It was wonderful. The host was difficult to hear even with the microphone but it was still a great experience just make sure you pay attention if you want to volunteer to fight. I got a great video of my son struggling to push these strong men. The wrestlers put on a great show and the food was pretty awesome too. My picky son ate most of his meal.
