“Mock MATNESS” Deep Dive: 184 lbs.
The 184 lbs. weight class lost a few superstars last year. However, one of its finalists remains. Can anyone knock off the undefeated, Blue Collar, towel-tapping #1 seed? We shall see.
Brackets, Brackets, Brackets!
Brackets have always been an integral part to the wrestling fan’s experience. We here at Wrestle MATNESS, which is built by wrestlers have been competing against each other for decades.
Wrestling in the Future: Balancing Tradition with Modern Innovation
Wrestling is often hailed as the "oldest" of all sports, rooted in its raw simplicity
Jake Herbert , US Olympian
“I participated last year and it was a blast! The Wrestle MATNESS competitions are just what wrestling needs to grow our great sport. I can't wait to do it again this March!”
