wrestling sounded pretty good if you were into 24/7 chawdips to avoid eating and also getting a bunch of medieval skin worm things and maybe running around for hours wearing sweaters or some stupid crap
they did latex suits when I was in high school. my dumb high school take was "if you're the toughest mother rough rider that you say you are, why are you so afraid of wrestling someone in the higher weight bracket?"
The entire culture, as someone who has never been around it, seems cringey

I thought the same thing until my daughter started wrestling. Totally changed my outlook on the sport once we got involved. Also, the weight cutting thing has changed a fair amount from the past. Kids will still cut weight, but I don't think the majority of them are cutting a crazy amount. Most of the kids we are around just pay very close attention to what they put in their bodies during the season (and after for that matter). The only kids we had that struggled a bit with weight from time to time used the YOLO approach to diet during the season.
