Those are my tapes you fat bastard and they're still sitting on top of your TV I bet. Give YOU the tapes back, you're letting people borrow my tapes I got ripped off on and you want the tapes back. DAMN!!!! your hatred runs deep. With that being said, the quality was so poor on the 2001 national tapes I deduced that Stevie Wonder must have edited them. And I think I paid 90 bucks for them.
Cripes

Funny You guys bring up Steve Stanaway..He Blasted me with bad calls at TENNESSEE STATE about a week and a half ago...By Far the worst reffing i have ever came across..Acted more like a drill Sargent Than a reff..

Steve Stanaway has been serving armwrestling for a long time.i personally do not have any problem with him but i am still upset about it since my elbow can not be healthy ever again.i do not want to be misunderstood,no disrespect meant from my side to Steve.i am sure that he did what he believed to be right,i have no intention on stoning him.i am sure that he has done positive things too,my point was that sometimes certain mistakes can not be fixed forever.

Steve was a great ref... Maybe not now, but he was back in the day. Poor fellow

Just so I am understood. I do not know Steve personally so I will offer no comment on his intent when making calls or his character off of the table. BUT I have never thought he was a good ref. Shane is right....He acts more like a drill sargent than an impartial ref. This is just my opinion.

Cripes Mr. Retarides, You paid a total of $90, check #246 dated 8/24/01, and ordered 3 tapes from the 2000 AAA Nationals and 3 tapes from the 2001 AAA Nationals. Your cost for the 2001 Stevie Wonder edited tapes were $45. No one purposely set out to "rip you off" so, your choice - I'll put a check in the mail to you as soon as you to provide me your address, or I'll reimburse you at the Get a Grip. Let me know.

If the call was made Rob would have received a restart. It doesn't matter if he could have pulled him back or not. Steve Stanaway is a no nonsense quality ref. Whenever he is on the table I am very comfortable with concentrating on my opponent. It becomes a problem when you have a ref that is so bad or dishonest that you worry about him more than the guy your pulling. If you are a ref and you read Bob Browns quote of "Never leave the call up to the ref" it should embarrass you that this is the general consensus of all pullers. It is sad that we all have to feel this way because of the rampant incompetence that plagues our sport. Right now I can only think of about 8 ref's which are at a level that would be acceptable in most mainstream sports. I think Chad's non-call was regrettable but Bill is a great ref and that was an exception to his norm. When I went to pull Joe L most of my camps worries were over the ref's assigned and how they could screw up the pull. When you watch the match our worries over Tim B's incompetence was justified. Tim Bresnin makes Steve Stanaway look like a God. Tim shows no respect for pullers on the table and his level of skill is about as good as a blind man with a few chromosomes missing. Nothing against him...I just think he's a dickhead.

What about my compensation? I have been watching those tapes for years and have had to get correctioal lenses because of it. I think I should be reimbursed for all of the pairs of glasses I have had to purchase due to the poor quality of those tapes. If you need my address, call me as to I do not wish to post it on here for fear of death threats from Leonard and Denise followers.
Call me woman!!!!!

My brother Jason and I went in halves on the same 2001 Nationals tapes.
I watched 75% of the tape then shut it off....disgusted. They were much more useful the way Tom Hanks used vhs tapes in the movie Cast Away ....as rope. ;D

MOST but certainly not all (I can recall 2 times that he won fair, there MIGHT be 1 more....LOL) my matches with Travis.....LOL.... And most were when everyone thought his B.S. was cute, until he started his B.S. with everyone else... This includes ALL associations I've pulled him in.

Karen, I just spoke with my newly aquired legal team and they have informed me that they can prove that my declining state of vision is solely due to the poor video that I have watched for the past 6 years and they hold you entirely responsible for all of my vision bills and care that I have had to endure these past few years. They have found the company that produced the video and they have said that you were happy with the final product and that you did not care if the video was unviewable due to the fact that you needed the money so badly to cover future event costs. I will be forwarding your phone number and address to them so that they can summon you to appear in court to rectify this situation without haste. Your eyes have not had the same damage done to them as mine have had, so you can not use that as a possible defense. This continuos lack of concern for my vision will not be tolersted any longer.
One would also come to the conclusion that Bill Collins is also suffering from the same problem for the simple fact that it has affected his visual judgemnet. Example, the match between Rob and Chad.
If his vision was not destroyed by his viewing of those tapes maybe he would have seen the foul during that match.
Bill, call me, my law team can help you too.

James I bought them too . They still cost to produce. Beat the big guys butt while he is on his way to his front door after checking the mail. This is the best time to catch him distracted. Enter the home and reclaim your property. I will bond you out provided you have collateral. They are still worth something regardless of quality. Shane > Steve is misunderstood by many. Was he wearing his glasses? You know the black horn rim ones. If not there is no possible way you could deduce from this one encounter that he dislikes you . It would be more apparent if he just told you that you were clown shoes. He really likes everyone and he is trying to do his best and he does quite well . I didnt see any complaints year before last at Get A Grip. Hes from Virginia .... cut him some slack. Engin the wisdom is with you. In 1985 I broke my elbow pulling in a meet with steve to my left. I am sure he didnt see the elbow come up in rage because as most refs do he was fixated on the hands at first because I was fixing to get a pin. I guess the sound of the bones breaking didnt register when I looked at him and he said he made no call. This is when I did what we all do and said ok but im through and just lowered my arm and walked away quietly. My only blame is that I waited for 22 years to correct it. I am not sure if I will ever know that pressing strength I had at the time ever again but who knows. I know you wont give up and neither shall I. Matle I agree. is there no place for the people who got us here? Your sympathy dualy noted. Steve being used as a target here shouldnt even be an item. he is like Rodney Dangerfield apparently. Bob . dually noted on the comment. We all have opinions and while Steve wasnt maybe the best referee in the world you know he didnt really claim to be. He was here long enough to be the head referee and I am sure you will give him that respect. Karen > Nobody told me there were Stevie Wonder edited tapes from 2001. I feel I am not a favorite of the great queen of armwrestling anymore. I have to see about reupping my minion subscription. Chris tell us how you really feel about Tim! Pete you blind bastard! No body will ever let you ref when you get old unless you wear your glasses now. BTW great post. Kurt! You screwed up! the last 25% of those tapes was perfect Finally as of when I read these post Shane> I will see you at Erics Practice I think? none of this is serious. I just felt like ranting a little with meaningless banter. Still weighing out the possibilities of Get A Grip this year. this message was approved by bad draw and is being plastered in this message board in promotion of the Cobra Classic 2007. It is in classice forum style
