WAF worlds and World Arm Wrestling Championships?

for example

2002 WAF XXIII World Championships Alexandria, Egypt

2002 World Armwrestling Federation World Championship

Springfield, Illinois USA

Did they just have two world championships these years that two World championships were held or were there two different orginazations?

The AAA Nationals was for one Worlds, and the Unified was for another Worlds. Thankfully we are all a part of the same now.
	You do not win silver medals. You only lose gold ones.

Nemiroff World Cup = Pro Bowl. WAF Worlds = Super Bowl.
