Who is the top 12 pullers that should go to the mega match in September in Tennessee?
Cobra
Corey Miller
Brandon Dye
Bryon Thomas
Rick Soliwada
Gabe Accardi
Michael Shaloub
Cory Ruiz
Norm Devio
Vern Martel
Jason Rivas
Ray J.
No particular order here. Is this the best, or should anyone else be on the list? Help me out here and see what it takes to make this happen!

Good List Willie, You could add Flori Dutra to the list, as he is a tough 154. Jim

You are right, James. Flori is a very tough 154 puller, as well as Luke Kindt is. This is very hard to do. Matt Harris can also make that weight! Vasgen is a little lighter, but he could very well be in the top also.

RJ Molinere should be on here as well. The thing is, there are so many good 154 pullers out there. I would say any 12 that has been mentioned could be a great mega match for this!!

Brad Wade, from Sudbury ON. Check out 154's at Gould Classic. He took first left and right. Quite handily.

Love to see Gabe come back as well ... he was a fierce competitor ... and I enjoyed pulling him ... but he would be like me ... a couple of years out of the sport makes a difference. A person can not expect to walk back into this sport and be back on top right away .... you got to pay your dues. Times change and there is a new breed of armwrestler out here ... these guys accelerate fast in the sport due to the knowledge that is at their finger tips. I spent a lot of money in the past traveling to the backyards of top pullers ... so that I could pull against them and learn new moves or techniques. Now a days ... you can see and learn how to train from the best on the internet. You can see how a guy pulls before you even pull him ... which helps you train how to beat this opponents style. Gary has done his job in this sport ... that is for sure! I have been inspired by many of the greats and marvel at what they still can achieve or what they have accomplished ... but I enjoy seeing the new armwrestlers as well ... because they will be the ones to help keep our great sport alive. I hope by coming back ... I can still give my opponents the challenge that they need ... and if anything .. make them challenge themselves even more. This sport has made me challenge myself more then anything in my life ... and I have nothing more to prove in it ... except a undying love to be a part of it. I hope someone can arrange an event match up like this in the 154 pound class ... it is obvious a lot of people would love to see the outcome. I can remember Travis trying to do this before as well ... but the timing was wrong for a lot of the pullers to make it. I will be watching to see what happens ... and if it can take place a couple of weeks before or after the Worlds ... I will do my best to be a part of it. I really look forward to seeing a lot of you again soon! |
