thanks matl'e i dont know u very well but thanks for sticking up for me
you know erine when u start talking like that, thats when people get pissed off at you u act like u know every thing. im not saying that bryan is not a good armwrestler because he is but u also got to think of one of ther reasons why he is good. have u ever seen him get called for a false strat at the nebraska tourney, hmmm..... i didnt think so if they were good unified refs there such as lenorad, bill, keith, or someone like that which really know how to ref then things might be a little different. i am not a picticular fan of aaa's ready go system, or should i say "reago" but like i said he is good there in dought about that, but will he blow me away probibaly not because even two years ago it took him a bit to pin me

Matl'e, I never claimed to be an expert puller or analyst. I've simply asked some questions and stated some facts. The questions have not been answered and the facts have not been disputed. Look back through this thread and see which person has been claiming victory before the match and which person hasn't posted a single time. I've never met Ray. I'm just calling 'em like I see 'em. I've been into armwrestling since '98 but haven't pulled for over 4 years so I guess I know nothing. Bert Sugar was never in the boxing ring but is considered THE boxing historian. Gary Roberts has watched more matches in the last 3 years than anybody else in the world but I guess he's not allowed an opinion if he's never pulled in a tournament. you know erine when u start talking like that, thats when people get pissed off at you u act like u know every thing. Asking a few questions, stating a few facts, and giving my humble opinion is acting like I know everything?? The only people that seem "pissed off" are the ones that don't want to answer the questions. Are you trying to say that Brian Robling won 2nd at worlds because a few local Nebraska refs didn't call a false start on him? Or that national and world champ pullers reffing don't know how to call a match? THAT is really grasping at thin air! If Brian doesn't think he's got a match he'll take his opponent down slow to prevent injury. Bring your money. Omaha, Nebraska isn't too far to go for $500.00, is it? See you in Denver in August and Nebraska State after that. If you really think I know nothing then come and take my money. ;D I still would like you to answer my two original basic questions instead of making excuses and avoiding them.

HAHA Denise you always seem to make me smile You are def. the queen momma of this sport. Ernie its the fact that Ray comes up on this board out of no where and starts talking smack that gets me going. He nevers asks a question or talks like a sane person on this board. The only time we do hear from him is when he comes up to let the world know hes the most amazing thing since sliced bread. I personally think that Corey has shown he is pretty humble considering the talent and future he has in this sport. Not alot of people do that, and alot of people go off and win one big tourney and ask why they dont get respect. I dont see Corey ranked up there, but he isnt throwing a fit about it.

well if u want answers the answer is that no i have not beaten any of them and have only pulled two devin nad bryan which were both a long time ago. but in that same statement has ray no either he has pulled devin and maybe others im not sure of and he has lost to them too so there u have your anwsers
but what does that prove, hmmmm nothing so what if u think those people are the best, and they very might well be but what does that have to do with me armwrestling ray
lets just say ray has beat people i lost too does that mean he can beat me, no not nessarly someone told me that ray has lost to alan berget. so since i beat alan twice in rising sun does that mean i can beat ray, i dont know.
and for another fact alan had a hard match against norm devio at 2005 aaa's and since i beat him with no problem does that mean i can beat norm, i dont know. u know why, because every person is different and thats why u or anyone else can say that ray can beat me just because he might have beat someone i have lost too.
am i right i know that the rule of thumb would say that if one guy can beat someone and you can beat someone else that beats him then u can beat them all, am i right. btu thats not allways the case is it.
now i am not saying u dont know any thing ernie, and im not saying that u know everything either. so i will end with this, i am going to armwrestle those guys sometime, and weither i win or i lose i can only get better. and that my friend is what i do best is Learn.

once agian thanks matl'e u know u say it how it is, in some ways i wish people would get to know me. but the whole ranking thing is rediculious. there is no way to show a true ranking. but i like to be the unknown sometimes and come in and surprise people but thats just how i am
and like i said before i got something to prove here in this world of armwrestling. if u were to ask anyone of my friends, family, feausa, or other armwrestlers who know me, they would all say the same thing. that i put alot of time into amrwrestling and not only developing myself but also helping others to become better also. and to me that is what the sport is about.

