Did Spencer make the trip? I know he's mentioned in the article but Perry is only showing Clark in the videos. Did they not travel together?
 
I don't have any direct answer, but will offer an educated guess.

There has been a lot of things happen in the last week or so...Coach Duroe, Eli Stickley ( Moriahs twin brother) etc. My guess is that some things are more important then a wrestling tournament in Spain right now.

Cory needed some international matches and competition. That is the next phase of his career.

We all want to see Spencer wrestle. I myself am eager to see him test himself against ANY competition,but I also understand that there are often different reasons on why at times we don't see them when we expect to.
