Question for Robert Drenk

[Joseph Pagani]

Just wanted to say the last nights show was awesome, had some great matches.

1. Just wondering if Bruce Buffer will be announcing future UAL events?

2. What was his reaction to the whole event in general and Armwrestling?

[Chris Chandler]

I know you asked robert but ill say a few things. Bruce buffer was great. He makes it electric man. When he said monster michael todd it sounded hes a god. I jooe when he says the freak chandler it sounds that bad ass. Its huge for us. So thank you robert and ual.

[Jake Smith]

Amazing having him there!! It felt incredible to here my name announced from him. It will jack you up

[Joseph Pagani]

Yeah definitely, I was pumped watching from the computer! It felt just like the UFC but Armwrestling style...buffer, the belts, everything was sick!

[JAMIE SHELDON]

Friends and family watched from home saying it was very entertaining.

That's awesome to hear, IMO I think it's so important to make the non Armwrestling fans into fans of the sport! That's how it grows, UAL is definitely doing it right

[JAMIE SHELDON]

Right you are!

Joseph,

Bruce and I've talked about having him on board at all of our "larger" events, it will all depend on his UFC schedule but yes he's on board. It's not cheap so we will evaluate the cost on an event by event basis as well. Not only did he personally tell me that he very much enjoyed it and sees this being very good for TV but some mutual friends said they were talking with him and he told them the same.

I truly think it's these things that will allow us to increase the fan base "entertainment" factor is huge, I had some friends of my family and my 9 year old and 13 year old nephew at the event and they had a blast! Screaming so loud that they lost their voices! The tournament was a tad short stacked but again I don't think that's the ticket to growing the "fan base" the Ultimate Match Ups are the Ticket... We learned a lot from this event and others in the past we will continue to get better at each event!

Thanks for the support!

Robert.. the venue was perfect! People were complaining in the beginning that there was no place to sit. .but then I realized. .chairs and tables take up too much space. . And people become less interactive when sitting. . The standing only option was perfect. . I loved it. When we go to a concert that has seats everyone looks board. .but everyone usually stands close to the stage anyway blocking tje view from the tables and chairs. .so I say no more chairs! Down with chairs!

[Robin the manhandler Chandler]

I didn't really mind standing either awesome event

There was mention of a #6 in Chicago. Any more info on this? I may make the 10 hour drive!

This is great news and very exciting, it's going to be awesome to see the UAL grow, I hope to take part in a event soon, maybe Chicago for me?

I wasnt at this event Eric but i totally agree about the chairs. Down with the chairs brother!

For one of the super matches id like to see the crowd yelling and even booing as the set up is happening because we all know its going to the straps. This is coming from the perspective of watching it online or TV.(obviously fake yelling and booing would only be cool for my man stop sign) Not that we are WWE fake guys, but the element of the crowd booing and yelling was awesome on the tube. MAybe have everyone yelling and booing about a slip.

IMO if its going on TV every movement the Pro match-up the crowd should be acting like its a scrap match going down on UFC. instruct them before and indicate it when they should. This should be directed at Bill or Robert.

Id pay to see it.
