I have recently been approached, by the Arnold Classic people, to see if I would be interested in running a wrestling event during the Arnold Classic. I did attend the Arnold Classic Sports Meeting, on December 1, but the only commitment I have yet made, is that I would have a one on one meeting with Jim Lorimar, who heads the overall Classic, sometime next week.
Obviously, we all know that the event is held the same weekend as the State High School Tournament. There is no way that I want any wrestling portion to conflict with this event, meaning any wrestling at the Arnold Classic would have to occur on Sunday, March 6.
What I did want to get was everyone's feeling on wrestling at this event. I know that past events there have not gone well and I want to hear what folks did or did not like. That way, I can make a honest assessment as to whether wrestling can financially survive at this event.
Please e-mail me suggestions you may have, what entry fee you would be willing to pay (the Arnold Classic gets all gate admission), age groups, should kids have to qualify, should it be open up to non Ohio wrestlers (and if you lived out of state, would you be willing to travel in to Ohio for a Sunday only event), etc... You can e-mail me at bart@ohiotofc.com
