This should be a great event. I see this turning into Wisconsins premiere wrestling tournament...then to have it coupled with Argon 3. This could be a great boost for Wisconsin Wrestling. Thanks Ben, Max. and John for bringing us this event. Let's show them what Wisconsin wrestling is and sell this event out.

Team Poeta from Illinois just committed to bringing 25 wrestlers!

Hey actually what is going to happen is the two younger groups will wrestling in the morning, we will try to get them to the semis. The Agon event will happen form 1-2pm. After that the older kids will start and the younger groups will finish up and be able to go home. Where are you guys coming from??

Ben how do we get tickets? I want to bring my 2 and 7 year olds to watch the pro event, do they need admission? The main event starts at 1?

Hey guys as of right now we are getting tickets printed and I will put some info up about how to get them next week.

As for the registration we are getting lots of good kids. Had a state champ from NY sign up(One of Maxs old wrestlers) plus some tough IL kids. It is shaping up to be a great tourney.

visionquest · January 09, 2014, 12:11:09 PM

so will you have to purchase tickets ahead of time, or can you just get them at the door as well?

Yes here is a link to the AWA Winter Classic info sheet

Just confirmed one of my friends from Montana is bringing his 2 kids who are both state runner ups. This tourney is getting tough fast.

The Agon piece will start at 1pm and be done at roughly 2pm. If you didn't see Agon 2, the video was kind of rough, but the in house crowd really got an awesome show.

I did watch it. Video wasn't bad but linking to audio wasn't great. The place was packed and loud!
