With holiday tournaments behind us, and the Eastern States Classic only two weeks away, what better time than now to release the first edition of the NYS Individual Rankings. Like last year, D1 and D2 will be combined.
Please keep in mind that these rankings are only the opinions of a few people who collaborated on this project. They are meant to be fun and to create conversation. The mission of this and other wrestling websites is rather simple…we love the sport and we are trying to promote it in a positive manner. Please keep this in mind when critiquing these rankings. Without further ado, here are the rankings. Enjoy!
Special thanks to Betsy Veysman from www.newyorkwrestlingnews.com for all of her help!!!
