Josh... I didn't campaign for the rankings job, but it doesn't take a total armwrestling trivia nerd to look at your list... Any of em and give their head a good scratchin.
Picture this if you will....
You are driving in your favorite ride on a glorious sunny spring day... Feelin good... Lovin life. To your left you start to approach these high school kids on the side of the road jumpin up and down waving signs... Yelling "car wash!". You figure, "what the fu(k... Why not ?" You pull in park in the slotted space and right before your very eyes some over zealous kid runs over with a wash brush and starts scrubbing away at the whole winters worth of salt and sand.... Before the car gets a good rinsing!! "friendly my life "... You just got a proper sanding on your previously decent paint job... You are not happy... If you are normal you are sh!t house that what was supposed to be a car cleanin turned into a royal sh!t show! Anyone normal peels outta there after throwing out a minimal 50 stupids and curses... It's human. Does this make you an a$$hole because they were doing a good deed... For free ?... NO... You at least expected if they were gonna set up shop and run a car wash they would have a fu( kin clue... On how to wash a damn car and the 101 of the process...Being freebie... Volunteer... Doesn't matter.
Now the guy who says they would shake hands and be chill... Please stand up... Because you are full of sh!t and you may be non confrontational but I know your poor wife's ears will be ringin off the hook when you get home.
Some pop off out in the open, others put on a happy face... But we all feel the same, some aren't as fake about it

Alan, I don't know what your hang up here is, but pathetic is taking up arms for a grown up man who can answer his own questions. Furthermore... Pathetic is chiming in on why people care about things you obviously don't care about... So why chime in ?!... Pathetic Acting like all conversations without tea finger in the air and nothing but gratitude and fake worship is taboo... Pah-fu(kin- theeeeee-tick tick tick !!!!
Now, I kindly ask you to buzz off joshes and my a$$ and he will answer my questions... Fly fly fly.
Josh, I definitely disagree... And you haven't touched on the me vs todd match?? I mean... I did win that match and he was number 1... Sooo? You ranking people over guys who have a history just because you ASSUME that puller A is so much better now while puller B with the winning record is living in a cave is ridiculous. Facts are facts... I shouldn't have to chase Steve... I beat him, now he goes and gets some wind on guys other than me... Who never pulled me... And he jumps over me... Am I hearing this better ?... Because in your OPINION he is better now... When we have real results to go by. It should be Steve green who has to chase my a$$ to get my spot as I actually beat him... You know ... HAND TO PAD... Classic armwrasslin... Not conjured up wins against a fu(kin superb matrix of random hair balls that add up to an elevated ranking. Your opinion should be minimal.
Yes chad should jump in wherever the fu( k chad feels... He has been slaying that whole list for how long now ?... How many guys have beat him ?... Ever ?.... The poor fu(kin guy takes a min to change a diaper and catch a nap during family life and now he has to PROVE his spot ?!.... I'm off base and someone clap in my ear if I'm cracked up... But what the fu(k has chad been doing for near 30 years. ?!.... Apparently it wasn't armwrestling and winning against the best.
There is a better way than this , it is laughable ...
Oh... To Alan... Just look at this post like one of those magic eye posters... You know the one in the docs office where you cross your eyes and a bunch of dots looks like a dragon jumping off the page... Right... Stare at this and picture pleases..thank yous...and big fu (kin dildos between every third word. ....my good sir

