Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue vs Oklahoma Joe's

Oklahoma Joe's - I like their smokeyjoe sandwich and it is closer to my house. But, the sales tax collection from Fiorella's Jack Stack is more beneficial to me because that eating establishment is within the city I live in. I like Fiorella's ribs better than OK Joe's - but OK Joe's fries are plentiful and tastey.

I like them both and they both serve a purpose. I have never tried to go to both OK Joe's and Fiorella's on the same day.

Brute (Kansas City area) VS USA Kids Nationals (Iowa)

I like them both they both serve a purpose.

From an economic perspective the wrestling dollar from Brute stays in the Missouri and Kansas economy longer than a dollar spent in Cedar Falls. Both tournaments offer kids some competition and one has bigger/tougher brackets in some cases.
I think a few kids that wrestled in KC could have done well in Cedar Falls. What are the chances of getting USA Kids nationals back in Kansas or Missouri? Wisconsin did not send many of their High School Kids to Virginia because Cedar Falls was closer. So having 3 or 4 of these events on different weekends should benefit both tournaments - ASSUMING families can afford to go to ALL of the events. Does USA Wrestling give back to a needy college program or is Cedar Falls, State of Iowa and UNI the main beneficiary? I see it as 2 main companies battling for the wrestling entertainment dollar - Asics vs Brute. Both tournaments could not do these events without the volunteers - they would not happen.
