Actually, I have seen Big Tom write, on this messageboard many times and on his website, that WAR is the best, better then all others. I remember a while back when he was being challenge on this board to say he was better then AIW. He wouldnt do it. It's one thing to stand behind and believe in your company, its another to say you are better then all others. Thats a personal opinion. And as far as Bruiser is concerned, if they really are just a bunch of marks who only draw 100 people, then what is the big deal? Have your shows, draw your 400-500 people and let it be what it is.
I'm not saying you are wrong or right about this Bruiser company, I don't know. But I do find it hard to believe that they fed a bunch of lies to a large company like Monster and they didn't check anything out. Somehow, Monster felt it would be better served sponsoring Bruiser then WAR.
