I am Dying to know how Mike Bowling is pulling in New Orleans!!! He DID NOT PULL IN ANY OF THE QUALIFYING EVENTS HELLO!!!! I must be Brain Dead or this is a Stupid Ass Joke!!!!!!!!! Mike was busy running the first event and reffing other events. Mike worked closely along side with the people running the events and was extended a special invitation. In all honesty, he's been around pulling long enough to get a special invitation for what he has done for the sport. Plus, had he pulled at the events, there is almost no doubt he would have been in the top 8 at one of them. Either way, I don't even know if he is planning on going after how badly the WAL has treated Ethan. Has anyone noticed how Ethan wasn't even included in the list? Can we all be as pissed about that as we are about Mike being included?

I'm confused on how anyone would even know about Ethan? To be upset that is...
The list of pullers is public info, I can only assume the above about Ethan is not...

The only part that that even is relevant to anything being public is the absence of Ethan's name from the list. The other part about Ethan being treated like crap by the WAL was only to give reason to why Mike may not even go to the New Orleans tournament. If everyone is getting upset about someone being added to the list, why not also be upset about someone not being on the list that qualified? I don't think Ethan or Mike care, I'm just trying to say that Mike didn't do anything wrong except have his name put on a list.

I get that, I was referring to your comment on the drama with wal and Ethan you stated.
Maybe the 165 guys are not paying attention , or don't care who's in there class... Not sure on that one.

I would like to know why Ethan was excluded if he qualified. That sounds more unfair than adding a puller that worked the event in numerous way.

I thought that the Ethan thing had to do with his signing with the UAL. I was under the impression that unless you were a big name like Brzenk or Barboza, they didn't want their athletes competing in the WAL events.

Any unpaid UAL athlete could have competed at WAL in Atlantic city. Most of us chose not to. Bigger and better things awaits us.

There is way to much speculation on leagues. People assume misconceptions all the time and then people run with it like it's proven fact. Ethan isn't on the UAL'S current roster.

Ooooookay.... There is a skewed fu(kin mindset with the vast majority on here... It is making me bonkers!!! Mike bowling pulling... Yeah... Who cares???... Qualify my balls!! He helped set up and run the event. ALL of you would throw a helper or friend a bone if in the same spot... That is if you had any moral. The same fu(Kers that'd ask a high school friend to cut them a break on the speeding ticked when said cop has been dishing em out all day .... Now we have justice in question ?!?! They pay... Their rules... Period. Any of you guys play pool from bar to bar... Or poker even ?... Point is you can't friendly with "HOUSE RULES". House rules in WAL are we do what we please because we have the money. Now people saying they demand an explanation from an organization that is shelling serious dough... Well tickle my skittle pouch... That is a horse of a different color !! YOU!!!...and "you " is anyone questioning the powers that be... UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION!!! You are the same guys that are only above barroom armwrestlers via a table with pads and understanding of some leverage... Other than that you are as pawn as a pawn can be... Hint... Pawn does not fu(k with queen... Pawn runs from queen... Pawn gets chewed up game is still a go... Queen goes... Game is looking bleak. Only in an insane alternate reality have I seen part time "gig" like employees try to demand explanations and dictate to the CEOs of business... This is wacky They can scour the globe and get every anomaly and hybrid ape/alien/sea creature/ multi jointed freak and give em a crack at the prize.... It's THEIR SHOW!!!.... Hello!!!!
They pay... You wanna play I suggest instead of making demands you just see it for what it is and chase that pot O gold, because while you are throwing up a b:tchy smoke screen that rainbow may just fade
All side show sh:t aside... I think mike has a place in that event, at least he would if I was WAL, but I'm old school... I don't even Facebook.
Far as I know Ethan made choices he saw best for him based on his exp., not saying I agree with WAL, but fact is when money is in play everyone gets bent and entitled... Like this giant thread displays

I've heard about this kind of thing for some time now. Omg. Really, I'm tired of hearing people say this. The UAL has been around for four years. And they are supposed to create something huge in that amount of time. To build a successful business it takes years. It doesn't happen over night.
