Chapter 400: Wrestling God
A month later, the World Wrestling Championship, which was expected by all wrestlers around the world, began, and the reason why it was named was mainly to pave the way for the World Fighting Championships that followed.
Wrestling is also a form of martial arts, and there will certainly be wrestlers among the World Fighting Champions next year, and there may even be some of the world's top wrestlers who can win medals at the Olympics.
This will undoubtedly greatly improve the quality of the World Fighting Championship, and as long as the first edition is successful, the influence of this event will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future.
Wrestling is not as good as track and field, track and field athletes have various Grand Prix competitions to make money, not to mention football, basketball and other sports that make more money.
Not only wrestling, but also athletes in many martial arts events do not make much money, and Eden is ready to make this World Fighting Championship a Grand Prix, so that these fighters can have another way to make money.
Of course, this must be a win-win situation, the players can make money, and Yiyang's side must not lose money.
This wrestling tournament has long attracted the attention of wrestlers all over the world, especially at this level where Yi Dun is located, the prize money is incomparably rich, attracting almost all the top fighters in the world to sign up for the competition.
The gold and silver medalists in the 130kg category at the Beijing Olympics are all here, and no one will be unmoved in the face of millions of dollars in prize money.
The gold medalist was López Nunez from Cuba, while the silver medalist was Kaya Alep from Turkey.
These two should be regarded as the two strongest players in the wrestling world at present, because their participation has directly improved the level and compulsion of the original Sino-Korean wrestling match.
It's not just the 130kg class, but there are also many top players in other kg.
For example, Henry Cejudo, a 55kg player from the United States, who won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, also came to participate in the competition this time.
It's not just wrestlers, some judoka have signed up for the tournament, but they're all big heavyweights, and they're aiming for the 130-kilogram men's prize money.
This also proves that Eden is right, as long as the prize money of the World Fighting Championship is attractive enough, it will definitely attract high-quality fighters.
As long as the player's grade comes up, the attention of the game will definitely be higher, and it will be able to have a higher ability to attract gold.
……
Now Yi Dun already has a certain reputation in the wrestling circle, but if he wants to say that he is the world's No. 1 wrestling king, there must be countless people who do not recognize it.
That is, the domestic side thinks that Yi Dun's wrestling strength is the best in the world, and there must be no opponent in the wrestling circle.
As long as Yi Dun has never participated in a serious wrestling competition, last year's Sino-Korean wrestling match, although Yi Dun said that he was in the limelight, but after all, it was a private event, and there were many ways to do it.
In addition, the organizer of the competition is Yi Dun himself, and the recognition is definitely not high.
Nunez and Alep don't care much about Itun, they have this qualification, after all, they are Olympic gold and silver medalists, representing the highest fighting power in the world wrestling, it is impossible for Yiden to beat all the fighters in the folk event, and he thinks that Yiden will be better than them.
In this tournament, they are aiming for the highest prize money, and they probably both regard each other as their biggest opponents, and have never considered the threat that Eden may pose to them.
And if they can break the myth of the undefeated sports world, it will also bring them a lot of benefits.
Yi Dun is not only a Chinese myth, but also a myth of the world, throughout the history of the world's sports, Yi Dun belongs to the kind of unique existence, incomparably dreamy existence.
Because of his young age, Yi Dun does not have enough Olympic medals in his hands at present, and there are many medals in the World Championships, but he is certainly not the one with the most.
But even so, Eden's achievements in sports are extremely staggering, breaking many world records, and it is still the kind of record that makes people desperate, which is completely a myth.
Today, since the Beijing Olympics, no matter which event Yi Dun participates in, the final result is to win the championship, without exception, if this myth can be broken, the breaker will definitely enjoy unparalleled glory.
Excluding Cuba's Nunez and Turkey's Alep, the big heavyweights in Western countries are also ready to make a move, and even if they can't win the title, if they can win the championship, it will be a monument in their career history.
It's a pity that their wishful thinking is obviously wrong, and they underestimate Yi Dun's strength too much.
Or maybe their imagination isn't big enough to imagine Eden's dominance in wrestling.
Suffice it to say, there is no world record in wrestling, otherwise Eden would have been able to set a permanent world record in wrestling, which is more permanent than the permanent world record in the javelin.
In wrestling, Eden is invincible, undoubtedly invincible, and no one can beat Eden in wrestling at any time and place.
Yi Dun is very aware of this, the Chinese people are also very aware of this, and perhaps the Koreans and Korean wrestlers are also very aware of this, and the invincible existence in wrestling is Yi Dun.
Whether it is looking at the rules of the game or looking at the physical fitness required for wrestling, Yi Dun is the existence of beating everyone in the world, let alone winning Yi Dun, even close to Yi Dun.
After six games, Yi Dun solved the opponent in less than ten seconds in every game, and easily got the final bonus, without letting his prize money fall into other people's pockets.
