About Journeymen Wrestling<\/p>\n

The Journeymen Wrestling Club was the brainchild of Frank Popolizio, now a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (2018).<\/p>\n

Popolizio\u2019s hope, when developing the concept in 1999, was to bring top-tier wrestling to upstate New York, while supporting and teaching the area\u2019s up-and-coming amateur competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His efforts first brought Division I collegiate teams to the area, and it wasn\u2019t long before Popolizio was able to introduce a youth program, plus camps and clinics that featured some of the sport\u2019s top names as instructors and mentors.<\/p>\n

Even as the Journeymen Wrestling Club continued to grow, host more events and spread its messages, Popolizio continued reaching the next generation of stars as a championship-winning high school coach in the Capital Region of upstate New York.<\/p>\n
