someone locked my thread for some reason.Travis,i always felt you as a friend.and i was so happy to see your rise in armwrestling.i was happy when you won your world title,which is the king of the titles since it was super heavyweight.
i believe that all this humiliating (about WAF titles) started to take attention on some pro matches.supermatches are great but no one needed to throw mud to the WAF titles to make those make up titles look more important on ppl's eyes.this is disrespectfulness.this s not professionalism,but being a dirty player.
again just to inform you,i participated world championships till 98 by selling some furniture and borrowing money from other ppl.just because our government started to support us it doesnt mean that i do this sport for money.
the kid who doesnt win the kickball game?!?!?! please Travis,list everything you won in armwrestling and i list what i won.to me you are just a beginner,not an amateur but a beginner for being a top puller.you are one of the top puller now,but i will call you a legend when you stay there for ten years.i have been at top for 10 years,and it doesnt make me lose a kickball game just because im not part of this humiliating the rest who are not serving your understanding.
its great that you and certain ppl use eachother to make some money,but you dont have to play with minds by trying to make them think that what you do is the center of the world.its not and it will never be.
why would i pull against some monsters that never get tested for steroids and weighs 20pound heavier than me?since 1993 i have had enough with these eastern blockers in my weight class.just to inform you,i had been asking for a supermatch against babaev and gashevski but i guess i wasnt the one who were scared.im not scared of anyone who is at my weight and clean.i dont think there are many people who beat Russians as many times as i,Gashevski and Germanus beat.so try to respect this.
im happy to win where all the countries' top represanters compete eachother to make their national anthem played front of the all other countries and hold the flag at the top.this helps for a peaceful world,because countries needs to compete eachother somehow and the sports are the best way to do this.much better than the wars for sure.and everytime i won a WAF title and hold my flag at the top i get so emotional.money makes my physical life easier but i also carry a spirit that doesnt get satisfied by money.i know you see me like a stupid but believe me that im not.you just cant understand this.you won only one world title and you are already satisfied with it.i won 8 WAF titles but im still looking for more.because every year new and strong guys come and i feel challenged.i feel like i must prove that im STILL the best.i lose time to time but doesnt get discouraged.every year i get so excited to see Russian guys in my class.
i wish you the best of luck.if one day you cant perform as good as you do now and be thrown away by people who treats you like a king now,remember that i will value the things that you did in the sport.
