Did we ever sort out who would be stepping in to film Unifieds for Gary? Another person filming for ARMTV? Another crew or organization?

Pullerville.com would be honored to have that privilege, but I'm not sure who we'd need the clearance from. Anybody who has been watching lately knows that we are definitely capable. My crew will be attending the event regardless. Somebody in a position to make that decision just needs to give the word and consider it done.

Wait a second... Are you telling me that Unifieds (the biggest tourney of the year) is one week away and Gary is not only NOT filming it but has made no arrangements for it to be filmed?? Are you F#*£>NG kidding me  Kyle, if you do film it there is absolutely ZERO reason to give it to Gary (and i hope you do film it because your quality and turn around is second to none). Please edit it and post it on YouTube so everyone can enjoy it. |

First off, you have no idea if Gary has or hasn't been talking to anyone to film it. Second, you have no idea if Gary intends to pay Kyle. Third, I wouldn't call ARMTV a rip off. I regularly go on just to watch old video and learn. Why would Kyle ever help out Gary? Well maybe be he realizes that Gary can't do it all himself, he has obligations elsewhere.
Gary has been trying to make ARMTV work for the past, what, 8 years? He has done a lot for the sport. We as an armwrestling community should realize that at the level the sport is now Gary might not be able to do this full time, travel to every major event, and post things right away.
Yes if ARMTV had a big budget and resources to go ALL major events and have things posted within days, and it wasn't happening, then we would have something to complain about. 20 bucks a month really isn't that much to bitch about SOOO F'n much people

If I am wrong and the filming of Unifieds has been a settled issue for sometime then i will be the first to apologize for jumping to conclusions. Logan I wish I felt the same way you did. Ive been an armtv member for 7 years. Ive watched just about all the archived videos that i want to see about 10 times. In the past year or so the number and quality of NEW footage has decreased dramatically. If There was not a solid plan put in place by Gary to have Unifieds filmed then I say that is one more example of piss poor service. |

Gary has a business and as paying customers we have a right to quality service. Kyle you do a great job, I hope if you do work for Gary on this you get compensated appropriately. |

I want to hop in here and say that I have known Gary from the beginning and besides Fish and Harold Ryden am probalby his oldest customer. I appreciate what you guys are saying, but this man has given up his life for us literally! He has done above and beyond what any of us would have done and I have seen him go without sleep for days so we can have video. IMO if you have something to say to Gary you should have the guts to do it in person by e-mail or phone and not speak ill about a situation of which none of us are even sure in public. This new opportunity by the way will help Gary to be able to afford to continue to provide filming for us JMO

For the record, my reason for posting this thread is to simply find out IF someone or some group was filming as Gary told me personally he will not be there. This post is in no way an attack on Gary, my friend, OR SHOULD I SAY "WASN'T" intended to attack Gary. Those who attack Gary on this thread have doneso themselves and have turned this into another ARMTV bashing thread. Gary, I support you as a friend and I support ARMTV.

This is solely an issue of business. I have expressed my opinion to Gary several times and he knows how I feel. I do think you are correct that this board isnt the best place to vent frustrations sometimes and for that I do apologize to Gary. I've taken the necessary steps to remedy this situation for myself so I will no longer be commenting on ARMTV. I sincerely hope that all the expectations that Gary has for ARMTV come to fruition. I sincerely wish him the best of luck. |

John, I too have known Gary from the beginning. Back when he was asking people to send in video's and he was charging I believe 3 dollars a month to join. Then it went up to $6.00.
When did expecting service for OUR hard earned dollars become a personal attack?? I haven't read one post that has been out of line. The last time this issue came out years ago it was revealed Gary isn't doing to badly running a business that he chose to do.
I hope Kyle films the event, personally I enjoy watching the video's he post for free. And yes, I am still a member of ARMTV.
