The 2016 Journeymen Fall Classic takes place this weekend on the campus of Union College in Schenectady, NY. The two day event features the OverFlo tournament on Saturday followed by the main event, The Classic, on Sunday. The Classic has quickly become one of the premier preseason wrestling events in the nation showcasing nationally ranked wrestlers from New York to California! The OverFlo serves as a qualifying event for the Classic.
