As an armwrestler that was in Oshawa and saw everything , Yes Travis won supermatch, But he finished third left handed supers and first right supers.
For a grand total of 1800 Dollars.
Devon walked out with 1800 dollars alao so i call it quite a productive dayfor both pullers.
As for TRoy and selaris tough call TRoy had to take in final match as selaris slipped in losing posistion but was awarded a normal slip tough call to male with $700 on the line. End result selarius won in straps.

Left Supers:
1st - Earl Wilson
2nd - Devon Larratt
3rd - Travis Bagent
I thought the best left handed puller to ever live would have finished higher than that. ;D

ok...here is the dealio,
The was quite honestly one of the best tournaments I have been too.
Specatator wise, the tournament was phenomenal. Great talent from every direction I was looking.
Some match ups I have only dreamed up!!!
If you had a chance to go to this tournament and passed on it then you made a mistake. It was such a fun time and I am soo glad that Mike invited me up there.
The supermatch was a definite show. The crowd was fired up and getting really into it. Regardless of the outcome Devon is a true champion and Travis gave Devon his 250 back. Thank you guys for the excitement.
Travis was caught off guard by Slvain's hook the first time. He didn't see that coming. TRavis' words were this.
"I put all my energy on the table for the supermatch and that effected me in the regular tournament. but that won't happen left handed again, I will go home and be ready for Ryan"
Also out of no where George got fired up and in the middle of the Supermatch, called Travis out for 500. You will have to watch the video tomorrow to see this action. (they ended up pulling for 200)
Regardless of what the video shows. George didn't pin Travis. You'll see the video tomorrow.
Travis pinned George. when the ref didn't call it, Travis pinned him again but still no call. (regardless of video, Vern Martel was right there by the table and he confirms it was a pin.) Of all the people who I would definitely believe, it would be Vern.
But regardless it was some great excitement for sure.
Thanks Mike
Mike also announced 20 grand for next years tournament.

Gary and others ..... Yes from where I was sitting near the table on Travis's side ... I did see a pin ..... both of George's bottom two knuckles were below the pad. Travis even had time to wink at me there! Travis hit him a second time as well ... but I could not comfirm a pin on that one...it was at that time I feel Travis give up and George pulled Travis over for a pin. It is however a referee's call to make the decision ... and those who have referee'd before know how much you can miss....when you are watching for so much at the same time. We also know .... you do not stop until the referee tells you to do so .... many of us have learned the hard way from this ruling. Travis did what he had to do .... and then went on to pull more ..... he gain respect from a lot of our pullers here in Canada and also learn to respect a few of our competitors here as well. Travis is going to have his hands full with Ryan and will feel the power of our best heavyweight in Canada. It will be great to see how many matches Gary caught on his camera ... with the two tables going .... it was hard to choose which matches to watch ... as there was a ton of them that were amazing to see. Looking forward to seeing lots of you in Vegas.... |

That is a good point Vern. Travis was not following through on his matches. You'll see the video in a bit but in his losses, it was almost as if he stopped pulling if he didn't get you on the first hit.

I wasnt there so i cant really do anything but speculate, But the thing is Travis has some Huge matches coming up, in Espy as well as vegas! With travis's speed why would he engage in a long hard fight, if someone stops him? It is way too soon till vegas, if i couldnt flash someone, who is known for 20hour matches like George, then i wouldnt chance getting sore before these upcoing events.. Just my thoughts, Travis could tell us though...
