I love it, I love Collar and Elbow too. That said I've never really been able to play it, my family is Irish-Scottish emmigrants with a memory of the game and a vague idea how it's played but we never really played it much.
I don't really know anyone else interested in playing it now days, else I would be playing it still.

If it's gonna make a comeback with any crowd, I'd expect the highland games types to be the most receptive.

I wish it would turn mainstream, with tournaments like ADCC but for this type of wrestling. Seems more entertaining than BJJ.

Specific folk styles like this are usually relegated to a very niche audience, and the occasional study session by people on their way to World's. Maybe with the collar and elbow, you'll see that with judo. But sumo isn't even mainstream, and that's huge with it's home crowd. The AD part of ADCC is pretty important to it's promotional capability, even without all the actively training adults.
