[Mike West]

I think Sonny should be farther up the list, but not sure where.
Guess I'll just have to start at the bottom and work my way up

[Jeremy Plaster]

Yes, Sonny should be above both Bill and Scott Ballinger IMHO

[Jeremy Plaster]

Plus Sterling beats Bill just as much as bill beats him if not more.

[Josh Handeland]

I originally put Scott Ballinger above Sonny because Scott beat him at the Harley Pull. I know Sonny did better than Scott at the ROTN last weekend but I am going to have to watch the videos once they are up on armtv before I change the rankings. Sterling is strong, he and Bill went 1-1 at Illinois States in January but I ranked Bill higher because he got a win on Razor at the Arnolds, have Sterling and Bill pulled each other this year besides at IL States? If not... maybe a rematch this year at IL states will occur. Good luck Mike!

[Alan Berget]

Plus head to head comes first in a seeding criteria.

[Mike West]

Seems like I've only pulled healthy and 100% for a couple months the last 3 years, can't wait to get back near 100% and start them off on the list ;D

[Mike West]

Oh, I have beaten Tony Villa last 2 times we've pulled left, if that counts for anything

[Josh Handeland]

I dunno... this is getting tough. I didn't know that you'd beaten Tony, Mike. How long ago was this? I can't remember off the top of my head who beat you at the Harley Pull, but I remember that Ryan Clark placed higher than you lefty, and Tony beat Ryan at Unified's. Doing a quick google search I see that he placed above you at the 2007 Unified Nationals but you placed above him at the AAA nationals and those are the most recent results that I found.

[Mike West]

It was the last 2 years at AAA nationals, only time I've pulled him last couple years

[Mike West]

Scratch that it was last year at AAA nationals and this year at Unifieds

[Josh Handeland]

If I take Tony off and put you at #10... then I'd have to take you off and out Shane Vazquez at spot #10 for beating you at the S IN Challenge... do you think Shane should take Tony's place???

Your right looked really good beating Bart Wood, however... do you know if Bart has beaten any of the guys on the top 10 right hand list I have?

[Mike West]

Josh, you don't need to take Tony off the list, my left is very inconsistent, not to take anything away from Shane, but I really hadn't even planned on pulling my own tourney other than my match with Bart, wasn't too concerned with beating anyone else, unless I would have pulled my brother Terry, that one would have been much different, he'd been trash talking for a month at the bowling alley how bad he was gonna beat me

[Shane Vasquez]

Keep the list as is!!! Where will Tony be next?

[Josh Handeland]

I haven't changed it. I have no idea where Tony will be.
