From a financial perspective, modern pentathlon is a sport no one cares about. It should have been taken off the Olympic schedule, not wrestling.
I think that in all honesty, this is just an attempt by the IOC to get bribes from former Soviet countries to bring wrestling back as the "conditional sport" for 2020. It is competing with baseball/softball, karate, roller hockey, and some other sports to be the 26th sport for 2020.

Four of the best American achievements in the olympics happened in wrestling. Dan Gable in 1972 didn't give up a single point en route to the Gold Medal.
