the sooner we get this goin' the better. prefferably before i get out of shape so i can keep doing it without dying. and we all need to go and hang out again if we get the chance. that was fun last night.


Everyone needs an inspiration like Tyler. He fought harder than anyone ever has on a wrestling mat and it was for his life.

Was there mention of the trophy or did I miss it? Also I remember saying something to the effect at one point during the matchup between Gossett and Chenowith I was coaching Gossett and he was getting beaten and I said something of the effect of, "you can still win, it only took seconds for Taplin to beat him" (I was joking of course to get his guard off).

Great group of guys that were there! I think the best was getting the trophy and trying to lock Denis in the janitor's closet!

too bad the door didn't lock. oh and someone needs to burn that wig that gossett had. i seriously couldn't concentrate wrestling him from laughing too hard. that and every time i tried to tie up w/ him the wig would slip.

I say lets wait until everyone is fat and out of shape and then we go, it will be more fun. How does next week sound?

I'm all in! The wig, James, is now legendary and must be brought forth to each and every tag-team tournament. I have a feeling this is going to be big, just like the furious spread of dodgeball.

I'm in whenever you want to do it. I've found the new third member of our team. But you guys have to wait until the next match to find out who it is. I'll bring the big trophy to. We need to make a faceplate for it though. It can say something like the Inaugural Tag Team Champions. And I think all of us founding fathers of tag team wrestling need to take the tape up to Tyler.

Guys, I am currently working on an exhabition match and will have more details Monday evening. There will be a number of spectators there, but again, will have details as soon as Monday night, likely, Tuesday Morning. A lot of folks asking about the match tonight at Wichita Classic Weigh in's. Special thanks right away to Goddard and the Wichita Sports Commission for realizing the value of having something like this for Tyler there. Tyler shirts are starting to run low on sizes and for a $10 bid you get a shirt. There is a few to accomidate folks though, oh yea, had a $300 bid on the Gable poster at this point.

Chenowith over Gossett, Cole Kreutzer over Gossett, James (Watts) and Denis (Fairleigh) wrestled but I don't remember who won, and Chase Kreutzer beat Nathan Furches, as I recall. Denis is ready to do the deal again, the thing was just a great experience. The best part of the whole process is the way that the guys had a chance to get to know each other more as fellow wrestlers and less as opponents, I think it was just a really positive experience for everybody except the folks at Kens pizza! One thing that I think didn't get nearly enough play was the totally selfless effort put out by Mr. Akin-- We all had a great time, and a lot of the reason that we did was that Eric set the stage for a very positive night in the way that he encouraged all wrestlers that attended, no matter what their level of expertise. Denis got a little one on one time , and so did anyone else that sought it, and Mr. Akin's time was a lot cheaper than it should have been, he is really a fine asset to Ks. wrestling and I felt somewhat honored to have met him.

Actually score for the Nathan Furches / Chase Kreutzer match was 2-1 Furches. dont want to get the little guy mad Mike.

1st period no points

2nd period Kreutzer chooses bottom, escape, Furches gets take down, rides out period.

3rd period Furches chooses bottom, Kreutzer battles for tilt most of the third period but doesn't turn Furches, and Furches does not escape.

Obviously I watched this one more intently than others.

Guys, i seriosly cannot say enough about this whole event. There were so many just trully amasing aspects to it. for starters we are helping a kid in great need. I dont even know who tyler is but i can say that being stripped of the ability to wrestle from cancer is a terrible thing. and anything i can do to help support i will gladly do. tell me when you guys take the tape. i wanna be there. another great aspect is the thought of a post season. thru severial of these clinics/ challange matches we will all become better wrestlers. and of course the last aspect. THIS WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!!! i honestly have not had that good of a time in way to long. it was great to get to know curtis and james who i had previosly never met. it was also great to catch up with computerized shoes. a former resident of pratt and a very good freind of mine. and the tag team match was BOMB. The thought of a tag team tournoment has crossed my mind many times since that night. you could start it at like 2 in the afternoon and be done in a few hours. with all the interest we might even hafta have to weightclasses on two different mats. who knows? but i think its deffinitly in the cards. and being one of the "seasoned vets" i would love to participate. in fact you couldnt keep me from being there no matter how hard you tried. o ya id also like to thank buhler high school for donating the trophy.

p.s. Dazzling duo and my fellow members of of the triple threat, i cannot wait till we do this again!

I definitely can't wait until we get together to do this again. I think that we should do this some time as just a tournament, without a clinic. We can charge like 5 bucks for people to come watch and all the proceeds go to Tyler. Then the next day, or day before we can have the clinic. We just move into a new high school and our gym is gigantic, we can fit up to 4 mats from wall to wall. I'm gonna talk to some people and see if we might be able to do all this in our new gym. It'd be great to break in the new gym with a big wrestling event. We can hype it up as much as possible. Have it on a Saturday and Sunday sometime after the kids state tournament. I think this could be very lucrative.

Curtis, check on the dates and let them know what the money and all would be for. I think that after kids state is a great idea. There are still a couple of tournaments that I am involved in, Reno Worlds and Mid America Classic after Kids that some in Kansas will be going to but the majority of "kids" are done with their season. I'll do everything I can to help though and be the contact person to get everything set up.
