George gets plenty of love and respect from me, he has proven to be the man to beat and there is no denying his win loss record, there may be no better in the sport.
Since I am not a technical puller his style does not concern me, meaning I think about it a great deal but I don't think there is anything wrong with it. If John chose to catch everyone in a hook and hold them till they quit or fouled out no one would complain, George is using the same principle different style.
In the end though to steal a line from Rocky III, he is just man, I need to go be more man than him.
Is Gould holding an event this year? Any suggestions on what event to hit up north? This year will be busy for me so the few events I can hit I really need to make them count.

Simon, that's why I said "except for a select few". Mike's tournament is in the spring and won't be the big cash tournament that he usually has. I'm not sure what they have planned for the fall. You can check with Joey Costello. He'll know what's going on in Ontario.

Does anyone have the full results for the heavyweight class? A couple of local boys were there and I was wondering how they did.

I knew that Rick I just didn't want anyone to think my intent to find a place to pull him was out of disrespect for the man, to the contrary actually.

Second strongest and second coolest... I do have a picture of you Simon where you have a pair of sunglasses on and you have a pair tucked into the colar of your shirt. Now that takes some serious cool skills to pull off  Dye VS Chandler this year for sure, but only them fresh and in a best of 5. Not many guys will be able to stand up to Brandon fresh for fresh. |

When I am out with you Matle, I have to take it up a notch to compete...
Dye has a good shot against Chandler style wise, he pulls in a compact style like I do vs. Chandler who is a longer drag puller, I just watched their match again today, a stronger more prepared Dye could get it done, he cannot be light against Chandler though.
Chandler is a bad boy and he is only going to get stronger, the more he top rolls the tougher he is going to get in this sport, by the time he is in his late 20's if he stays with this he will be one of the toughest 198's anywhere.

George has pulled two of my training partners and got flashed 3 out of 3 times.one of them is below;  it is more possible to feel the real world once you get out of your back yard but still George got beat 4 times in 2 WAF championships that were held in N.America.i mean it is too far to travel for all the bests in the world  for example Ukraine = Rustam Babayev was not in 80kg 2003 WAF Canada.but still George took 4. place.the top twp finishers of Russian nationals were not in Canada in 80kg either. |

Simon,trust me that the guys that you have been struggling with,would need both hands to pull against Rustam.but do not take my words as discouragement but as motivation.why dont you go to Senec hand in Slovakia on march 24.?i do not think that you will need visa,your man will be there so you can have an idea about reality of your goals i may be wrong (here i dont believe in what i say)but i would love you to prove me to be wrong  |

Heck I wish I were that cool, but as we all know it I am about as cool as Miles Davis at a rap concert.
Simon I like your observation on both Dye and Chandler. Dye needs the weight when he pulls him and Chandler is only going to get freakier. Lets just hope that both choose to pull for years to come. I would love to see them both become the best or even have great battles for years to come. I believe that both have a few years of getting the ticks out of thier games though. I only hope that I have that type of ability someday.

The matches were amazing today to say the least. Just experienced the after party..now I am going to start editing this finals footage. I would have already done so but this afternoon and this evening I was filming for someone else...strongman, body building and bench press. After having watched all of those sports and getting behind the scenes footage...you realized those sports too have that entire culture of people that follow it...BUT ARMWRESTLING...is the best.
I was falling asleep filming this other stuff. Glad I have the job I got.
I am gonna get to work but first I wanted to mention a point regarding John. I spoke to him this evening and asked about the turnaround from yesterday to today...and his words were..."yesterday I just didn't feel like pulling"...today I felt good. mentally was there.
You guys are not the only ones talking about Crazy George...EVERYBODY AT THE ARNOLDS is also and something pretty cool may be happening that will quench all the crazy George armwrestling you could ever want.
Will announce later.
Ciao
Gary

Engin styles make fights and the only person I have struggled with at 176 this year in a real event was Cobra's free handed hit and Rustam does not have Cobra's hand, hit, or skill outside. Cobra also gave Bryan Johnson all he could handle shortly after he took second at the WAF event.
This Senec event is a bit impending and my schedule will not allow for it, I looked at some flights and with the time and flight changes I would miss 4 days to go there and that is not doable right now, though I would love to pull him just to see how I could do with him inside, but it will have to be another time and place. Now that I am on the east coast there should be more opportunity for me to travel to the European events.

Simon,did you not have some inside dog fights lately(maybe one of them was with Chandler when he pulled two classes)? i must tell you that if you believe that Chandler can even slow Rustam down for a moment then you are mistaking.as i told you before that take my words as motivation even though it is not my intention.have you seen Selerais vs Golemanov vendetta?Golemanov won 6-0 with in and outside moves.have you seen Rustam vs Golemanov vendetta?Rustam won 6-0 with 5 inside and one outside moves in the last match to satisfy his ego.you probably can travel to Zloty this year,i will be looking forward to see pulling Rustam.anyways,i wish you the best. Stojan Golemanov vs Michael Selerais; armpower.net/ Stojan Golemanov vs Rustam Babayev (the match looks tough on picture but took about one second) armpower.net/ another match with inside move this time; armpower.net/  |

by the way,do not take my words personal please,since i feel the same way about any puller under 189 pounds in this world against Rustam and Ruslan inside with right hand.Liliev looks only possible challenger who has chance against them but with outside only.

for example Ukraine = Rustam Babayev was not in 80kg 2003 WAF Canada.but still George took 4. place.the top twp finishers of Russian nationals were not in Canada in 80kg either.
