The same post three times. Nice work. 

[Wrestling Arena]

Sorry for posting 3 times..I am new and had problems getting started 

[Wrestling Arena]

I believe that I have the largest collection 

[Wrestling Arena]

I have the 1936-2022 NCAAs and the 1960-2021 Olympics 

[Wrestling Arena]

And the 2000-2022 Russian Nationals and Ivan Yarygin tournaments 

[Wrestleknownothing]

That is an impressively large library. In what format(s)?

[Crotalus]

Humblebrag much?

 

(Sounds like a pretty great collection though)

You have my attention

[Plasmodium]

What is your YouTube channel?  Love to see some of those.

[Wrestling Arena]

My YouTube channel is Wrestling Arena..I have the 1930s to 1950s NCAAs..I plan to upload many others(sorry for any delay)…I also uploaded the Darryl Burley vs Mike Land 1979 NCAA finals.. Mike Land had an 84 match win streak and was the 2x defending national champion and lost to true freshman Darryl Burley…. I have collected all these since 1999…I found most of them from contacts on the message boards..I thought the people on the message boards should also see them

[Wrestling Arena]

I will start uploading as many videos as I can over the next few years 

[Wrestling Arena]

I converted all the old vhs tapes to dvd then digitized them all onto a 4 terabyte external hard drive 

[Dark Energy]

Wow.  Very very cool

Many years ago, I remember that match, I was there at Oregon State in Corvallis OR.  I remember they announced that Burley was a true freshman and I thought it was pretty cool that he won.   I also remember the Oregon St. Hwt Howard Harris who pinned his way through the tourney.  I was about a junior in HS and my Dad took me with his buddy and his buddy's son.

[Wrestling Arena]

I can’t remember any Greco..I just have College and Men’s Freestyle videos 

[Wrestling Arena]

I even have a brief video clip of the 1924 Olympics wrestling that I downloaded from YouTube(seriously)..I am always looking for videos…Hopefully others have older videos also
