Sportsfan02 - 1st comment, wth are you talking about, be more specific regarding comments regarding improvement of tournaments.
"One thing that has come up, a lot lately, is bashing of clubs that put on tournaments. I have been reviewing those posts and some, as the one mentioned on this thread have been removed. I also keep a record of IP Addresses regarding posts that are inappropriate. As moderator, I will not allow those types of posts when the intent is obvious to do harm to a club. These clubs are putting on tournaments and giving the kids an opportunity to wrestle, anything that could be perceived as being detrimental to a tournament will not be tolerated. That does not mean we can’t be critical of certain components of a tournament, we all welcome constructive criticism in that the intent is to make better, not tear down and destroy."
Regarding promotion of USA events, you are simply wrong here. USAOK does it at the Roller Tournaments in Oklahoma, and they, USA,not USAOK, do it in Reno, for those of us who have been there over recent years we have seen it.
What promotions, and please be specific?
Regarding the Coliseaum staff, YES. I have found them to at times be rude, and inconsiderate.
Afraid I'm going to need examples of this one too. Again, please be specific. I don't know how anyone has contact with the Coliseum staff unless you are doing something improper. In all of my years there I have not had any contact with them other than going in and out of the door.
Don't assume that everyone has made up their complaints regarding this organization.
I try not to assume anything, including the accuracy of things I read on a message board.
Also don't make too many assumptions regarding experiences, for your information I used to promote events, concerts and the like in the area. I worked with many organizations over the years including WSU, the Cotillion, Century 2, The Bicentenial Center, and others. During that time, as a promoter, I found the establishment at the Coliseum very difficult to work with, and thus refused to work with them. As a volunteer at HS State in the past I have also seen this same attitude. As to the other locations where I promoted concerts, I found them much different.
All of your vast life experiences never cease to amaze me!
I could say more to you but believe that would be a waste of time, especially to the man who told me to move back to Oklahoma when I first moved here.
I admit, I was wrong! Looking back now, I find you were much more genuine then, when you were pimping everything to do with Oklahoma wrestling and bashing everything about Kansas wrestling.
