Talking about mas wrestling making its debut at the Arnold, Odd Haugen told IronMind, “We have full 8-man Absolute A-B Tournament with elimination after two losses with some very big boys.”


Powered by dotFit, mas wrestling is headed to the Midwest: Mark Felix (left) and Clay Edgin (right) are among the big boys who will plant their feet, grab the still and try to pull the other other guy over the centerboard or rip the stick out of his hands.  IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo
