Tournament Coverage

Hey Pa Fan, PA wouldn't let Flo cover the states.. So don't blame them anymore!! You sound stupid!!!

Before Fargo every year, teams take part in what is usually a 1 week long training camp. These camps are usually run by the best coach's in the state, and each team showcases the best wrestlers in each state. I'm not sure how many other states have a training camp, but I know PA and CA do....

I'd like to see Flow go behind the scenes at some of these intense camps to see how some of the more successfull states prepare mentally and physically for this tourny (PA, CA, OH, NY, NJ, MN, etc).

Hey FLO... Quit hating on PA! PA is clearly the most talented state as far as high school wrestling is concerned, yet you cover KANSAS states instead?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Have Tom and Terry Brands wrestle/mixed martial arts each other live on Flo. Charge a fee to watch and donate to a charitable cause...

Jr. Nationals
Jr. Worlds

Randy Lewis May 16 . would be great to see Flow

I think you should do something on the iowa state tourney, just to show the excitement it brings and show some tradition. may not be the best wrestling state but it does have the best state tournament because of the crowds and excitement

GABLE!
CROSS!
SCHULTZ!
KARELIN!

our own nationals and the russian nationals.

NEW JERSEY STATE WRESTLING TOURNAMENT, CAUSE THATS WHEN THE LIONS COME OUT AND THE TIGERS GO TO SLEEP!

Pretty sure an exhibition match for charity is as nice as you can play!

I live in New Jersey and the Pennsylvania AAA State Finals were on tv live this year.

I'd like to see Fargo Finals and Russia's High School Nationals.

california cadet state

Pa state tournament (AAA)
Fargo Finals and possibly semi's
Russian High school Nationals
Russian Collegiate Nationals
Midlands
Interviews: All answering the same questions. Outlook on wrestling. What they believe are the most important aspects of wrestling (defense?, mentality?, position?, etc...). If they had it to do all over again, but with the knowledge they have now....where would they start out and how would they go about becoming the best wrestler they could be.
Gable
Satiev
Batirov

June 30-31

Greco Junior World Duals Concord CA June 30-3.

McCallie Invitational in Chattanooga and Kyle Maynard Duals at Collins Hill, Ga. Two incredible tournaments with tons of great wrestling.

I would love to see some Iranian training, practices, and philosophy. Their people are some of the most passionate in the world, and a much smaller size than russia. I know it would be tough to get there in the climate we live, but damn it would be cool.

Yarygin, Russian National Team practices and find out what types of things these coaches study to earn their coaching degrees in wrestling. I'd say to go down Dagestan/Chechnya way, but that might lead to some kidnapping/beheading action by Chechen rebels and that wouldn't be cool at all.

Also, why don't you guys go and cover Iran's wrestling league? Find out how/when it was founded, what makes it successful, who backs it and the type of coverage it receives.

How about the Hillside Middle School Takedown Tournament in Seven Bumps, Ohio.

Either Russian Natls or Worlds

if we can, it would be awsome to watch some european tours like; Takhti Cup, Dan Kolov International, Alexander Medved International, Ivan Yarygin...the best in the world compete in these tournaments.

I would like to see russian nationals again. It was great to see what the best guys in the world were doing at the highest level.

Anything Wrestling. And don't forget NCAA DII, and DIII, JUCO, NAIA, and international stuff. Tell people how to get to that level. Interview the processes. Difficult for some to find out about the process and then it is to late.

Also off season tournaments for kids and for college level.

the olympics. john smith dan gable or the brands brothers

I would like to see more World level freestyle and greco matches. Also would like to see whats happening at the OTC as US wrestlers train. I think flo should also spend some time with Shon Lewis and the All-Army Greco team.

I agree with this interview: Larry Owings
Russian HS level tournament practice
War at the Shore

YES

Pa state tournament (AAA)
Disney Duals
War at the Shore

Philosophy and perspective:
--Interviews of Successful Coaches at the High School, University/College, and World Level of their philosophy. Let them preach, we want to hear. Two Examples come to mind, there is a long clip of John Smith talking to the Cowboys about jumping levels, we get to see what it is like to be coached by him. Also, there is a clip of Kevin Jackson talking to the world team before the tournament, I think it was in Baku, but once again, we get to feel what it is like to be coached by World Class Athletes...Awesome

Also, the CA High School State Tournament, There is nothing like it!
International:
Pan Am's
Tahiti(sp) Cup
Russian National Champioships
Continue working with USA wrestling, like Martin said, we got to open up!

Tbilisi and/or NCAA's

nhsca east coast national duals

Hands down...... Tiblisi....Caucases baby!

