Yesterday’s inaugural Gotham City Wrestling Classic went better than we could have hoped, and we think you’d agree.
Everyone wrestled more than 2 matches, no real injuries; and, how about that 168 lbs final?
We’re consistently amazed by the strength and diversity of the #NYCwrestling community!
Let’s take a moment to thank Beat the Streets for supporting and generously allowing us to use their space to bring everybody together in support and appreciation of wrestling in the City of NY.
We’d also like to thank the competitors who came from as far as Michigan and New Hampshire to do battle. It takes a special breed to lace up those shoes and step on the mat and challenge yourself in 1 on 1 combat.
The Classic would never have run as smoothly as it did without help from NYU and BTS wrestlers and the NYU manager Julia. Thank you all for giving up your free Saturday to run the matches and make sure we were well fed and taken care of.
Let’s not forget about NYU’s trainer (also) Julia, who made sure we were all safe and cared for our minor injuries with professionalism, expertise and compassion.
Finally, thanks to you. The fans. The ones who packed our little arena to support your friends and family. The ones who cheered and yelled and made the whole experience worthwhile. You are the heart of Gotham City Wrestling.
Bear Hugs,
Mike and Gene
