For the first time since March I'll be going to an event, in person, to watch live wrestling happen right in front of my eyes. It's a high school dual tournament in Hammond, Indiana, featuring some of the best prospects in the nation.
Watch King of the Ring Duals LIVE on Flo
July 8-12 | Hammond, IN | 9 AM Eastern
As I was getting contacted by several fathers pitching me to come watch this event, which is called King of the Ring Duals and is being put on by the Elite Athletic Club, I knew it was one I had to attend. They inspired me to do something we do often for things of this caliber, to put out a list of the hammers who will be in attendance.
The duals actually start Wednesday the 8th and run through Sunday the 12th, featuring six age levels (7U, 9U, 10U, 12U, 15U, and high school), not to mention the girls division on Sunday that spans K-12 grade levels. I'll be there on Friday, when the entire high school portion goes down.
Right at the top, headliners include Jesse Mendez, Joey Cruz, and Gabe Arnold. Mendez was a Cadet world teamer who wrestled in Who's #1 and has won two state titles in single class Indiana. Cruz is a FloNationals champ that finished last season ranked second at 113 pounds. Arnold was a National Prep champ that is currently our #2 prospect on the 2023 Big Board.

Mendoza recently signed on to go to Wyoming Seminary for his eighth-grade year and, presumably, all of high school as well.
Also in attendance will be Fargo champ Braeden Davis, Cal Baptist commit Eli Griffin, Minnesota recruit Tagen Jamison, 2021 Big Boarder Vinny Zerban, New Jersey heavyweight champ (as a freshman!) Jim Mullen and more.