Tiblisi, Medved Cup in Minsk, Iranian Nationals,Takhti cup, Asian Championship....That gig in Russia you cats pulled off last year I would dig doing that.

Watch the Belorussian Team train at the Stayki (their OTC) in Minsk with fellow buddy and head Olympic coach Sergei Kitaev.

Interviews..Medved, Karelin,ahh scratch Karelin...the questions I would ask would probably get me hurt....

Jr Club Duals at Delaware Valley next weekend and National Duals in Salisbury

Id say Disney Duals and any Nationals such as HS, NCAA Division I or II.

Give us all the matches from the World Championships. Interviews with all of the best wrestlers and coaches.

South Carolina state tournament
interview SC wrestlers such as:
Segia Borja, if i spelled it write, Jordan Wigger, , Seth Beck, Weston Beck, Micheal Young, Eily Ashby, Aaron Hanson, Alex Morales, and the whole Eastside team

Disney Duals

1) John Smith Tbilisi
2) Pennsylvania State Tournament
3) Interviews with Art Martori, Sergei, and Melvin Douglas

hey joe are you gonna take any of these ideas into consideration? if so which ones? and i also think you might wanna cover some off season college stuff

WAR AT THE SHORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there were a buncha guys who placed at nationals even at senior nationals and didnt place at the war at the shore, i no one person in peticular who went 0-2 and was a state champ

any college tournament finals match with Jordan Oliver

i would like to see the ncaa division one matches and the enter view i would like to hear is troy nickerson, and darrion caldwell

if flow could video tape the ncaa divison ones matches the interviews are good but i would love to see the matches.

I would want to see an interview from both of the saitiev's. Also get some matches of Mavlet Baitrov and interview him cause that guy is the real deal!

Zeb Miller VS Craig Sesker for charity, he gets to choose the venue!

In countries like Iran, Turkey and Russia, our sport's treated really well in some ways. Alex Karelin went on to become an elected official at the national level in Russia, for example. And fan support is considerable, too. How about some coverage of a showdown that's considered a source of international pride over there, like maybe Turkey vs. Iran? Or Russia vs. Belarus, etc.?

Interview Brandon Slay! The dude who beat Saitiev! Who cares about the Russians!

Russian nats, simply
intrvews from : ketoev, gatsalov, makhov,

There is no Tournament like the NCAA tour its the greatest sporting event in the nation.Usually having upsets to making it exciting and a great rematch would be Ben Askren and Jake Herbert I think Jake Herbert is at the top of his game right now not like when they met before not to take anything away from ben.

MAvlet BAtirov... need an interview of him fosho.

Tiblisi, 1979-1980. Dave Schultz all the way! Nowadays, Russian Nationals. That stuff you recorded over there about a year or two ago was tight!

Tournament: NCAAs/olympics/world championships

Wrestler: Saitiev
Interview: Batirov (lighter one) and Saitiev (again)

more college dual meets? normally you guys seem to just tape the really good dual meet matches ya no like owa oklahoma ohio ect. i think you shoould maybe cover more of the other dual meets that go on. more college practices. i think those are the coolest things, maybe interview the teams lifting coach and see what his prespective is on lifting

I know that there are rules with USA wrestling and that you guys can't do much with the US nationals and world team trials so I would like to watch more matches along with universtiy championship matches oh yeah Russians freestyle,folkstyle and Greco would be perfect and other countries as well like Iran, Cuba and former Russian lands but there are once again rules and regulations so what ever you guys can do would be greatly appreciated and keep up the good work

What interview I want to see ? and have yet to see ever....is an live vid interview with Larry Owings. I heard he works for a school district in Washington State. Go up there and get the interview. His story is one I would like to hear....The Greatest Upset in the History of Coligiate Wrestling......and the man who pulled it off.

Girls Wrestling... Lots more Girls wrestling

BATAROV

I would like to see Matches and Interviews with Nikko Triggas, Zach Sanders, And Brent Metcalf.
And the Russain practices would be really nice to see too!

Russiiiiaaaans, plain and simple.

I'd love to see a series of insider Russian practices leading up to their national tournament. I know you guys went last year and for me that was your best work to date.

I'd like coverage of the
-world team trials
-world championships.
Interviews of Russian wrestlers and coaches.
Plus I would like to see more coverage of practices from freestyle practices

i would like to hear about jordan oliver because he is simply the man

MAVLET BATIROVVVVVVVV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mavlet Batirov

The Russian equivalent to high school state/nationals.

I would love to see a good coverage of the U.S. Olympic Trials. Man that would be great. Oh yeah, I am looking forward to watching the US Open on May 16th, it will be exciting a month and a half after it was done. I am sure they will also cut the matches down, who wants to watch a whole match anyways.
