i honestly think that in wrestling, america has a deeper competition pool than japan does. the best wrestlers from the u.s. would smash japan's best any day. if kid tried out for the u.s. olympic team, he wouldn't even get close to qualifying. you gotta compete with the best to be the best and in wrestling japan ain't the best.
but kid would put hands on him. no doubt about that. |

Kid wrestled in the US in Cali buddy.. and Japan is Top 5 in the world either way. He only tries out for Japans wrestling team cuz of his dad, plus he only missed the olympics due to injury.

Besides have you seen the annual results in freestyle wrestling in the olympics at Kids weight class? Japan wins just as many medals, and as many gold medals as the United States does.

He was a three time HS state champion and he couldn't make it to a Div I school?
You do realize that most current Olympic wrestlers are opting to bipass college and go straight to training Freestyle? And you do realize that Kid is probably going to wrestle in the Olympics this year?
He is currently the best or second best wrestler in MMA... Koscheck, Faber, Hendo couldn't make the Olympic team right now... basically every fighter besides Lindland and Kid couldn't make the Olympic team currently.
