We're right on the precipice of wrestling's single most important event: the Olympics. But while we wait for the Games in Tokyo next year, another event has caught our eye: the Spyder Invitational.

Our brother site FloGrappling streamed the two weight class Brazilian jiu-jitsu mega tournament in South Korea last night. With the winner of each bracket getting a $100,000 grand prize, it attracted the best and brightest in BJJ. That got us wondering: could it work in wrestling?

The first question is, what would the weight classes be? These are probably negotiable, as it would be a one-off wrestling extravaganza for a substantial amount of money. It would seem the best weights to do this at would be somewhere around 65 and/or 70kg, and then between 92 and 97kg.

What would those brackets look like? Let's start with the 65-ish field.

Amazing. The last two world champions in Rashidov (RUS) and Otoguro (JPN) are on opposite sides of the bracket, with Bajrang (IND) on the same side as Rashidov. The best wrestler to never wrestle in worlds Bekbulatov (UZB) and Euro Games champ Haji Aliyev (AZE) is a dream first round matchup.

Now to the 97-ish bracket.

This one combines quite a few weight classes, and you wonder how small the 97kg guys can get. There's a real possibility the United States has three in the semis, with world champs Kyle Snyder, J'den Cox, and David Taylor all separated. You've got two Rio gold medalists in Snyder and Yazdani (IRI) first round, and Sharifov (AZE) is 2-0 against Cox. This year's U23 champ at 92kg in Bo Nickal has Sadulaev (RUS) straight away, and of course we're assuming David Taylor is at full health.

Ideally you'd have to do this event the year after the Olympics, when people are most likely to take a year off and skip the world championships, or in December/January before the Olympics and it's far enough away from the Olympic qualifiers. You'd do this on one mat with matches running continuously, though you'd have a few minutes in between each one.

You'd also need a purse similar to the 100k one being offered by Spyder. An American wins 50k for a world title and 250k for an Olympic gold via the Living the Dream Medal Fund, so the event should be worth at least two world titles.

Alternatively, there is a six-man round robin possibility. In this scenario, there are three mats being used, and all the athletes get five matches. There is a half hour between every round, and the winner is determined first by best record, and second by classification points to encourage dominance and point scoring, as well as pins.

The two main hurdles are the expense, and the justification of it for the organization running it. The second is the timing in relation to the world championships and Olympic Games, with respect to a wrestler's reluctance to compete at anything that may throw off their trajectory toward being called the best in the world.
