    Bob Seidel breaks down annual Beat The Streets Benefit & Final X

    The path to a senior world title is entirely black and white. There is no grey area on an elevated mat inside the Prudential Center—only a best-of-three series that ends with one athlete holding a plane ticket to the World Championships and another left behind in the wrestling room. For decades, the senior level was defined by a specific geography: farm boys from the grain elevators of the Midwest or private school hammers out of New England. On June 19, the sport shifts its entire weight to the concrete of the Tri-State area as Final X pairs elite freestyle with the infrastructure of the country’s largest grassroots wrestling network. NOTE: This was recorded prior to the annoucement that world medalists Real Woods and Kyle Welker have delayed their Final X series matches.    Host Jason Bryant sits down with Beat the Streets New York Executive Director Bob Seidel to dissect the structural evolution of an organization that has grown 300% over the last four years. These are not suburban athletes with parents chauffeuring them to private clubs; these are fiercely independent kids taking two-hour subway rides from the outer edges of Queens and Brooklyn just to get a hand-fight in the middle of Manhattan. Seidel details the extreme logistics of maintaining a permanent training center on the most expensive real estate in the country, and why the daily grind of mass transit translates directly into individual accountability on the mat. The conversation pivots to the relentless competitive stakes of the Newark card. The lightweight matchups represent a complete collision of eras and philosophies, headlined by the re-ignited rivalry at 57 kg between Olympic silver medalist Spencer Lee and reigning NCAA champion Luke Lilledahl—fresh off Lilledahl’s shocking last-second headlock victory at the U.S. Open. From the hyper-aggressive offense of youth phenoms Bo Bassett and Jax Forrest to the structural control of multi-time world champions Helen Maroulis and Kyle Dake, this card is an absolute grinder. With Columbia University officially establishing the first Ivy League Division I women’s program right in their backyard, this event marks the exact moment where the pipeline from the streets of New York to the global stage becomes undeniable.  Want an ad-free version of the show AND the best in wrestling news from around the world?

    The NCAA’s Ryan Tressel on Building the First NCAA Women’s Wrestling Championships

    The NCAA will crown its first women’s wrestling champions March 6–7, 2026 at Xtream Arena in Coralville, Iowa, marking a historic step for the sport’s rapid growth at the collegiate level. NCAA Director of Championships and Alliances Ryan Tressel explains how the organization built the championship structure from the ground up—leaning on Division II and III templates, collaborating with coaches and USA Wrestling, and navigating qualification numbers, format decisions, and calendar placement. With more than 100 NCAA institutions sponsoring women’s wrestling and 180 qualifiers approved for the inaugural event, the championship reflects unprecedented expansion since the sport achieved emerging status.   The event will stream on ESPN+ with multi-mat “whip-around” coverage before culminating on a single championship mat Saturday night. Hosted in partnership with Think Iowa City and the Iowa City Area Sports Commission, the Coralville venue offers a compact, fan-friendly setup designed to create a reunion-style atmosphere for athletes, alumni, and supporters. As Division III prepares to sponsor its own standalone championship in 2028, the 2026 tournament represents both a milestone and a launching point for the NCAA era of women’s collegiate wrestling.   Save $10 on the D1 Preview Guide at mattalkonline.com/guide by using the discount code “podcast” at checkout.   Short Time Wrestling Podcast: Episode 798 –Recorded February 19, 2026.

    Working to #KeepCBUWrestling with alum Nolan Kistler

    California Baptist wrestling sits at the center of a growing fight over opportunity, access, and the future of Olympic sports. Nolan Kistler, a multiple-time All-American and CBU alumnus, breaks down why the program matters—not just to Southern California wrestlers, but to first-generation college students, faith-based education, and a region with tens of thousands of high school athletes and only one Division I option. From family legacy to community impact, the case for keeping CBU wrestling goes far beyond wins and losses.   The conversation also digs into the realities behind program cuts, Title IX misconceptions, and what organized resistance looks like when a sport is pushed to the margins. With more than $1 million raised toward a $20 million endowment goal, the Keep CBU Wrestling movement is gaining momentum, aiming for a seat at the table rather than a final verdict. At stake is not just one program, but the broader survival of Olympic sports and pathways that wrestling has long provided. www.keepcbuwrestling.com  Save $20 on an annual BTN+ subscription!
