Why are you guys against competition? What do you think drives free enterprise? Selfless desire to help people? Selfishness and competition is exactly why capitalism works as well as it does.
The people who have been critical - myself included - of the PDI are not against competition. Last year the PDI was supposed to have a series of amateur shows in the US plus a series of professional shows. Most of them got cancelled. Other than message board threads the two shows that did happen got almost zero coverage either here in Europe or the US.
If Arnold decided tomorrow to start a new federation he'd have promoters and sponsors falling over themselves to support him. That would be competition.
Last year, the PDI had no other promoters - Wayne promoted both shows - and next to no sponsorship. That's not a foundation for competition. How long can Wayne continue to finance his folly?