Corey, I would like to pull you for the hell of it. I know we are only 130 miles(or so) from one another right now. Maybe when I get back from Louisiana we can set something up. I wanted to pull with you guys at the birthday party, but work came up and wasn't able too.

Corey i like your way of analyzing, different people can beat different people, that you can or can not beat. its all in the grip,power and timing! and for what i saw this weekend you have all of that down!! just keep doing what you have been doing training and pulling!! and don't get caught up in all the trash talk. prove what you can do on the table and that will prove everything!!! good job at the pro-am, Christ

Corey and Matl'e, Your last posts were both more along the lines of what most pullers are truly like and I thank you for that. No trash talk, just saying what you're goals and ideas are and then put it all out on the table. I understand that different styles make for different matches. It's a "any given Sunday" thing like in football. Anything is possible depending on the condition, preparation, and attitude of the players on a given day. Corey, I honestly don't know what you are truly capable of. I'm only going by what I've seen others do over the years, in current tournaments, and what I see in the posted results. Generally, those that talk the most don't match it on the table. There are a few exceptions. It seems that you have the passion for the sport and that will drive you to reach your goals. I must admit that I was pushing your buttons. All smack talk does is fire up your opponent. It is better to be humble and quiet. Then unleash it at the table and make your opponent eat the humble pie you've prepared for him. When he's finished eating it, thank him for the opportunity to feed him. ;D When it comes to attitude in this sport, there is no better example than the legend. Think Brzenk.

I would like to point out, as Corey's training partner and best friend, that he is only three years in to this sport. He is just beginning to develop into a "Professional" competitor. Corey is very similar to Chris Chandler in my opinion. He has absolutely no Godly right to be as strong as he is. But he is twice that strong.
He has beaten or stopped people that a person with three years in the sport has no right beating or stopping. That is what makes him so amazing. He is the future of the sport!!! When he walks out on the table and looks you in the eyes, catches your hit and then beats you so fast that it hurts tendons that you forgot you had, people take notice. That is what is happening, people are scared, and they should be. Corey is the number one Amature Arm Wrestler in the world in my opinion. He is not the number one Professional Arm Wrestler in the world.......... YET

Well put J.C.. I would have to second that. Nobody really knew who he was at the K.C Armwars with a few exceptions and he dominated there. Then he comes to the USAA Nationals and crushes guy. In my opinion we'll see at the Unifieds in Denver, and then everyone will know.

Corey wrestled exceptionally well at the Nationals. He beat some guys I didn't think he could and brought home 2 1st place titles. (Congratulations Corey!) It will be interesting to see how he does against new competition at the AAA Nationals and at Unifieds. After his performance in Indiana I wouldn't underestimate him. And yes Corey, you have blasted into the 'pro" scene. Just one bit of advice Corey... modesty speaks volumes. You have met John Brzenk, he is the man you want to pattern your attitude after, 100% class. Good luck on your pursuit of the Triple Crown! Hope to see you soon, Denise

Your guys are being too hard on Corey. Ray came on here in his usual fashion and challenged Corey, did you expect him not to stand up for himself? This is not a sport for the faint hearted and even John B will not lay down when someone does that. This kid (I say that because of how old I am) shows great sportsmanship at the events and we couldn't have asked for more. So Corey you keep standing up for yourself. ;D

thank you jc, justin, denise, and leonard i appreciate it there is a certain point in time where i can be the nice guy like i always am, but then there got to be a time when i got to say what needs to be said. truly denise i feel that i am a amateur to the sport in years i still have lots to learn theres no dought about that. epically since from the way i learned to armwrestle ( which was self taught, i learned how others pulled by studying video after video after video.) to the way i am now teaching others i have only improved.
u know thats probably one thing no one knows about me is that i was never taught how to pull, EVER. like i said before i watched videos from armtv, and i studied matches that i lost a tourneys. i would consider my self to be a originator of the sport i have a unique hit, and have developed many types of workouts and lifting exercises.
personally my goal in this sport is too: 1. one day become a world champion 2. spread the sport to as many people i can and 3. just have fun ;D
