Recap of the Raymond Ranellucci Event
The event to remember Ray in New York City occurred on October 30, 2015 at O'Flanagan's.  We unveiled the long lost mud wrestling video tape featuring Ray and the guys. 

It was Fall 1986 – 29 years ago – we had a Rush night themed as a mud wrestling battle royal on the lawn of 711 Comstock.   We put up sideboards, made a WWF regulation-size ring.  Dug up the lawn, hosed down the soil and made a mud pit.  Rented a bank of those night-time highway construction lights to illuminate the sloppy squared circle.  Thirty guys entered the match.  There was an epic ending.  It was an amazing night.  A video tape of the mud wrestling extravaganza fell into Mike Whalen’s lap.  It’s long and a treasure because it’s announced by Ray Ranellucci '89 and Mark Portier '87.  It’s Ray just as we would like to remember him.  All the guys from 1986-87 are on the tape.  There are interviews conducted by Ray and Mark before and after the match.  Ray is awesome, in all his glory.

The event was a culmination of a fundraising effort to name a scholarship in connection with our comeback in Ray’s name.  Mark Portier MC'd the event.
