RAF agrees to acquire major youth wrestling organization
Real American Freestyle has agreed to acquire World of Wrestling, the family-run operator of the Tulsa Nationals, Reno Worlds and Kickoff Classic, expanding the professional freestyle league into established youth tournaments. The three events draw more than 8,000 entries annually, and Tulsa Nationals alumni include Olympic champions Kyle Snyder and Gable Steveson. RAF says it intends to preserve the tournaments’ traditions while investing in opportunities for young wrestlers, with Shane Roller and his family remaining involved. The agreement’s financial terms and closing details have not been disclosed; the existing tournament schedule is expected to continue, with further plans to be announced.
