Look I know 2 years in the sport doesn't qualify me as an expert on this subject so I would like to poes a few questions then sit back and here your responses. I personally love the supermatches their full of excitment and drama.plus it's a great Show! I wish to have such a chance! evrytime I ask my teammates who they think I should have a match with it's followed buy "Thats a good match up for you but you'll have to be willing to put up some big bucks for that" So my question is this is their no room for supermatches without big bets. I travell 1 1/2 hours roughly 158km for every practice I go to. No events I go to are ever Close so I put alot of money aside just to armwrestl weekly. Do I know have to give hundreds of dollars to people just so i can show them that I'm one of the fastest improving armwrestler around. Will no one take a chance and pull for free or is that to much to lose on an unknown like me!  I'll sit back and take the jabs! Grippler Out! |

I agree with you. You should not have to put up a dime for a supermatch. If two people truly want to pull against each other in a 3-of-5 match they should be allowed to do it and I think most tournament directors would welcome it.
If the person you want to armwrestle is far away you should probably try to set something up in their area. You will have to shell out travel $ but won't have to dig into your pocket just to armwrestle (with the exception of an entry fee).
Up until recently that's what armwrestlers did. If they wanted to test themselves against someone they found out where the person would be competing next and would go to that tournament. Granted they didn't get a one-on-one match but they could at least get a shot at them during the tournament or on the practice table.

I think if you travel to them it should be cheap...I know guys here who would pull for 100 bucks.
How much do you weigh?

Well to the first question. I`m 310lbs but I look 260 or so So people tell me. Will at this point any heaytweight that want`s to pull someone new shy of the best in the world I mean I live in a fictitious world called Gripplerville but on occasion I enter the real world, I would like to say that Tim Breasnan, Christian Binie, are right their. Please do not take offence to this request it`s simply that a request.
I saw Tim at the Battle of the Cappital and yes he had a supermatch with Devon that day but he lost to others in the round roubin that I play with. and since then I`ve woundered what if? At that time I had 1 month experince. no I have not been to to many Events but maybe 8 or so. But I have placed top three in almost everyone and ontario has Very good heavyweights. My best win came this weekend against Mike Gould who in my opinion is a much better heavyweight than myself. I placed third at provincials In a class that had Mike Gould, Rob Gram, Rick Hidelbreike, Mike Bossy, Alexandro Degeys, and other good heaveis. But it`s just a matter of time. Weekly I have been improving and training everystyle that I can think off.
I know that many off you out their will think So what Pal I`ve beat... Stop their your right who cares you havent pulled me! and buy this time next week I`ll be better than today so catch me now so maybe you can say`"I used to beat him back when"
Grippler out!

Tim Bresnan might be at the Biker's Event this coming weekend in Laconia, NH. I believe that Eric Roussin has been there before. Maybe Tim will post an answer on here if he is going or not.
