I Agree with most all the stuff you say Rob, it is fun to argue over the 10% though.
If you don't think Mike makes the cut, then maybe you, cause nobody else has taken it yet will bet on Jerry for the match comin up March 24th? he's on your list, Mike isn't? Money talks haha.. UAL will have a very good head ref i believe.
Another thing i gotta say is you disagree with the move.. Dude I love the move. Guys gettin low, doin what it takes to WIN!!! that is what it is all about. finding the way to win. I respect that. Check this out - Awesome match this weekend between 2 top guys was kinda goin back and forth till the one dude pulled out the drop to the floor move. I am a big fan. Love ya Rob, see ya at the end of the month lol

very good then we continue!
reason i like 6 is cause after the win you can show by how much you have won.. for me that is something i always like to see. also for betting 6 is cool cause win loose tie.
i like dropping to an armbar.. its a great move. kinda been proven to get a win, wish i could do it. its not unbeatable, but it is a great move in the right hands. i also think that pushing off the pad is a nice trump to throw in against an unbalanced puller(example guy dropping into an armbar) these 2 rules are gonna play out more interesting than ever i think in the match comin up with jerry and mike.
Opinions are just that. I base my opinion of Armwars being the future of armwrestling cause i fkn love this sport. I watch it all the time. what am i looking for? matches between one guy and another. in the WAF 110kg finals with Genadi and Wagner that was an awesome match. I would love to watch it over 6 rounds. I just know what i want to see. 2 evenly matched armwrestlers going at it (the higher the skill the better) i don't want them to be injured, or have excuses or be not fresh, etc etc. This is what i want to see, and i think i am not so different form most people. So really, my argument is just based on what i think i would watch more often. there is the future.

its just my opinion.. the future will tell us who was right. no biggy. I am not proposing go back to sit down either not talking about going backwards.

I think looking to WAF as the leading organization is questionable and in my opinion incorrect. Mike has been injured for a loooonnng time.. this is nothing new. In my opinion there needs to be a further shake up of the rules - even under the ARMWARS rule system (which i believe is the best set of rules we have currently) there should be a few mods to further this sport in my opinion.. Elbow foul - your pad your foul. black and white. Break arm position- get rid of both of them (at pro level.. not amateur). Lastly - here is a big one... switch to Arm sumo table - no pads, no pin line (knuckles touch or hold off the table for 3 count). Anyways.. just proposals, but under what i believe is currently the KING format - one on one - 6 rounds - running fouls - minute break - etc.. Mike Todd is the guy to beat, like it or not.. you gotta respect the winner.

I like this list (Rob's) i would just subtract one and add 2 names. I would subtract myself (cause we are talking right arm). Like you said these names can change in 6 months.. I can't beat anyone right now. FOr a CURRENT list.. i am not on it. boo hoo lol, but i will try to get back on it, just lets keep it honest, not there today. I also think you need to have Mike Todd on that list.. no question, about making him stand up and all that - its hilarious. Just beat him. don't ask that he beat you some special way. to me that sounds pretty pathetic. Having had an arm that is fkd up - trust me... if you look at the whole picture it is not an advantage. Mike Todd is an armwrestling stud and needs to be on that list if he is not at the very top of the list (and that is actually my opinion of where he is today) I also think there are probably a few Euro guys that could be added to the list that the lack the north american exposure for us to really get a good feel for who is who, so i will just add one - Gennadi Kvikvinia - think that guy is really bad news, could likely scrap it up with a few on that list for sure. (also think Tokarev is not far off) JMO

You are correct, currently(righty) i am a fake champ... not hiding that from anybody. I won't pull right till i can't make an excuse. But... I am very restless and bored with the state of my action lefty soooo
Here's 2 opportunites for you Opitz - set me up with anybody you like lefty and i will come down.So you can prove your point - you and me can have a big ol bet. here is the one i really like though -
Me and my 14" forearm with a drug test (i fail i loose) vs You + any kids you have and any brothers you have. you decide the format, no drug test required for you or any of them. minimum 2000$ just sign a waiver before hand lol

Much respect Jerry. I really think it will be a burner. Both you guys are awesome. this is the match that EVERYBODY wants to see. really should be a fantastic match. I admit i have a gambling problem. I will put 500-1000 u.s. on Mike for the win if you or anyone else are interested. Good luck with your trainning. It will be awesome. UAL design a table that connects to the earth's core!

Binnie... don't even bother.. just be happy that you can maybe win a poll because that is all that you have the chance of winning. I will be like rocky coming into russia (just im canadian and im coming to america) after i beat you everyone will sing the canadian anthem. If i you ever think you have a chance with me i want you to go to the mirror and take a long look at yourself. I need you to realize that i am much more massive and that you have no chance.
John Milne... don't bother coming to practice tonight, Frank Dias...if you believe in this man it is in your best intrest to never have this match happen!!!
I am too explosive. right to the pad. there may be a cracking sound.
i love armwrestling.

I have decided to have a second surgurey on my right elbow. It is required for me to be able to progress the way i would like. This will happen friday and will not give me the time to heal and prepare for Travis's event in the summer.
I was honoured to be choosen, it is without a doubt the high level event to be at. I appologize to Travis i truly believed i would be ok in time. I appologize to Mike, Dave and John.. but i am sure Travis has a good back up in mind to make the event better.
