what happened to travis left handed?? good job winning the right hand class!! christ

[Joe Bacca]

So who won how much $$$

Giorgi is asking how did Crazy G get injured & did he pull travis before or after injury...

final thought... pay $50 entry, get chance to win $$$ unlike some other comps...

[enginterzi]

crazy George challenged Travis after travis beat devon in the super matches.travis was some tired from set ups against devon.him george went to strap travis pinned george in a second but i dont know why they didnt call it match then he pinned him again but they didnt call again,so travis quit pulling.crazy george got hurt by travis and lost to selearis at the quarter final match and decided to not pull rest of the matches.what george did was impressive because when travis pinned him travis' wrist got bended back.

[enginterzi]

travis hurt his left shoulder while he was pulling right hand super matches against devon.i know this because he told me that before left hand competetion started.and he lost to perron and devon with left arm.i also lost to pat and selerais in 187 left hand class.what happened against selerais was a very unfair start,in the semi final i and pat pulled almost a minute match and he won,so i took 4.,i almost lost my class after that match:)

[Andrew Fournier]

Engin, Congratulations.
I think it is awesome to see you traveling around winning tourneys in the US as the tension builds up to the Vegas showdown!!

[CHRISTIAN BINNIE]

Left shoulder injury...HMMMMMMMM

[Mark Zalepa]

I am sure Mike would like to thank everyone that went to his tournament. It was a great tournament for surprises. Travis finishing third in the left arm. Barb beating Joyce in a long match in their first pull. George thinking he could beat Travis. All in all it was a good day and I am sure next year will be bigger. I hope everyone made it home ok and is was good to see everybody.

[Jeff King]

WOW! Yesterday was the biggest tournament Mike has had so far and probably the biggest tournament Canada has ever had! The quality of pullers in every class was loaded. All over Canada (Ont., NS, NB, BC, QUE.), the U.S. and Turkey. The Devon-Travis super matches were the main event everyone came to see but I think there were many in the actual tournament that could be super matches of their own.

Armtv was there and if you weren't there. (very few weren't!) or if you were there and want to see it again you will be able to see it all on the armwrestling.tv site

[enginterzi]

thx Andrew,after i won against Vern i was happy because he s a great puller but my hapiness ended so quickly after i found out that Cobra s pulling 154s in vegas:(

[Jeremy Plaster]

ouch!

[Vern Martel]

Engin ......

You see my prediction was right....you are the man to beat! It was great to pull you and spend time getting to know you a lot more. I was amazed at your arm ... you have no wrist...its just hand then a thick forearm. Your training is far superior to that of mine....but getting paid to train would be a healthy incentive for myself as well to get more serious about it. I hope your upset stomach is better now and you can focus on the Vegas event.... my money is on you!

Thanks for pulling me after as well....there is no weakness in your arm anywhere ;D You made very quick work of putting me down .... thanks for leaving me an arm left than I can still be at home here now to work on. Your power is crazy dude! As much as I powered my way though the top Canadian's from the 154 and 165 classes.... you made simple work of my arm putting it down. Those that have pulled me know what I can do at the table to some ....but.... it is nothing compared to what they are going to feel against you.

Yes we heard about Cobra in our class at Vegas....and I noticed he has not responded yet. This will make our class that much tougher indeed....but not an easy one for anyone who might decide to test it out. With the caliper of competitors in this class...draws will definately play a factor in the outcome.

Enjoy your stay in North America and look forward to seeing you in Vegas

..... your friend in the North..... Vern Martel

[Bad Draw Rhodes]

I am pulling 154

[Vern Martel]

Cobra

..... you are making Engin a very happy man....and the rest of us in the class ... well ... lets just say ... working out just got that much more serious. Your a bad man at any weight but I remember you at 154 before .... WoW!
It will be a pleasure to pull against you and see you doing what you do best!

It sounds like a great event, many congratulations to everyone. Great to hear that both Vern and Engin are pulling well, Vegas will be quite an event.

Cobra I knew that you would make 154, check the bottom sentence.

Simon said:

You are right about how the brackets will dictate this one to some extent Engin, any match up could be the end of one puller or another regardless of where he should have finished. No matter the extent of who shows or not this will be a very tough class and I am guessing that some other surprises may yet slither into this class as well
