[Dave Chaffee]

Thank you Gary! Awesome video!

[petehenze]

All I have to say you walk the talk, dave your a bad man...Way to represent the USA grats on the Gold

[philbauer]

All that with a broken right arm...3 years ago? maybe less! Chaffee is a bad dude.

[Pete & Tim]

Finally something worth watching!!!!

[Tero Lampikari]

Congrats again Dave! A BEAST!

Sorry you didn't get the chance to pull the final and we didn't get the chance to see you pin your opponent due to his fouls.

Why can't there be a running foul system applied to the finals at least?

I know you would have pinned him Dave but I sure would have liked to have seen it. Well, maybe next year?

[Steven Green]

Is it me or does Dave look twice the size of those guys! Dave you are a beast. How long have you been pulling?

[Steven Green]

Dave would have smashed that guy again. The first match he (UKR) was hanging on for dear life.

Big props Dave. GOLD GOLD GOLD.

[Dave Chaffee]

Steven, i have been pulling a little over 4 years now. Phil, I broke my arm in Feb 07. Just 3 months after i started.

[Steven Green]

Only four years and a broken arm to World Champ!

Congrats again. Thanks for the inspiration.

[philbauer]

Only 4 years from broken arm to world champ? That means in 2 years I am gunna be great! Well done.

[Anthony Edens]

This guy has been hitting up the tournament scene as much as anyone. How many tournaments have you been to each of the last two years Dave?

You did see him pin him the first time they pulled. And while rules can be a pain, had he followed them he could have had another shot to pull (and lose) to Dave.

Lets not digress to far from the topic, which is giving Dave big props and respect for an undefeated World Title! He busts his butt for this, and diets and trains to come in as big and strong as possible. This is number one of many for him!

[Gary Roberts]

Undefeated is the word right there. A World Title not easy...a World Title Undefeated...even more difficult. Wowza.

I agree with you Jim. Dave has done that and I'm only questioning the rules prohibiting the pin from him.

That doesn't diminish the victory in any way in my mind but it is not good for the sport to allow an opportunity for a puller to "bail out" with fouls and excuses and not be completely and indisputably defeated in a final.

World Champion is Dave Chaffee. The best. Undisputed.
