exactly Ned, well said. sometimes we have to ask the "kids" what they want and where they want to wrestle. So yes, sometimes it is about the "bling". Is that a good reason to do stuff in wrestling? for the super duper serious ones probably not, but for the vast majority its what the kids want. If they want to go to a tourny for the "bling", then we go. If the bottom line of what I have read throughout all the posts at times, its about keeping kids in the sport. The best part of this sport is the life lessons they get. Hard work and determination leads to success. If that means chasing "bling" then so be it. The more wrestlers invovled will also lead to more competition. Which is what the non"blingers" want. Both sides can be ahppy. Can we all just get along.
