I like the idea of the pushout rule being added to Folkstyle. There is one perspective that hasn't been talked about that I think would keep folkstyle matches from becoming pushout contests....
In freestyle a pushout and a takedown earn the same reward....1 point.
In folkstyle, I would recommend keeping the takedown worth 2 points and keep the pushout as 1 point. This would encourage wrestlers to try and score takedowns vice just pushing the opponent out of bounds. The risk of attempting a takedown would be worth it.
