He has competed in the WAF championships the past three years, travelling to Bra- sil, Poland and Lithuania. Shea is the current Canadian National Champion and hopes to qualify for the 2015 WAF championships in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. WAF differs from WAL as to qualify for WAF you must be first or second in your coun- try. Anyone can enter the WAL qualifying tournaments but only the top 8 from a series of 4 qualifying events through- out the USA qualify for the $150,000 tournament in New Orleans. WAF prizes are med- als and in many countries, world champions are national heroes. Most people in Can- ada do not know the sport exists as it has not been widely popular in North America since its hayday in the 1980s when the Hollywood block- buster, "Over the Top" starring Sly Stallone was produced.
