I've been in San Jose, Calif. for less than 24 hours, getting prepared for a new major international sports event, the Titan Games.    I know that the wrestling community is aware of the event, because most of our top athletes are participating. Whenever America's best Senior-level stars are on display, there is a great opportunity for wrestling people to enjoy the sport.    This event is unique because it displays many combat sports, side by side, all at the same time. Fans can enjoy World-class wrestling, but will also be able to see boxing, fencing, judo, karate, shot put, taekwondo and weightlifting right next to it.    All I can say after being here a day is that if you live in California and can get to San Jose, don't miss the Titan Games on Friday and Saturday night.    The arena is being set up right now and it is impressive. There are four raised platforms for competition. At one end is the Fencing and Weightlifting Battle Zone. (All of the competition areas are called "battle zones.") Next is the Judo and Karate Battle Zone. Next comes the Boxing Battle Zone. Then on the end, where the arena has the most seating, is the Wrestling Battle Zone.    The San Jose State Events Center is an intimate arena, and the fans will be nice and close to the action. The U.S. Olympic Committee has taken great lengths to make the arena very attractive, with huge bright signs around the field of play. The event has the feel of a mini-Olympic Games, which was the intention of those who have organized the event. Just by standing in the arena, it feels like the action will be intense and the format fun. The large video screens in the arena will give the fans another way to enjoy the action in front of them.    The U.S. wrestling team has its matches in "prime time," during the 7:00 p.m. session on both Friday and Saturday. Those that may not be able to come by during the day will have an opportunity to enjoy a night wrestling match (along with all those other sports).    And that action should be tremendous. The Cuban team is powerful, with five World Champions and numerous Olympic and World medalists on the roster. The International All-Stars, mostly from former Soviet republics, is also a strong group. America's best will be here, with 13 matches of action in freestyle, Greco-Roman and women's wrestling in every dual meet.    There are a few battles I just can't wait to see. First, the Cael Sanderson/Yoel Romero match at 85 kg in freestyle is by itself worth the price of admission. These stars have never met. Romero is a proven World superstar, who competes with speed and power and swagger. Sanderson is on his way up, with speed and technical skills rare for a big athlete. This match should be explosive, and the outcome cannot be predicted.     Romero had a tremendous rivalry with America's last World Champion at this division, Les Gutches. It got a bit testy at times, especially at the Pan American Games in Canada when Gutches won, celebrated like Romero does when he wins, and there was a well-publicized pushing match. I'm not sure this one will end with a fight, but there is a great possibility that a new rivalry may begin starting Friday.    In Greco-Roman, everybody's favorite heavyweight Rulon Gardner has something to prove. He lost his first match since his toe amputation to frostbite on Sunday night in the finals of the Dave Schultz Memorial International in Colorado Springs. Young powerful Mijian Lopez jumped to 3-0 lead on Big Ru, then put on the defense and shut the match down. As you might expect, Rulon Gardner has great pride and just hates losing. How Gardner reacts to his loss should be very interesting. It would help Rulon if a loud and vocal American crowd came out to support him on Friday night.    There will be six rematches from the Dave Schultz International during the Titan Games dual meets. The U.S. won three of the bouts, and the foreign athletes won the other three. It should be fun to see if Jim Gruenwald, Sara McMann and Tim Hartung can beat the athletes they defeated in the Springs, and if Gardner, Brandon Paulson and Tina Wilson can avenge their losses there.    Dual meet tournaments are exciting, especially when the team score is close. If you have been to the World Cup, or the college National Duals, you know what I mean. A vocal audience can often make a big difference in dual meet competitions.    Wrestling is a big deal in California, and two of their native sons will be on display. Both won three California state titles, then three NCAA titles. Both are top Olympic medal hopefuls. When you mention Stephen Abas and Eric Guerrero to California wrestling people, they take great pride in these champions. Now is a chance for them to come out and support these Californians and their Olympic dreams by filling the stands.    I know that California USA Wrestling has been working hard to get wrestling people out to support our team. I also know that it is a tough time for the high school kids, with their major post-season tournaments going on this weekend. Some people will just not be able to make it, and we understand that. But everybody else should come out for the meet.    It is nice to see quality wrestling on the San Jose State campus again, as the school no longer sponsors a varsity program. The school does have an active club program, coached by one of our most active Veterans wrestlers Jim Lucas. There is a NCWA regional qualifying tournament at San Jose State during the day this weekend that Coach Lucas is hosting.     The people in California are pushing San Jose State to consider bringing back varsity wrestling. A strong turnout of wrestling fans at the Titan Games will show the university sports leaders how must wrestling means in this community.    Anybody who enjoys great wrestling and lives within driving range of San Jose needs to be at the Titan Games this weekend. The event is not sold out. Wrestling has an opportunity to make a statement to the USOC as well as for the national media by having a strong showing here. Our athletes need your support, and our sport needs your attendance. See you in San Jose on Friday and Saturday.       TheMatside View is published on Tuesdays (usually).
