or two.

Ditto. However, I am leaning more to the international scene since I find the new rules and style very exciting!
But when it comes to following individuals in the different styles I probably favor high school and college equally. I love seeing how the Ohio kids do against the rest of the world.

Well, you didn't have lesbian mud wrestling as a choice so I guess I will just go with the college style as my favorite, followed by high school, then international.

From one of those guys with the best seat in the house, I prefer HS.
I officiated the college scene for a while and found that I didn't care too much for it. The "riding" in college is "stalling" in HS and I found the difference to be quite amazing.
Believe it or not, the minor rules differences make it very difficult to switch back and forth.
When you have to think about the call, you are likely going to miss it.

My starting point is HS, the echo Jason. My international interests are domestic and usually when the world or Olympic teams are on the line.

High school is near and dear to my heart because I did it.

College is what I enjoy watching most right now.

Freestyle is quickly taking my interest. I of course watched in Olympic years. With Snyder winning last year, I started paying more attention. The rule changes have been influential, though I still don't like a match ending in a tie with the winner determined by who scored last. Because it is better than the ball grab doesn't mean it is the best way.

It has come to the point where I will search for international matches to watch even if broadcast in a foreign language, in part because I'm too cheap to subscribe to a premium service.
