Good News/Bad News ?

2012 NWCA All-Star Classic sells out in advance for first time since 2001
WASHINGTON D.C. – The 2012 NWCA All-Star Classic presented
by the United States Marine Corps will be held in front of a sold-out crowd of
over 3,000 spectators at Bender Arena on the campus of American University in
Washington, D.C.   This marks the first time the event has had an advance
sell out since 2001 when the event was held on the campus of Franklin &
Marshall University in Lancaster, PA.  The D.C. Athletic Club (DCAC) and
the Greater Washington Wrestling Business Network (GWWBN) announced no more
tickets, outside of corporate sponsorship tickets, are left for the event.  While this year’s complete line up as not been officially
released, the event is quickly shaping up to have one of the best fields in the past 15 years.  Fans will be treated to what is called the match up of the year when Kyle Dake of Cornell and David Taylor of Penn State compete for the All-Star Classic title at 165 pounds.
Both wrestlers were undefeated in the 2011-2012 season and claimed the NCAA Championship title in their respective weight classes. For Dake, he will look to win his fourth NCAA championship and dethrone Taylor at 165 pounds after competing collegiately at 157 pounds last season.  Rest of the story at http://themat.com/section.php?section_id=3&page=showarticle&ArticleID=25615
Editor’s Note:;  Good News is that it is sold out!  Bad News is that I don’t have a ticket!  Wanted to attend for first time since I ventured north on a cold Sunday night to see the meet with a fellow veteran wrestling fan, Patrick Garrett Scurry.
