The 2016 NCAA Wrestling Championships complete recap: LIVE! From New York!

It's broadcast live from Midtown Manhattan and one of the Baldwin brothers was there! That can only mean one thing: the 2016 NCAA Wrestling Championships at Madison Square Garden!

Hosted for the first time ever by the World's Most Famous Arena (and future MMA venue), the most fearsome college athletes descended upon New York to cap off their year-long quest for glory. After three days and 640 matches featuring the NCAA's only sanctioned combat sport (and no, I am not counting fencing), many fans have already dubbed it the best tournament in recent memory.

This year's tournament consisted of 10 weight classes of 33 wrestlers each, arriving from 77 Division 1 programs from across the country.
