Follow this link to check out photos from Montini vs Proviso East. I should have more photos from Montini vs St Rita and Providence later today.

Here are the photos from Montini vs Providence

This is where the photos of Montini vs St Rita will be...

The photos are a little out of order, I am using some different software than I normally use. I think I have it figured out for the St. Rita and Montini dual...I am still searching for that perfect editing and website gallery software...still have not found one that I like everything about...

Cliff Keen Tornado Update

It appears the wait for Tornados is about over, but we'll see how long they are available. Two out of the last three years CK has come up short on Tornados during the season...I think they thought the Twister would take over but at least at our store the Tornado is still the king of the head gear market.

We have been told the inventory we ordered in May for Nov and Dec delivery should be in our store in the next couple days. When this happens the website will be up to date with what is in stock and what is out of stock. If it were me, we are advising people place their orders now and get in line for the Tornados.

In early December we received a siginificant amount of youth and adult tornados and teams were buying them up 15 to 20 at a time and they did not last too long...

Go See Rocky!

As a dad and a fan of Rocky, I'd say go see this movie...I will be curious to see what the numbers are this weekend...

All I know is that we had to race to another theatre to see the moive. Luckily the second theatre was much bigger and did not sell out...

Even my wife said it was better then she expected!

Shipping Prices at WrestlingGear.Com

Recently we have had more questions about our shipping prices. Our prices are integrated with UPS and are based on the weights and zip code we are shipping to. Keep in mind a 1 lb $20 item costs almost the same amount as a 3 lb $130 item that we ship. We don't feel its fair to customers that are spending more money to charge them more in shipping if in fact it costs us almost the same to ship to them. We have seen $200 to $300 orders come in around at $10 to $12 shipping if they are light items.

Our competitors often charge based on how much money you spend so a person that spend $20 may be charged $7 for shipping but a $130 item might be charged $15 for shipping because they are spending more money. We charge based on how much it costs to send you your items. If it costs us $10, you pay $10.

Obviously, our shipping methods are understood and our customers reward us by telling their friends and shopping with us each year...otherwise we would not has seen this type of growth we have experienced year in and year out...

Thanks for stopping by our blog, we look forward to working with you and helping you "Get Ready for the Mat!"
