I won't argue that FS/Greco are the world wide styles and that folkstyle is limited to the US.
My only point was that Folkstyle in the US remains relevant year round due college wrestling in the US. Folkstyle dies off in WA State after MAT Classic, but in other States, it continues.
I'm not convinced at all that Folkstyle wrestlers in the US avoid FS/Greco out of fear. I'm sure some may, odds are good anyway; others just aren't interested or see more value in continuing a style that translates more directly to college wrestling.
Frankly, I appreciate and am way more fond of FS than Folkstyle.
