Veren has a great list. It all depends on what people weigh
Vern: I was going to put you on my list, but I know you are not pulling until you are healthy again. I hope all is going well with that, and you will be on the table soon!

Christian and vern,
I think hearing from some of these pullers themselfs, would be Great as they know who their Main competition is! I know John, Cobra, Terzi, Bonguard, Abbott ect.. would have the best insight.. I hope to hear from them also. Thanks Sol

Sol,
How about this idea ? what ever the number of pullers you are going to invite lets say eight per weight class.( Just an arbitrary number ) Make six spots invitation only by your choice or popular vote however you do it.
Now all the other guys that are not clear cut to be invited make an event or supermatch or wildcard event whatever you want to call it and 1st and 2nd win a chance to be in the mix and fill the last two spots with the big dogs. or hold two qualifiers one in east and one in west and each winner gets a spot
if you like this idea count me in as one of the people who will show up at the event to try and win a spot in the big show !!! As I allready spoke to a few other B++ pullers who feel the same way

Christian ... Thanks for your vote of confidence in the 165 pound class ... but those are pretty heavy hitter's for this guy at this point. I fair not to bad but...I know my limits as well. I am getting better though ... no more blood dialysis! I was pretty humbled by this kidney infection but I am on the mend. I lost "a lot" of strength, stamina and energy from the whole ordeal. Remember those patches that were at the Reno World Wristwrestling event. Well I was in much need of getting my energy back so I have been using the energy patches ... and its working. I have made big gains in the last few weeks and my guys here that I train with say that I am back .... certainly no 100% but getting there. I am working hard to try and be a good force to compete against once again....and I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now ;D Sol... You are right .. it would be good to hear from some of the guys in those classes ... they could honestly say who some of their toughest matches would be against. As far as myself ... I will have a tough enough time trying to work my way back up through the ranks again in my own 70kg class. I will definately support your event by attending though...and too see those super matches.  |

I like what Chris said about the wildcard spot. It gives puller's the chance to move up the ranks, And show that they might be worth an invite next year.  |

Chris and Steve,
You know that is one of the best ideas i have heard. As i said i would have more info soon, as who will all be here, But this is the problem, I dont know ifi can get the two other Qualifing events (East..West)to happen. We put everything we can into this to make it exciting. I really like this idea though. I want TEN in each, I figured maybe Top Eight from here, then try to get like Terzi, Rustam ect.. to cap it off at Ten! No matter on who finally is on the card, LOOK AT ALL the ones that are not, Those are the ones that i thought would pull on "The Undercard" so to say, and then they would surely earn the spot in the next one. What do you think of this Chris, could someone put on a Tourny where you are at, and maybe one of the west pullers could do the Same..Then i take Those top two!! There is an Open class in the Event here, like last time..(That's when i first saw Anthony D'altonia, from Canada) and with the other pullers that came to see the Showdown, they would stack the open class with Major talent, and then like i said they would earn the spots for the next one..What do you think? Thank Guy's Sincerely Sol

Sol,
What if you just pick one east & west cost tourn. that are allready going to be held no matter what org. just as long as we know they will have a good turn out. Then you could just post the winner of each contest and invite them.
just an idea

Sol,
I agree that Jake Abbott should be in the 198 class. Got to give the local guy some support too. ;D

I think that Idea is a very good one also Chris.
have one on the east one west then meet or just take the top from each
This gives me a chance to go from a D rating to a C then B- and maybe a B++ exciting ;D

Steve and Guy..
Jacob is more comfortable at 210 llbs , but he would surely make the weight, for major events.
I like the idea of maybe taking current Event winners in these two classes, that we could put into the showdown. I would find out which tourny's they would be, then let everyone know, then that would be a great way to get the Best of the B+++ guys! I still hope to get some more Names from "The Legends" too! Other than Vegas, what tournys are coming that would Draw Big Guns that we should look at? Thanks

I had Kenny Hughes name come up many times, but even under the 165. class.. Kenny pulled at 198 at WWC, could he make the 165?

I’m up for pulling another Show Down in Chehalis. I had a great time last year Sol.
The area, climate, and spectators couldn’t have been better.
Let me know what kind of date you are talking about.
It will take me at least a month to make 198 lb without killing myself.
I’m sure I can get Kevin talked into coming …I know he wants to pull Jacob.
And me when I’m 198.
See you all in Vegas…
Hoping there is some truth to the rumor that Klimenko and a few of the other Russians will make the trip.
As big Matt would say…Vegas is our house…so please travel safely and bring it !
