I have no idea how you can say that. #1 bad camera angle #2 obstructed view How on earth can you say from that video that it wasn't a pin? You can only say that if you really really don't want it to be so. If you knew anything about me you would not make that statement. Referees make mistakes all the time. It is called human error, there is no such thing as a perfect refereed event. I should know that and have made my own share of mistakes. When you do make a mistake admit it and try to do better next time through better eye movement, better reaction, better mechanics and better positioning. First of all, I think you and virtually all refs are great. Arm wrestling has to be one of the most difficult sports to ref, I try it in practice and do horribly. Also I'm not saying this was a horrible call, I just think it was a little too close to call at that point as Devons hand was still nice and high and tight and I would love to see what the next 5-10 seconds would have been like. My second post was just in response to you saying that refs know for sure, which you have just acknowledged isn't always the case. I'm not sure why you said "If you knew anything about me you would not make that statement" I never said anything about you at all. I never said that the referee knew for sure, I said that he was and is the only one who would know because none of us can tell squat from that video and no one was closer than him. Also wanting to see the match continue has nothing to do with making a call, further more where his hand is makes no difference.....where was his wrist? That is the ultimate question and I suspect that is what the call was made on. Parallel pins are wrist to finger tips. Anyway sorry for seeming pissy, refereeing from video's always irritate me especially when they are not good video with unobstructed views and good angles.....sorry.

Spot on Leonard. Assumptions don't carry weight. If you don't think angles alter look into the green mile and research how they changed Michael Clark Duncan's appearance. Devon is a class act with absolutely nothing to prove. But with all due respect if Dave can pin Denis and tie him up enough to make him withdraw from an event he has the power to pin Devon.

Yep don't know Big Brandon, he has been kind of under the radar but props to the big man for pulling with the big boy's. From all of the video's that I have watched look like the big man was right there with the top names. Good Job to Big Frank Hurst also, top notch dude.