This astonishing dominance shocked the wrestling circles all over the world, and they found that they were a little too wrong, and now it cannot be said that they underestimate Yi Dun's strength in wrestling, but they don't realize what kind of invincible existence Yi Dun is.
If there really is a God in this world, then Eden is the God of wrestling.
Using a title such as king or emperor is no longer a clear reflection of the dominance of the Yidun wrestling project, and wrestling God is obviously the most appropriate nickname.
Such a nickname has spread all over the world, making people more aware of what a mythical existence Eden is in the sports world.
Yi Dun's 130 kg competition, naturally to be used for the finale, his opponent is the gold medalist of the Beijing Olympics Nunez, and after Yi Dun solved Nunez in ten seconds, the host signaled that there will be a post-game press conference, so that reporters do not leave for the time being.
At this point in time, even if they drive the reporters away with a big stick, it is definitely impossible for them to leave, and now someone has gotten the news that Yi Dun is ready to hold an unprecedented fighting event in China.
This is a major event worth recording in the Chinese martial arts circle and even the sports circle, and it is not bad for journalists to be participants, so it is not bad to be a witness.
"I'm not going, it's more appropriate for you to announce the news." After the game, Yi Dun said to Tong Yangling in the backcourt.
This press conference should be called a media briefing for the launch of the World Fighting Championship, and Yi Dun felt that if he went to the conference, it would be a bit unconventional.
Yi Yang Company is definitely the organizer of the competition, and it is more appropriate for Tong Yangling and them to face the media.
"Okay, I wanted you to go with me and press the field for me."
"Hopefully I'll not be too nervous for a while." Tong Yangling's expression was a little worried, after all, it was the first time for her to participate in a press conference of this scale.
"Don't be nervous, Lao Xia will go too, anyway, Lao Xia said, just listen to you, the big leader." Yi Dun laughed.
Xia Jiuli hurriedly patted his chest, signaling Tong Yangling not to be nervous, he would carry it all the way, and there would be absolutely no accidents.
A moment later, Tong Yangling entered the conference room with Xia Jiuli and the others.
The conference room was already full, and the reporters couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw that Yi Dun did not come, and they were looking forward to taking a shot of Yi Dun and Tong Yangling in the same frame today.
Tong Yangling has always been very low-key, and rarely appears in front of the media, resulting in the outside world actually being quite curious about this Mrs. Yi.
It just so happens that there is such an opportunity today, Yi Dun didn't come, and it's not bad that Mrs. Yi came.
"Thank you for your support, and when the press conference is over, we will give you a small gift." Renjing Xia Jiuli sold well at the beginning, and said to many reporters in the audience.
The small gifts he said were actually carriage and horse fares, and reporters must be familiar with this term.
Generally speaking, after the reporter participates in some meetings, the organizer will present a red envelope of several hundred yuan, and when he meets the generous organizer, he may give a four-digit red envelope.
For some reporters with relatively large weights, it is not impossible to achieve five figures.
The industry knows this kind of thing, this is a very important source of income for reporters, Xia Jiuli didn't know about this kind of thing before, after all, it is said that interlacing is like separating mountains, and later after knowing about this from Li Zhigang, he became a lot more clever.
This kind of transportation and horse expenses have nothing to do with corruption, because they are not a government agency, and they give reporters transportation and horse expenses, which are similar in nature to advertising fees, so that reporters can write better when writing news.
"Then let me briefly talk about the purpose of this press conference, which is to announce that Yi Yang will enter the mixed martial arts field." Xia Jiuli said impassionedly.
The reporters in the audience were not surprised by the news, because there had been gossip about this before, but it has not been reported in the newspapers for the time being.
Now from the mouth of Xia Jiuli, the vice president of Yiyang Company, the reporters wondered whether the previous news would be released by Yiyang Company itself.
"Mr. Xia, may I ask what kind of consideration did your Yiyang company enter the field of mixed martial arts? Will you continue to host the Sanda King Tournament and the World Wrestling Championship that you are hosting today? A reporter stood up and asked.
"As a professional sports development company, Yiyang Company entered the field of mixed martial arts, naturally in order to make the company have a better development, as for the Sanda King event and the World Wrestling Championship, we also hope to take this opportunity today to announce that these two events will be temporarily suspended from now on."
"We want to put more energy into the mixed martial arts field, which is the future World Martial Arts Championship." Xia Jiuli said methodically.
Xia Jiuli, who has gone through countless big scenes, is now quite a general, but in front of acquaintances, he is still a little cheap.
Next, Xia Jiuli read out the entry threshold and specific rules they discussed in the past month, and read them out at the press conference.
The rules of the tournament are similar to those of other mixed martial arts events, and the reporters are really concerned about the threshold and prize money setting of this event.
