well im new to the sport of armw. movie was ahhh ok..dont know this travis bagent but..no running water from kindergarten til 9th grade? come on so for 10 years you and ur family $hit in a bucket and threw it out the window?ur dad had bar with video games and a pooltable i would think the bar had plumbing or did the customers use a bucket also?I mean how old is he looks like hes in his twentys no indoor plumbing in the late 80s early 90s not likely.jus say ur poor .i was but we could afford indoor plumbing.i mean a water bill is what 30 bucks a month in 2010.the voevoda stuff,my brother walked in during the gay russian retreat he was on when the 2 grown men were chasing eachother..still trying to convince my brother i wasnt watching gay russian porn but thats jus how i saw it....Mcfearless..out Travis, you've been a member since May 2010 and have 11 posts...Just a little advice about the board.... You can NOT be honest, especially brutally on the board.... You have to praise EVERYONE, SAY how WONDERFUL everyone, AND everything is in this wonderful "sport" of ours.... You have to say how everyone is a best buddy of yours, even if you met someone with a handshake and said "hello", and they said, "hello" back. You have to say how GREAT every puller is, even if its their 1st novice meet. Now I know Travis Bagent...( SEE WHAT I MEAN?....LOL) pretty well. have traveled and roomed with him all over the US and Canada...We also invited each other to our weddings. I do NOT know how much of his growing up is true, we've talked about our lives extensively...Just remember. its a "FILM".. When the cameras r on, so is Travis. Now as far as the segment on Foxsports....You think he could be honest about this "sport" ( you will eventually see what I mean)?...HE played up ,and had to....... Travis is, oh boy I can't believe I am about to say this, a GREAT GUY.....ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE his "character."..AND A GREAT FAMILY MAN....regardless of what this "film", portrayed him to be.....I for one, who was basically was at the start of this "film", was NOT impressed......BUT I will leave as that, for as I will be jumped all over for saying so. See, as you will eventually find out, not many of the "vets" post much anymore, FOR VARIOUS reasons, being honest is one of them, UNLESS THEY REALLY NEED TO... Good luck in this "sport."

I guess i would call myself one of the non posting vets.....but I agree with What Christian has said I will always call Christian and Travis my friends both in and out of amrestling...and many others whether their opinions make them poular or not pulling John was good but John's real life story was better.... thats what some of us who had the pleasure to know him were trying to say..... its not negativity .......its an opinion.......should be ok to state one as long as it is non malicious Travis wont share a room with me anymore I snore to loud ;D

I finally watched Pulling John too. Not bad, quite interesting. If I take it as a documentary - great. But as a movie it's a little bit boring. I think there should have been less talking and more action. Last ten minutes were very well done.

Got my dvd about 2 hours ago and just finished watching it...I'm deeply touched. "Pulling John" is a beautiful and inspiring film...I already saw and knew the results of all matches in this film, but it was like watching matches for the first time and like I've never heard of their stories. Pulling John is the memorable documentary to armwrestlers, but more important than that, it shows people future-oriented life of three men. one critique,,,,as other members said before, it could have been longer.

If you look closely...even Alexy was uncomfortable during the toast. That little dog was loving it though...he was having a ball getting thrown on the roof and tossed around....not abuse at all for those concerned. "gay russian retreat he was on when the 2 grown men were chasing eachother" Still cracking up about that line...holy crap
