Under the terms of the agreement STO will air Takedown Wrestling Media programming to promote and grow the sport of wrestling.

The distribution agreement between Takedown Wrestling Media and Sports Time Ohio is both important and strategic.

College and International styles alike will benefit from the wide and growing distribution of STO," said Scott Casber, Founder of Takedown Wrestling Media.

Casber's views were mirrored by Sports Time Ohio’s Vice President of Program Acquisition, Pat Kilkenny, who said, "We believe that the time is right to expand our wrestling news coverage.

Wrestling To be Cut from the Olympics? Call to Action


Dear friends of wrestling,

This horrible news for our sport broke last night and today.

The Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (through a secret balloting process) has moved wrestling from the list of 26 sports that will be in the 2020 Olympics onto a list of 7 sports of which one will be added to the 2020 Olympics.

The Executive Committee will vote for one on this list in May and then pass those recommendations on to the General Body of the IOC for a vote of approval in September in St. Petersburg.

The 7 sports are:

Baseball/Softball
Karate
Wakeboarding
Squash
Roller Sports
Wushu
Wrestling

This is a very scary and very real threat to our sport.

But the fight is not over and wrestlers never quit. USA Wrestling is on top of this and will be sending out more info soon on TheMat.com. Efforts will be organized with other countries to keep our sport in the Olympics. We need your help.

Pass this information on to every wrestler, coach and fan you know!
