Here's one for you Mr. Nowak--On Thursday night I e-mailed channel 9 news and told them of the Championship Tournament in Topeka. Even tried to entice them with the fact that over 7,000 Kansans attend this event every year--the media doesn't care and so It will be up to only those who LOVE this sport to help.

VANFAM7-----THAT IS THE EXACT REASON WE GOT INTO WRESTLING!!!! My whole family helps and enjoys wathcing not only their brother wrestle but we really enjoy cheering on other wrestlers that we have met throughout the years.

BOTTOM LINE--WE HAVE TO TEAM TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS A SPORT THAT FIRST TIME SPECTATORS WANT TO WATCH. Coaches, parents, wrestlers, spectators, directors and everyone needs to help by setting good examples, spredding the word of accomplishments (this includes winning and losing accomplishments--for instance my son really had trouble losing and this sport has taught him that losing just means you have to try harder when you want something or that there could be someone out there that you can learn from.

I'm with you Vince--just say the word--I'll help in any way you need or see fit.
