Wrestling Blogs - Joe Williamson

Well, the first two days of Russian Nationals are complete. I am exhausted. It is hard to sleep because it is light 24 hours a day right now. Three weight classes will compete tomorrow. The setup is interesting. On the first and second days, two weight classes wrestle all the way through on the third day the last three weight classes compete. The more a wrestler wins, the quicker the matches come. It looks tiring. I have gotten about thirty matches a day, but the internet is slow here and it takes time to get anything up, I cant wait until you guys get to see these matches.

I got a great view for the finals, but during the tournament, I have been in the regular seats. This makes it tough. The fans go crazy. There have been several fights and for this reason, I decided to just stay quiet while I film. Many people at the tournament drink beer all day, or at least it smells that way. In my mind, this contributes to the fighting. So far, the finals matches have been great, I recommend checking out 60 kilos and 74 kilos. There are giant celebrations and concerts before and after the finals too. People here love their wrestling and favorite wrestlers, and they let other fans know about it. Well I feel like I am just rambling now. I will write more soon and get more matches up ASAP.
