well.....i did it, i finally got my a$$ to canada and do what i wanted to for years now and hit the toughest event north of the border....maybe in all of NA depending on class.
The tournament was ridiculously packed and the in house energy was higher than any event ive been to and it maintained an amped level all day. there was n othing but pure A$$ kicking armwrestling all day... it was the tits
I can recap my class...and some things about other classes and the event that stick out.
ME....i tried to win both classes...it was a financial decision, i fell short.
I hurt my shoulder and had no sidepressure or defensive strength at all...what can you do, i tried to persevere but at points i couldnt even contain anyones side load and it became flash city.... i managed to get in 2nd both classes....but it was hard and painful...im paying today.
lefty...eh...what the fu*k...i started feeling unbelievable...then my left gave me its notice and walked out the room.... i dont get it... it just went away... if you see it walking down the street...ask it what the fu*k man, why did you do rob like that ?
i mean all BS aside...eric roussin has been my nemesis since my first event and we go back and forth, if i get my spot i win quick...if he gets his...he does what he does...
the reality, there are some very talented pullers up there...
they dont get out globally but there werent any easy draws... there might have been a case of lesser of 2 evils, but no easy draws..
take ralphie byers sp?.... he flashed allen ford who won it, then put out pascal.... who the FU*K is that guy ?....beats me, but he can pull
and that seemed to be the norm with every guy in the room....all hardcore legit armwrestlers.
think....ballinger just won arnold... got put out here.... pascal is many time silver behind rustam at WAF... the real deal, things happen.
even tamblyn who owned canadian 198... placed 3rd...
i will say draws/byes... made big big difference for some guy, but thats the game, it was a tough event... in both classes...i bit a tad more than i could chew.
now...clip notes
i retract everything about crazy george.... the man can pull legit.
does he lay back in a detrimental match if he is in trouble ?...sure... he will and does, but yesterday he beat every 76er fast... i mean he was hitting to the pad... i was impressed. he has his "lock", but the guy was dangerous without it... respect to that guy.
supers...dave did his thing, the guy has a stellar attitude and is a gentleman, im glad for him.
the grippler froze up big earl in a hook...he got called on a very high pin that earl even conceded on... so it woulda been interesting to see that on play out at he endered 2 big pumps and mighta gassed who knows... but safe to say ian has made his way to a very high level.
earl gave devon all he wanted... sick match
mike gould is a party animal...he is the balls, cant say enough good things... he did everything to accomodate me and be a great host...that guy is aces.
mike bowling... he hates pulling me...he always wants to slap me initially, but he gets over it and i like mike...he likes to get hammered and dance like a freak rubbing on local skeevies just like yours truly, that is my kind of peopleplus the guy wrote a book...whoda thought, hit him up, t looks like a good read.
john milne...nice job in your match and especially on the mic
keith michel was in the house.... i hope he refs next year....no...i PRAY
devon larratt...only wants to gamble if its a sure bet for him.... but he still lost most of the time....how does that happen ?...lol
no bull, had an amazing time, my girl is already talking about where we will stay and what we will do next year when we come back, she loved the whole scene.
as usual, the whole AW community was great....not a bad apple in the house...
now, i will admit im injured, my spirit is a little broken and i gotta go heal up and lick my wounds...
that being said, i will surface when im ready and i will definately hit this event next year....and i will certainly pull the same classes just to finish whats undone and prove to myself i can...i layed it down, you guys have a year to prepare to send me home crying...til then stay healthy, im out
