What an absolute dump our great state wrestling tournament has become. A tournament that once a top-notch spectacle of High School wrestling. A theatrical event, sponsored by the Dairy Farmers, and blessed by the voices of Ed Aliverti and others. Now, a corrupt money-making event in a nasty building, disgusting part of the city of Tacoma, and overcrowded slum. The athletes are not showcased rather a spec of chaos. The fans fight over seating and there is no place to park. I wrestled in the tournament when it was at its peak. Now, I go there out of necessity to support those in my family. It is not a fun event but a chore. I would rather go watch a High school basketball game and that is a shame.
