Underground wrestling tournament

Posted by Coach Mike on 1/7/2021, 10:35 am

Coaches and parents.

In Spokane we've have been trying hard to keep wrestling alive. One of the things we started doing are mini Round Robin tournaments. The response has been great. But there's always room for more wrestlers. To make everything run smooth, we divided up the tournament by age groups.

Here's the details, copied from flyer:

Underground Wrestling Rules
• No arguing with refs
• One mat, ¼'d up. Matches will only be stopped only for safety
• 20$ entry
• No social media posts about this. Instant ban if you do...
• Pre-register using Paypal. @spokanewrestling Include your wrestler’s name, age and weight in payment notes
• No street shoes on mats
• Parking is severely limited, make plans to carpool
• Pack it in, pack it out

5-6-year-olds
Wrestling starts at 9:00am
7-8 year-olds
Wrestling starts at 10:30am

Gona make money off your event you need to pay Dave

He already has..

Posted by Dave G on 1/7/2021, 4:19 pm, in reply to "Re: Underground wrestling tournament "

I certainly appreciate "Hmm" for watching out for the site but Mike is good.

He got it all taken care of this morning. I just now got around to getting it posted above.

I appreciate the efforts guys are making to try and provide some wrestling. It is a very tough situation with lots of fine lines to cross to stay out of trouble and in business. I sure hope this changes by the end of the year. I am already partially retired but the way the past year has gone...

Who's this stupid hmmm character? We're wrestlers. Not basketball players. Keep your cry baby bs for the basketball games.

I want to know what you read in Hmmms comment. All he said was pay Dave to advertise for the tournament Mike is making a profit on. and Dave said it was all figured out. How does that make him a cry baby? And the division you're creating between basketball and wrestling? You seem to have some shit going on that is deep seeded and has nothing with what was posted.

MAYBE humm SHOULD WORRY ABOUT HIS OWN LITTLE WORTHLESS WORLD AND LET DAVE HANDLE HIS BUSNESS. NOTHING WORSE THAN A TATTLE TALE, MUST BE A biden COMMY. I wonder if hummm has ever gotten any or does he still live in mommies basement.

Settle down everyone, especially Wtf crybaby

Posted by Dave G on 1/10/2021, 1:56 pm, in reply to "Re: He already has.."

I appreciate that Hmm has my back when it comes to the message board. It shows he has morals. How did you read anything crybaby into that? WTF?

If more people would question or call out bad behavior in the world it would be a better place. If someone is doing something against the rules in society then it is not being a "crybaby" to say something about it. It doesn't matter if YOU don't like a rule. A rule is a rule.

Rant over.

Has there been any talk of getting something like this going on the west side?

Also, if there is no season this year (doubt there will be) what would it take to organize an unofficial HS season? Set up duels between teams in a league and have a league tournament at the end.

Yes, we are in the works of figuring something like this out but over here. We are also looking to keep the tournament a west side event only. Meaning nobody from the East side of the mountains will be allowed. The thought of our wrestlers not winning a single medal has us panic stricken

I also run highschool tournaments here on the east coast. I can see why you wouldn't want our wrestlers on your side of the cascade. That being said, you west siders are invited to come participate, we need good meat to beat up on 😉

All nonsense aside.

I'm contemplating renting out a warehouse and doing a real state tournament. Who'd come to Spokane to wrestle?

You had me at good meat to beat.

I doubt public schools will get involved (outside of Wesco and private schools like Kennedy), but if you reach out to Takedown, Victory, NWWC, and Ford Dynasty, I's sure they can bring a lot of HS wrestlers (both boys and girls) as I've seen many of their kids at out of state tournaments. They might even be able to put together Dual teams for a separate duals state tournament.

Any other clubs/teams come to mind for Coach Mike to contact?

Re: Underground wrestling tournament

Posted by Re coach Mike on 1/8/2021, 3:14 pm, in reply to "Re: Underground wrestling tournament "

Best idea I've heard yet. It would a real shame to let politics spoil a whole season or even two of wrestling for the kids. A state tournament like that has the potential to be the toughest state tournament we've seen in a long time. I know it would take a lot of money and time to put it together but if a time and place could be agreed upon I'm sure parents and coaches could pitch in enough to make it happen. Has to include both east and west to be real. Forget about the east, west civil war. It's for the kids. I'm not a parent or coach but I would personally throw in a 100 bucks if you could make it happen.

But I'm afraid of covid? Wait, that means I have to stay home... It's just not fair " boo-hoo"

Why are people going underground to wrestle? That’s so weird I don’t get it. Like are you talking about a bomb shelter and putting mats in it? Is there power?

Re: Underground wrestling tournament

Posted by Dad/Coach on 1/10/2021, 9:14 pm, in reply to "Re: Underground wrestling tournament "

We have had some good high school events. Mead, Mt. Spo, Cheney, Flathead Mt, Moses Lake, Othello, White River, Lake Steven’s, Selah, Shadle Park, Tonasket and many more teams have been going. If you are a coach or parent and hear of one of these events...it’s well worth your time.

Our tournament this weekend is shaping up to be another hit. Many people signup at the door, although to help move things along, preregister your kids name,age and weight with me. Pay at the door. Spokanewrestling@gmail.com

Regardless who currently says they will attend...EVERYONE will attend.

If you build it they will come.

Re: Underground wrestling tournament

Posted by rainman99 on 1/11/2021, 3:46 pm, in reply to "Re: Underground wrestling tournament "

Another idea would be to partner with Idaho or Montana and ask to piggyback our tournament on top of theirs.

They can keep the proceeds, just allow us to participate.

Mat Side Gambling

Posted by Conservative Dad on 1/11/2021, 10:59 am, in reply to "Underground wrestling tournament "

You should have matside gambling. It really would make it very interesting!

Re: Underground wrestling tournament

Posted by Coach Mike on 1/13/2021, 12:02 am, in reply to "Underground wrestling tournament "

The tournament was a huge success. We had about 85 people come through the spot. Everyone got around 13 matches. All about that mattime.

We will be doing another one Sunday the 31st. Same times, same place.

Reach out if you want in. Better yet, come.to the Sprague camp on the 30th and make it a weekend of wrestling

Just to be clear . . . this isn't for 18U, right?

Re: Underground wrestling tournament

Posted by Coach Mike on 1/14/2021, 1:32 pm, in reply to "Re: Underground wrestling tournament "

This is for 14u and under. However there is an 18u highschool camp happening... just depends if you're a snitch or not

Sounds like you're upset about something. Need a slightly used tissue to cry into?
