Congrats... You're Almost A Man Again

A Few Words

Welcome to your new life as a rough and tough warrior who does what needs done to have his hand raised high in victory...your kids adore you, your parents have never been so proud, your wife now remembers why she married you...and your neighbors want to be you. You still have it...you are a savage beast who can not be stopped. You are a wrestler once again.

The Bald and Fat Classic is not just a “wrestling tournament”, it’s a way of life. Simply put, it’s a chance for you to better yourself and better your community. The B&FC is a National tournament for guys like us who just want to get back on the mat after a long time off. It’s for guys who love the sport of wrestling and everything it teaches. It gets us off the couch and reminds us of the sights, sounds and smells from our past. Most of all it’s a fundraiser for youth wrestling designed specifically to be a fun and rewarding day of friendly competition for the whole wrestling community to participate in.

This competition is fun and competitive with 5 different divisions to choose from and the chance to participate in a team wrestling competition with your high school crew for the first time since you lost in the consi semi-finals at Districts back in 79’ ...or was it 87’...or maybe 99’. The tournament is run by the host school, officiated by the host schools most experienced Varsity wrestlers and most importantly the host school will raise much needed funds for their program in this day and age when all schools are cutting back spending on all sports, especially the greatest sport of all time.

For more details on tournament rules/regulations, tournament locations, how to host a tournament or simply just to get a nice dose of everything that’s cool about wrestling, check out the rest of the site! Hopefully I will see you on the mat this season, unless of course you’re ok with showing us all that you have no heart, determination or wrestling skills...I’m sure your wife and kids won’t be ashamed of you for being a sally. Really, its ok. Don’t sweat it...there’s always bowling, golf and tennis. Those guys look tough sometimes too.

Get training gentlemen...the sooner the better, and do us all a favor and stretch out first, nothing worse than pulling a muscle 3 weeks before the big day.

Seriously, Thanks to you and everyone that helped. Everything went really well both days and I personally had a great time wrestling and reconnecting with some old friends I have not seen in years.

Once again, great job with the tournament. Talking with the few guys we had there we would definitely be in for some sort of "social" afterwards. I know there were a bunch of us from the LL League that went to Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards. We all had a blast and so did our families!
