Back in the early to mid '80s it was 98. Then, somewhere along the way it went to 103. This year, 106. I honestly don't think it will go back down, but I also don't think it should be bumped up again in the future. There are a lot of very talented wrestlers that would still be challenged due to giving up weight wrestling at 103. The starting weight class should not get bumped again in my opinion, but again, I don't see it going back down.
