Interesting article. I can see both sides on this but I sure would like to see this documentary.

I’m not sure about this exact bill but if this is a catalyst that pushes them harder to properly archive and release the massive amount of wrestling context they have in their archives then it’s a win for all of us. It’s damn near criminal that the State of Iowa does not make it available.

I called my representative in support of Gibby getting this done.

There are some inaccuracies in the article, but Gibby is trying to do a good thing here for the sport, I encourage everyone to call their representative to get this done.

I do think that there must be a fair way to open the College Wrestling Content while protecting so of the High School stuff.

This is just like any other open records request from the state. IPTV is sitting on a goldmine of memories and is clueless about how to utilize them.

At least my representative gets it and is voting to get this through.

Call Des Moines and make it happen wrestling fans.
