Do the parents or the kids wrestle? The parade/finals are for the kids. It is more than just the parade and having your name announced. It was an accomplishment for the wrestler to be in the finals at the Classic.
Sure many brackets were completed early yesterday, some weren't. Regardless of where the classic has been held, wrestlers still come year after year. I believe the draw was the level of competition and the finals. It certainly wasn't the aroma that brought everyone back year after year.
Have people complained about the parade/finals in the past? (I don't know, I am sure they have.) I think what the original post was implying was how eliminating the whole parade/finals process was handled.
