I think the concurrent evolution of the UAL and the WAL is a great opportunity for head to head events between rival leagues. why not? it would be real easy to find out where the talent and production prowess lies....
and a great opportunity for a lot of people to put their money here their mouth is.

Okay so I voted UAL assuming the question is which did I like better between UAL 6 and the first WAL event. Without hating on or trying to make either organization upset, this is just my opinion, UAL 6 vs WAL "1".
UAL was more professional in appearance.
UAL had better commentary BUT both lacked good commentary (of course UAL had good commentary with Neil and others on the live feed, I'm just talking the commentary at the event).
Reffing was better at UAL.
The talent level was insane at both. I've thought about it a decent amount and decided the comp level was equal. The classes were insanely stacked at both events.
Wal had more prize money for the pro class in the tourney. It's not all about the money but money is nice.
Wal had after pulling which is IMO a must have at tourneys...
With that being said I really liked both tourneys and although I picked UAL as the better tourney this time I doubt ill be attending many UAL events anytime soon with the new "have to be contracted to get paid" rule... Like I said its not all about the $ but I don't see the point in traveling to a tourney where I can't get paid when there's a tourney with an equal comp level paying... And if others think the same as I'm sure they will, wal will become more stacked too. So ill pick the tourney with money and, likely, more comp, when I travel. If I go to non money events they will be local, unless its nats or worlds, pretty much how I've been doing things for years.

Pretty much what Josh said sums it up perfect for me with the addition of I liked the way the WAL dropped cash on the table for random matches. The only other addition I could see is setting up some rankings matches or UMU out of the blue that all would like to see or just a great grudge match.

Hey Robert Bishop,
I think that, UAL is a great for very nice UAL champion Title Belt the same WWC and WWF wrestling title belt that's very cool ! Depend on UAL has some prize money. And WAL is a great for prize big money for 1st place -5th place, I like it, also Who person want to bet some money for pull on a table, I would like to bet money for pull on a table , no matter win or lose then accept it. that's it as get an experience and learn it, . UAL and WAL are continue very good business and equal.

Two great organizations. One powered by ..I like to say "hollywood" ie: game of arms. However the UAL throws consistent events. The UAL has proven thus far they are in it for the long run. The WAL is just starting out and will be around only if it gets a great response. Will the WAL still exist if they are not happy with the numbers? Then we have a man who is a business owner, business oriented and has a true passion in his heart for armwrestling. So yeah he is making some decisions in his organization so he doesn't go bankrupt that not everyone is hapoy with, but at least he is giving you a choice and will still more than likely be here to give us events ...even if he takes a bad hit in his pockets. Will the WAL do that? Or run away once they realize this underground sport will never be mainstream..... or will they stick around for us. That's where it comes down to. So dont go writing off the UAL , when still the WAL has a lot of proving to do still. Lets not be hypocrites ladies and gentlemen, because we are all in the same boat.

It's really not fair to compare a WAL event right out the gate to a UAL event that has 6 events in it's back pocket already. Maybe we all can re-live this if and when the WAL has around 4 or 5 events in the books. Just my two cents.
