For 25 of the last 29 years, Ed Aliverti of Washington has announced at the Virginia Duals and sang the national anthem prior to the finals and became known throughout the country as 'The Voice of the Duals'. Ed has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has been undergoing treatment to try to combat the disease.

With colorful calls like "Red, White and Blue .. we've got a fall on two!!!" and "Rock-a-Bye Baby Time, he's got the cradle locked up deep," Ed is one of the most recognizable voices in the country.

If you wish to send Ed and his wife Shirley, also a mainstay at the Virginia Duals, everyone at the PWA and Virginia Duals Wrestling Club would be appreciative.

The Peninsula Wrestling Association hosts the 29th Annual Virginia Duals Wrestling Tournament at the Hampton Coliseum on January 9 & 10, 2009. The team advancement concept started in Hampton, Virginia with the Virginia Duals in 1981 and is now used by Virginia and many other states to determine the best High School Team in the state. The National College Wrestling Coaches Association also recognized the value of the Team Advancement concept and now has the National Dual Team Championships to recognize the best college team in the nation. The Virginia Duals Wrestling Tournament is the largest College and High School Tournament in the world.

Since the initial inception of the tournament, the tournament's prominence has outgrown its parent organization, prompting the Peninsula Wrestling Association to become the governing body over the Virginia Duals tournament and the Virginia Duals Wrestling Club, an elite-level wrestling club that trains wrestlers in all three styles of wrestling from ages 9 all the way through college.
