Respect the game. What does that mean?

[Ty Kissner]

Engin I agree with you on the money issue my friend however there is nothing humilating about beating 10-15 guys for a $1500 dollar purse . If you really think about it 1500 dollars for what maybe two hours of actually pulling on the table maybe even less time than that turns out to be not a bad catch at all. Where else can you make that kinda cash its like your makin $750/hour I dunno about the rest of you guys but I'd commit to a job thats payin me $750/hour.

Back to the respect thing I truly beleive it is our intention to respect all the pullers we face, however some people react differently in the heat of the moment. Now I'm sure if Eric W would have punched travis maybe it would felt good at the time but I'll place a huge bet he would have regretted it an hour afterwards.

As for the Hype issue Its up to us as pullers and promters to Hype up the sport as much as possible in order for mainstream to accept armwrestling. Now we don't have to go WWE but a little sound and lighting maybe even some intros would go along way. We definately should stay away from crude shock value stuff, But I think we're all forgetting the real reason we compete and thats to feed egos, cause theres no better feeling than beating your fellow man no matter how humble you appear on the outside and if you happen to disrespect a fellow puller at least be a man about it and admit you did something wrong and possibly summon the courage to offer an apology no matter how much you dislike somebody.

IT TAKES A BIGGER PERSON TO ADMIT WHEN THE'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG AS OPPOSED TO BRUSHING IT OFF AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPENED.

It just my two cents.

The answer to question why no other states, is because that is really what I meant. It was only to those like yourself and few others that know me fairly well. That would say " Here we go again" when they read that and/or roll the eyes

if i meant exactly what you spin the statement too, dont you think based on the story of the strides I see being made out there may have included SC

Gut not to cause an agrument and maybe I'm being a little nieve but just because some pullers are making huge strides in a short amount of time it doesn't mean what your hinting at. Maybe these guys are just busting their @$$ES and training really hard or maybe I am a little nieve.

Thats N.Y., N.J., CO, W. VA, now S.C., who are you accusing?

Come on, Guy, you are DYING to say who you "THINK" is "on".

[Ty Kissner]

Sorry I meant GUY not gut.

With all this juice talk and subtle hints................

Straight up fellers I'll be the first one to state I'm "on"
So what I take a little Winstrol to lose weight and drop from 245 pounds to 220 pounds so I can pull 220's and not be the lightest guy in super heavyweights at every tournament I go to. Yeah I shred weight using winstrol and produce some lean muscle mass but by no means am I a juice monkey thats using steriods to become a better armwrestler as armwrestling is only one of many sports i participate in.

Now I know i read a lot of u guys look down on juice users and thats fine but if youu wanna look down on me
because I use it to lose weight so be it I just hope you wont be so critical and judgemental in the future because if you judge someone based on what their using for supplementation and not the kind of person they are then you know what it speaks volumes on the kind of people you are... anyways I know I've made a lot of friends on this board I just hope they'll continue to be friends after they read this post.. Think and say what you wan't your free to it but at least I'm being honest.
