The National Wrestling Hall of Fame would like to thank Iron Monk Brewing Company and OWrestle.com for their generous $2,000 donation from the proceeds of their inaugural Wrestling Week, held in conjunction with the NCAA Wrestling Championships. 

“On behalf of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, we are grateful to Iron Monk Brewing Company and OWrestle.com for their generosity and partnership in making Wrestling Week such a success,” said Lee Roy Smith, Executive Director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. “This initiative not only raised meaningful support for the Hall of Fame, but also brought the wrestling community together in a unique and engaging way. We appreciate their continued commitment to celebrating and strengthening the sport of wrestling.” 

A total of $1,000 was raised through silent auctions, raffles, and beer sales throughout the week, which also featured NCAA watch parties at Iron Monk and O.Wrestle.com live broadcasts. OWrestle.com generously matched the total amount raised. 

As part of Wrestling Week, Iron Monk released Pinner’s Choice to honor NCAA champion Wyatt Hendrickson, joining its original wrestling-themed beer, Low Single Leg, which pays tribute to Hall of Fame Distinguished Member John Smith. 

“Iron Monk is a proud supporter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, and the positive impact wrestling has on the Stillwater community was evident during our first-ever Wrestling Week,” said Trenton Inselman, CEO, Iron Monk Brewing Company. “This was just the beginning of a tradition that brings wrestling fans, beer enthusiasts, and the community together for a great cause. We want to extend a thank you to Wyatt Hendrickson and John Smith for partnering with us on some amazing beers, and we look forward to seeing everyone next year for Wrestling Week!” 

“Wrestling is an important part of the fabric of the state of Oklahoma and few things represent the sport and state quite like the National Wrestling Hall of Fame,” said Seth Duckworth, Publisher, OWrestle.com. “OWrestle.com was very thankful to collaborate with the Hall of Fame and Iron Monk to make such a successful event. We encourage the wrestling community across our state to visit and support this incredible asset for wrestling and for the state of Oklahoma."  

Iron Monk has been a tremendous partner of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, sponsoring Honors Weekend celebrations and contributing donations through sales of Low Single Leg.
