If USAW or FLO posted that Gut Check was a top tournament you would still have an excuse or reason why it isn't (which FLO did in 2020 btw). I don't know those publications intensely, but I would imagine they aren't run by geeks in a basement, but who knows. I guess my question is why do you post anonymously. Is it because you think if I found out I would retaliate? Clearly if you believe what you say, you would put your name by it and face any consequence I felt would right the wrong.

There are a some folks, including DaveG that know a few who have said negative things about me personally or about Gut Check either on the board or to others that got back to me. One coach was fired after the AD and Superintendent heard he was slandering me, and it just so happens that school district gave me a philanthropy award prior to that incident. Then last year a sought after club coach was denied a coaching position at top high school program when the AD heard he was slandering me, and left the meeting in tears. Again, a district in which I had been recognized for philanthropic work and had a great relationship with the admin. Just recently some random official made a comment about me and was told not to return to that association if it happened again. Despite your efforts I worked hard to be plugged in to this community and as you see, other than anonymous posters, I am the standard.

So yes, I get you want to continue to bash me anonymously. Ironically I just keep doing more things every year for this sport I love, and you post on a message board. Gotta love the keyboard warriors that watch everyone else do the work. Do you think your posts do anything for the betterment of wrestling is what you should be asking. Do you understand for the past 10 years I've been hearing this same shit yet I'm the one you still talk about. Did you ever think you're what fuels the fire? As I continue to bring top wrestling to WA and work to bring back college wrestling you anonymous posters can piggy back on my efforts and enjoy sitting in the stands watching. Amen LOL.
