ArmDrag.com is looking for volunteers to help populate the Archives. We're not only looking for results, but tournament brackets, photos, and articles as well. Many college and public libraries have microform copies of complete newspapers dating back over 100 years. In them, you can find lots of wrestling results. If you enjoy doing research, and you have some time, make a trip to the library and check it out. Ask a librarian how to get started and how to print out the articles that you find.
