I don't have the authority to grant or deny authority.  I am simply pointing out historical usage.  I will add example(s) of amateur sports marketing Nounifying an Adjective - Penn Relays.  It is just cooler sounding than Penn Relay Races.

thats fine, but go back and look at how this started, i pointed out a grammatical nuance for fun and in reference to previous discussion. i wasn't judging the "dual" people.

here is a funny variation, in wrestling we have "dual meets" which is fine, but we also have "duals" which makes no sense because dual is an adjective. we should have duels which is a noun.

When I said who has duals? We had Dual Meets where I come from.  It meant they were the same thing.  I’m sorry. I thought you were above the kiddie table. Please accept my apology

Remember the good ol days when Messenbrink was picked to beat O'toole this year and win a championship his freshman year. 

By "Good old days," does today qualify?

Most I know is Mitchell's dad was Keegan's coach at AWA so I'm sure they are very familiar with each other.  Coach Messenbrink deserves a lot of credit for developing what is now known as "funk wrestling".  One thing I love watching Mitchell do is letting opponents get in on a single leg and then working off his wizard.  It's a real work of art. 

Same high school too, I think.

But I thought Askren gave a lot of credit to Mike Eierman for funk development?

I don't imagine it all came from one person. I recall a lot coming out of a club near Pittsburgh (Adam Frey's dad among others). I remember hearing of one guy from the 60s inspiring the club to develop it even though that guy wasn't really a big name.

He absolutely did.  Meant that he's helped carry that torch as a coach for AWA.  He's also a big proponent of chain wrestling which compliments funk/scrambling.
