I only pray that you run an actual bracket this time... For heavens sake !!! People getting byes after first round is nuts, but 4 rounds deep and byes in the losers bracket is insanity !!!

Rob are you sure you can do a Pistol squat with those LEGS ? Lol...You wouldn't think... I probably have the biggest lopsided ness of any armwrestler with arm to leg measurements. It's a genetic thing... I have had spurts working legs and lived my life as a shingle Lumper so I'd make regular trips with 100-200 lbs on my shoulder...all day every day up ladders. They are strong... Just not intimidating. I see guys doing wrist curls 3x a week to death... For years... But their forearms were inches smaller than mine out of the womb. Fact of the matter is I house all you guys if we dress drag.... Me in a short skirt gives hot b!tches leg envy.

Yall fkrs don't want none in Tetris. That's my $hit right therrr. Used to be anyway. LMAO! Great Friday night post Rob. Ain't too hard to see who has no life around this piece. If you're like me, we've come a long way.... Hahaha... My Fridays are polar opposites of what they used to be. Sometimes I think about all that sh!t and how my life seems lame now. I tell ya, nothing like doing a front handspring outta bed at 6am feeling like jack Laplane at 25 not all sh!tty from the night before praying for Gatorade and a egg mcmuffin.

After a supermatch I wanna do deep pistol squats... Charcoal sketching... Grippers for reps.... Superman push-ups... Vertical jumps... 40yd dash.... Leftover soufflé ingenuity making... Turning a pile of garbage into a functional alternative item within time guidelines.... A set of 9ball... Indian wrestle... Scrabble... Tetris... Rope climbing... Trivia....movie quote stumping... $20 challenge on who can have the most fun in a night with a $20 spot... Self haircut ting ( no mirror )... Diaper changing...
Just a few from my resume

^^^ not sure the significance any of those hold in an armwrestling match. Seems like the guys in bars who get their pride bent so they need to save it... By fighting... Or threatening to fight 99% of the time. Makes no sense... Nobody wants to fight if a guy is a better dart player or houses the local karaoke spot. Armwrestling brings this out of people.
It's a big world, in a sport filled with big middle aged athletes... From all walks of life...The odds of you being the only former boxing, wrestling... Street fighting... Sh!t talker KOing dude in the sport or on the board are mostly slim. It's unnecessary in this topic, but there are other hard dudes out there

Jim, I'm very happy for you guys... And admittedly one of the infected jealous ones, but no hate.... You guys are representing well and it's a pleasure tuning in weekly as I've partied with all of you and consider most friends long before pipe dreams of tv came to light. Again, congrats, I'm happy for you and all involved

They shoulda just left the money a mystery... Like an undisclosed wager between teams. The public could assume cross country travel... Hotels... Time ... Food...maybe a couple Gs a head... Who knows. For all they know it could be for tax returns or 5 figures... Wouldn't matter. It's like guilt, unless there is proof it's speculation, so why nail it down ?
Everyone seems to love it, but nobody can wrap their head around the money... I have to remind them of the "underground"... "Regular folk" vibe GOA is portraying and it's all smoke. They coulda done 10k and it'd been totally believable

Kevin has been around a while now. I remember him at my first events in. '04 and he was going well back then. Considering who he trains with and time invested I'm sure he has a heads up on the angles and how the game is played

I like Dave and want to give him all the props and just dues as he deserves them.
With that said there are some points to make when him or any of the guys before him were painted on another level.
Dave is on an impressive streak no doubt, but saying the only guy to power over Denis... Well... Tim peeled his hand before, Lupkes looked like he was in it power wise and they went to war.... Brzenk has beaten him a few times( the only guy to do so)... Arsen has beaten him straight up. The list is short but it isn't a gauge and the power through part isn't the real deal... Dave lined up in a high posting looping toproll like Dave Patton... Denis' hand was flopped.
Stop travis ?... He sure has, but at WAL that looked like a scary day for Dave and by judging travis looked like the dominant guy then.... And with different refs it mighta been like 5 pins.
Don... He is elite, but Lupkes absorbs his hits too fairly easy.... As well as others.
Lupkes ... Raw power, with an angle he gets beat by Marcio and bath...
Brzenk has had points of chumping all these guys on a given day... Easily at that.
Point is... I see there seems to be a level the very best guys loom around... Sometimes a guy has a tad more horsepower or is more proficient at getting his angle and hits a stretch of winning, but that doesn't mean they stand alone the pack is on the same plane and as powerful, it's just micrometers and the day.
All the bests have been shocked and toppled in their peak of condition and dominance... Every single one... Unless they pull voevoda and dip off after the big win.
Even someone as powerful as Dave got his hand cracked and in a bit of trouble with Allen ford in the overall at MGC last year.... It happens
Dave is on top, but you can't and shouldn't put the pressure on him of being way above the pack, because he will get used as a platform to catapult the next guy as Denis did for him... And in Denis' case he didn't even have to win because he was perceived as so much stronger that just making him work was a win.
I based my vote on Devon's levers and hand taking ability coupled with the times I've seen Dave lose his hand.
Respect to the guy, just being analytical

From Devon's mouth his right isn't up to snuff, and won't be for a good bit...so pointless debate today
IMO... Devon all day.
