Good wrestling showcase. 8 mats, 14 NCAA teams plus a few local PSAL high school matches.
I would recommend this event to be a recurring event each December. Wrestling, and especially college wrestling, is the pinnacle of the sport for most of us, so seeing such a great collection of wrestlers from some of the best teams in the nation is unbelievable! I look forward to going to this on an annual basis!
event was perfect looking forward to the next one.. although prices for seats some what pricey.. but the price for food and drink was way expensive for family to attend example water $5.00 wanted to give to my son the wrestler...
Great venue, some excellent wrestling... but poor program (no indication of ranked wrestlers, key match-ups to watch), and the announcers were not announcing what was going on. (When they did, they sometimes got it wrong!) They did not draw the crowd's attention to falls, close matches, and they seldom said who was wrestling where. The one guy kept interviewing WWE and MMA wrestlers - which is not what true NCAA or Freestyle fans want to see. The constant techno music beat was annoying. Also, they needed to have bout numbers or some other indicator of which wrestlers were actually on the mat at any given time. The crowd was dead and disengaged, and I blame the announcers and the annoying interviews.
Outstanding should have more. Events like this college wrestling should have NCAA tour men in MSG
I've been a grappling/wrestling fan for a 15 years and it was great to have my favorite sport held in mecca of all sporting arena. I really hope this become annual event @ MSG. Really hope NCAA Championship come to MSG sometime soon.
The wrestling was excellent. The high school events deserved their own time. The Knick dancers and the fog machine/fireworks were unnecessary. The announcing of the individual matches was inconsistent. But the wrestling was great.
Good format, not overly long and drawn out. Great to see wrestling in NYC.
Well run event with lots of great matchups. A must see for true wrestling fans.
It should be a yearly event. Everyone in the Garden seemed to enjoy the competition.