I don't see any personal attacks on here.
I have politely asked josh to explain his reasons for the list the way it is for a long time now... And he answers everyone else but avoids answering me... Cool. When I see plain old black and white facts... It is sheer stupidity and making an opinion against facts is just looking for an issue. For instance in my examples... I beat todd straight up... Josh never answered why I stayed ranked under... Can't be because of the previous events because I didn't get that nod when the same happened to me.
Simon over chad by a few spots... When last meeting chad beat simon easy.
Chase over Clark... Same as above.
These aren't speculations, these people have pulled and there are factual bases.... And not just these few... I can break down every weight class... It's all off.
Why care you ask ? That's a dumb question, because why armwrestle then ?... No money... No real fame yet... Just a lot of training, pain, time, money and injuries.... But we keep going because we love it... And with that passion respect for what you accomplish amongst your peers who understand this is probably something we all want to some degree. When someone makes a list that seems so off it feels like a snub.
On the flip note, rankings could nowadays be a big deal... Given money events and big tv shows... Suppose we want to start scouring for sponsors... And the only legit NA based rankings is the in the hook rankings... Well then my friend being dropped a few places could be a dilemma of getting a sponsor and opportunity or not... Sounds crazy but given the past years trajectory I could be spot on.
"Give thanks"... Nope... I don't thank people for sub par work ... In any trade. Josh wanted this job because he is an armwrestling enthusiast .... He isn't strapped to a chair whipped into submission. If you throw your name in the hat to do a job... Do it right .., thanking someone for mucking up a situation is leaning toward a warped mindset I won't conform to.

... A tad more here... Just to add to the hilarity
You have chase jump how many spots... Even over Clark... Who beats chase. Simon is over chad silvers ?... When silvers beat Selearis and simon easy in their last encounters... Lol...
I could go on for days... You are cooked buddy

How the fu(k am I off the 90kg rankings I pulled up a class because of ual standards, but I was lighter than Clark and ford... Just because I pulled a different class doesn't move me out of a ranked class. Furthermore... I smoked beat Steve green 5-1 in our only meeting... So Josh you have a coy little way of dodging my direct questions... And it shows bias which means you shouldn't be doing the rankings. When I got dropped down for my losses last year nobody wanted to hear circumstances... They took the " you put your arm up" stance... Win is a win. And for a bit ford and hutchings were over me.... Now I beat todd in our last meet and beat ford at MGC... So by my math I should be number 1.... Fill me in here... Because your rankings are continually on the spiral downhill since Eric passed them over.

You gotta think... Dons hit has been on point with everyone else... And I'm betting next week it's on with everyone else until someone is as strong as him lines up with him. This is just my school of thought. My theory is different from most in that I'm not a big speed believer. I have seen too many lightning guys and pulled way too many really fast guys ( and I'm "slow") that looked like they were in slo-mo against certain pullers. I asked... Was their hit off that once or was it my hunch that being stronger in the line up will negate that hit ? When I saw it repeated with the same pairings or the guy who went from fast to slow... Then fast again when against someone else.... Well, I drew my own conclusions.
I'm a believer in getting position first, but a stronger guy with the right line up and angles can almost always get to his spot even with slower reaction time
Don is super dangerous and unfortunately the nature of an advantaged position can make a match look lopsided when it can be very evenly matched... But we know this. The public on the other hand believes that they were playing 2 different games.

Underwood has a big hit. I was surprised he never seemed to get the hit last night on GOA. It seemed like Travis may have been starting early in at least two of those matches, but it was really hard to tell. Don has a lightning hit, no doubt, but travis was too much... It had nothing to do with dons timing. This is why i say hitting and speed are myths. When you pull someone who can flat out contain your hit and overpower you... You suddenly look very slow. Don't know much about the way backers... I'd say from what I've seen Travis Don Marcio Cadorette Voevoda Espy looked lightning on some vids ,

I'll say this... I've done my share of poppin off and letting my ego get bruised up and in the cross fire knocked guys... Even Craig. Him and I have talked and sorted the differences but it's funny as time goes by the stuff that seemed so important now seems minuscule in the big picture.
Point, after watching GOA last night, I have a very big and real respect for Craig as a man... Beyond his obvious capabilities as a puller... He has very admirable qualities and is an incredible athlete.

^^^ I'd say the $10 you spent on gas and the bottle of wine I'm assuming you bought from your new sponsor was a better bang for your buck if you want to get technical .... You did buy the wine right ?... You didn't just go in there and shake them down for money did you ?... That would've a very classless image you would cast upon the community buddy boy.
