WNO Golden Tickets Earned On Fargo Stage
WNO Golden Tickets Earned On Fargo Stage
Three of the best high schoolers in the country earned a golden ticket invite to wrestle at Who's #1.
For the last few years, the bright lights of Fargo have eliminated some big-time performances that earned someone a title and an invite to Who’s #1.
This year proved to be another one of those occasions as three of the best high schoolers in the country earned their shot at the top spot in the country. Two of them—Macey Kilty and Jordan Decatur—will each be making their second appearance in the Snakepit. Meanwhile, Carson Kharchla is making his first after a golden ticket-earning performance.
These three really proved their worth on the Fargo stage. Let’s take an even deeper look at how these three showed out to earn a spot at this year’s WNO.
