If it's a sport to jump over a bar with a stick, then it's a sport when you jump off a ladder and moonsault another person's body through a table.

No one is arguing that it's a sport, that's just something you're hung up about (though it would be the only sports entertainment). However sports aren't the only competitive events at the Olympics. Professional wrestling would be a performance like rings, floor routines, ribbon routines, sychronized swimming, figure skating, etc.. Also, the Olympics has an event where rich people dance around on their horses, so it isn't like we should take the Olympics super seriously anyway.

Gymnastics routines, synchronized swimming routines, figure skating routines, dressage routines are all choreographed as well. So there's that.

I don't think that the good name of professional wrestling needs to be sullied with the taint of the Olympics.

They say opinions can't be wrong and then you see something like this.

Jericho is arguing that it's a performance sport like figure skating or gymnastic routines. Which... yes.. yes pro wrestling is exactly that.

But..sexual assault and drug-laced drinks are synonymous with frat party. This headline is redundant.

If it were only acting you'd have a point. And if it were an Olympic event it would be judged by Olympic judges based on metrics set by a committee. Acting can also be a competition, mind you. Auditions for example. Other non sporting events can also be competitions; Video games, dancing, music, etc.. You really aren't making any salient arguments here.
Seems like you're just having fun being a hater.
