WNFR Overview pre perf in Las Vegas

Written by

The Cowboy Lifestyle Network team is pumped to be at the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. This is the event we wait for all year long as rodeo fans, sponsors, and competitors.
Every December the WNFR is held in Las Vegas, NV at the Thomas and Mack Center on the campus of UNLV. The top 15 contestants in the world from each event compete for the world champion title. At the end of the WNFR the world will not only know the top roughies, ropers, and can chasers, but the All-Around Champion as well! The All Around title is awarded at the end of the WNFR to the highest-earning cowboy who competes in multiple events throughout the year.
With 15 world champion titles already under his belt, Montana Silversmith will be awarding yet another All Around title to Trevor Brazile. Trevor is coming into the finals with an overwhelming $140,019 lead on the nearest challenger, Shane Proctor. Although Proctor did compete in multiple events throughout the year, he is only coming to this arena with one qualifying event. Brazile will be competing this next 10 days with 2 events- it will be impossible for any cowboy to even come close. CONGRATS TREVOR BRAZILE on yet another majestic year.
This 10 day long show on dirt is jam packed with action every night. Make sure to watch the top cowboys in the world compete for the world champion titles. If you can’t make it out to Vegas and would like to watch it from the comfort of your own home: grab a Coors Banquet with a side of Pendleton and flip the channel to GAC- your exclusive TV broadcaster.

Patrick OD O'Donnell

The moment a bull's gate swings open—that's when Patrick "OD" O'Donnell feels most alive. From his early days riding bareback through Arizona pastures to revolutionizing the bull riding industry as President of Bull Riders Only, OD has lived the Western lifestyle he now champions as Founder of Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Growing up in Casa Grande's sunbaked agricultural heartland, he didn't just learn about horses and ranching, he lived it daily, developing the instincts and grit that would later attract 4 million followers to CLN's authentic voice. After his baseball days at the University of Arizona, OD saw something others missed: bull riding wasn't just a sport, but was compelling entertainment waiting for the right vision. Between 1990-1997, his leadership transformed local rodeo competitions into sold-out arena events that changed Western sports forever. Today, that same pioneering spirit drives CLN's coverage of everything from championship rodeos to the quiet heroism of ranch life. When he's not building the digital home for cowboy culture, you'll find OD supporting Harris Brothers Charity Foundation, leading CLN’s 25-year Christmas Toy Drive for Arizona kids, or sharing his love of horsemanship with special needs riders through Arizona's own Horses Help. Living proof that authentic Western values still have the power to transform lives.
