List of FloWrestling events

During the COVID-19 pandemic, FloWrestling managed to put on a list of events while the sport of freestyle wrestling was absent.[1]

Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, amateur wrestling, known for being an active sport with multiple competitions in the USA, was forced to close down.[2] The biggest promotions of different sports, such as the NFL and the NBA, were absent during this time, and so was FloWrestling.[1]

FloWrestling: Dake vs. Chamizo was an amateur wrestling event produced by FloWrestling that took place on July 25, 2020, at the Omni Austin at Southpark on Austin, Texas, United States.[3]

Background

This event was the second major amateur wrestling event hosted in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic after Rumble on the Rooftop.[4] It was originally going to feature just three bouts, Kyle Dake vs. Frank Chamizo, David Taylor vs. Pat Downey and Anthony Ashnault vs. Luke Pletcher.[5]

On July 6, Ashnault was forced to pull out of his bout against Pletcher after suffering an injury[6] and was replaced by Darrion Caldwell on July 10.[7]

On July 8 and 10 respectively, bouts between Roman Bravo-Young vs. Jack Mueller and Vitali Arujau vs. Sammy Alvarez were added to the card.[8][9]

On July 12, the co-main event formed by David Taylor and Pat Downey fell apart after Downey had problems with the organization and withdrew from the card.[10] He was replaced by Myles Martin on July 15.[11]
