From Tulsa Nationals To Wrestling Stardom

Every year thousands of the nation's best wrestlers descend upon Tulsa, Oklahoma, looking for a Roller World of Wrestling Tulsa Nationals title. 

Countless young scrappers went on from Tulsa success to become the stars of today. If you look through the results, you can find the names of anyone from today’s blue-chip recruits to world and Olympic champions. 

Take a look at the list of names I found by going back in the archives, and maybe even take a look in the results yourself and see if you can find some notable names I missed. I guarantee you’ll find some pretty cool matchups.
