Go NFA how far have you all taken it already ? Texas , California, Florida, Georgia, and more to come I am sure ! The point I am making is this the AAA has there followers and eventually you will to depending on how well you promote your tourny ! TK I have always said you are good for the sport of AW! Anthony is very hungry and hunger is what drives a good puller as well as a promoter ! Lets see what he can do ! I remember seeing that in you a few years back !

T.K. you started your own NFA are you telling me that if it grows to what you think it will your not going to push for a bigger better Fla. States ! That would be a rediculous statement ! The Florida States used to be what it is Florida States not multiple states pulling ! Anthony if this is truly for just florida pullers you have the right to call it a florida state champion. if not there is already a Florida States ewvery December ! It has been a long time since Florida has had a director that truly promotes Florida pullers ! Kevin Johns was the best promoter in the state of florida ! I am sure he would give advice as to how to promote a tourny if you ask ! Pulling his tourny was like pulling a Nationals ! Good luck to all I will be seeing you at a tourny real soon ! IF? I WERE....I'D HELP THE ALREADY IN PROGRESS FLORIDA STATES.....THE ONE WE WE SEE EVERY DEC.....I'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED KAREN I WOULDN'T AND WILL NOT CREATE MY OWN FL STATES. T/K

Choosing to run your own state championship when there is already an established state championship running is outright disrespectful and just adds another diluted title to our sport.
I guess it just fits into the path our sport is headed... 3 Nationals, steroids, men entering women's classes, loud mouthed amatuers getting "supermatches", pro armwrestlers hanging off their competitor's arm below the table for 6 minutes, the ghost town that is female armwrestling in the US... SMH

Anthony I think its awesome you wanting to promote, you have drive and are doing some cool things for the armwrestlers in the way of awards and I give you big props on those things
Having said that, you should really consider thinking outside the box and coming up with a name that is not currently in play, calling it a state championship cannot be helping your event much, it could be hurting it more than anything as some long time supporters of the original may not show out of spite, if you wanna help florida state talk to the promoter and find out how you can. If you just wanna have a great event you don't need the fony title to do it, you need support from the armwrestlers.

thanks to all who support and understand, to others i here ya and respect your input. Please know i am not copying.. IAF is a whole differnt league, like boxing there are more than one. I have the respect for karen who has never even contacted me as well as others. what if IAF becomes the top dog? I am wrong for trying to be the best? to give the best to pullers? its just a name of a differnet league... any touney by any name is only as good as the pillers there.

I have already seen a facebook post about unifying the titles??? Are you craptin me? Your creating another title and already talking about unification??? Why not do your own thing just be better at it? Or more serving to the pullers that will get you a long way, this duplication of a title that already exists is not really getting you anywhere.
I have never understood competition among armwrestling promoters, your on the same damn team! We are too small in numbers to have all the bs that goes on in our sport!

i know i will here it from some for "giving in" but i did talk with Bill Cox and did some soul searching of my own, in no way am i giving in to TK but i am man enough to want to keep peace for the sport. I plan on wanting IAF to be the best but since alot is in works already this will be my only IAF Florida state championships. Next year i will not have it and change the namein respects to the sport, karen, and other promoters to better the sport.

Anthony you making it about me showed you still didn't get it..... As I can see clearly you and your partner have goals and its not a damn thing to do with Arm Wrestlers nor Arm Wrestling..... Your robotic answers "what can we do that benefits us all" please suggest it to you... Hmmmm.... It's just a title.....neither of you have any clue..... It's just my opinion and my post was about my friend being done wrong and seeking opinions.......and yet next year you'll change it.....here's one for the history books. I'm very disappointed..... But you're all about the Arm Wrestlers? All about the sport? Quit crying and shut up and Arm Wrestle.... Think I found the title to my next event.... Thanks guys!
