For me the Straps / Tags that I have given to Armwrestlers over the years have always been related to something specific about that individual their personality / demeanour or style. Some Pullers have more than one maybe one is fun & one more serious BUT always with meaning or substance behind the name. Here are a few most memorable Tags / Nicknames that I've put on some of the Uk's and indeed the Worlds best pullers over the years :- John Brzenk "The Quiet Man" "The Quiet / Perfect Storm" "The Peaceful Dictator" ( THE GOAT G.reatest O.f A.ll T.ime = Fun Alternative also remember a GOAT..........can EAT anything !!! ;D ) "NO LIMITS" Devon Larratt"MONSTER" Michael Todd "IRON" Ion Onchescu"The Enigma of Rage" Engin Terzi (funny version "The Angry Lad" or "Angry Turk" "Captain Scarlett" Steve Rogers"WiseGrip" Andy Barker "The Badger" "The Master" Pascal Girard"The Birmingham Bullet" Craig Sanders ("Scary" = funny alternative) "The Elf" Ted Wilson"Trigger Happy" Terry AckersRuslan "Bad Young Brother" Babyev"The Babyfaced Assassin" Rustam Babyev ( RIF = R.esistance I.s F.utile) "The Ukraine Pain Train" Andre Pushkar"Mighty" Paul Maiden"Secret" Stuart Hall"Little Instinct" Malin Bergstrom"Monster Month" August Smisl"Mr. Intensity" Sylvan Carty"Silverback" Nigel Cawthorne"The Love Muscle" Chris GreavesIvan "Pad Finder" Portellaetc. etc. etc. Cheers Neil

"The Enigma of Rage" Engin Terzi (funny version "The Angry Lad" or "Angry Turk" i never liked a nick name for myself and i never liked to use any of them but with time you get what you deserve good or bad and Neil gave me some nick names which i can not deny that suit well on me.so i must say that i get used to be called that way .. The Enigma of Rage as a general opinion The Angry Turk for a daily calling i like them both because both are the truth,not much to add.. thanks Neil,"MOFA" ;D = Multiple&Optional use For Armwrestling (Commentary-Reffing-Announcement-Pulling-Coaching-Leading-Organising)

Well I've have been called "Popeye" since the beginning of my career. Hmmm, that's almost 30 years ago. I never have called myself or used any nick names, but have many of them. I just like Champ. :-) That's good enough for me, since this is what God made me a world champ.

Here are some more I thought of that Jeff made up:
"The Ironman" Brent Norris "Hollywood" Lenny Lockert "The Jager-Master" Mark Clay
These two I'm not sure if he came up with but it's what he called them at our tournaments:
Corey "FLASH" Miller and "THE PHENOM" Chris Chandler

Allen,i have seen your forearm very close in 2001 AAA nationals and at that time i realised that your forearm is much bigger than how it looks because you also have a heavyweight sized hand that hides the real size of your forearm.when i brought my forearm by yours i realised how big is your forearm.pound for pound i think you have the largest forearm in the sport of armwrestling and "POPEYE" sounds correct for you
