Just finished watching the Mohegan Sun "Best Damn" and the show certainly turned out awesome. Dave and I would like to thank FSN, all the competitors, referees, bracket scorekeepers and all who were involved in making this possible. The ladies competition was exceptional. The men's .... packed with excitement. John and Travis are great commentators for the sport, explaining in detail the various techniques involved with armwrestling. This has been the best TV coverage of armwrestling so far.

Loved the commentary and the professionalism of Travis this time around. The only drawback was it looked like a repeat of the plaza and the "Non" arm wrestlers in the room with us got bored and left half way through. They did however know who each puller was from the last FSN show but they also knew who was going to win. I think if Craig T...Cobra...Chad...Selearus (At his 189 weight)...Ryden or a few other guys were involved ,it may have kept their attention a little better. Even if they have to stay at he heavy class for whatever reason maybe bring in a new face like Randall or Dean. As an arm wrestler though I liked it and loved how Travis really showed class this time around. Travis you better be careful or you might get some folks liking you  Is the pull at the plaza going to be the same "Core" guys again? |

I thought the show was awesome, I was there live also and there was definately alot of intensity. Travis was great, all the pullers where great. Everyone has there own personality, everyone gets fired up in there own way..... Travis likes to trash talk...Micheal Todd screams wwooooo! in a hook .... Tom Nelson smacked the table and told MTodd he should have stayed in the 98's..... Toddzilla jumps all over the place, thought he was going to do a roundoff off the table, Selearis stares you down, Mary Mc..... gets pretty loud and fired up........and some just pulled.....its all good. Travis is a showman and enjoys the stage, and he's a bad ass...people who don't know the sport know who he is. Good for him, great for armwrestling. Wait a minute....did the guy from fsn say clean up on aisle 5 about Bongard hahahahahahahaha Manager of a hardware store...hahahaha The guy is like big game hunter, armwrestling champion....lol ... to most sports nuts , he is the definition of what having a ballbag is all about ..... lol My friends who dont armwrestle all loved the show......The whole thing was outstanding....and makes me want to train harder..... .

Show was awesome all the way around.
Chris said " his friends non armwrestlers left because " I think if Craig T...Cobra...Chad...Selearus (At his 189 weight)...Ryden or a few other guys were involved ,it may have kept their attention a little better. Even if they have to stay at he heavy class for whatever reason maybe bring in a new face like Randall or Dean. """
Dont quite understand that analogy unless these Non armwrestlers have some connection with the people you mentioned

watched the show last night as well and also thought it was great. Travis looks bigger every time I see him! Congrats to all, and it was also nice to see that Eric put in the hard work to be able to pull off the win in the left hand HWT class. With Travis as large as he was I didn't think it would be possible. Jake pulled great and I think will do even better next time. a 2nd and 3rd are great, but I expect him to make a come back in the left handed class with a little more hard training under his belt. |

Guy, The people who were with me were the same guys who watched the plaza pull. Same guys winning...however for first time viewers it would have been interesting. I think new guys...new weights...more interesting. Having the girls on was pretty cool.... Travis looked unreal right handed as did Eric left...It would have been interesting to me to have seen one of the old faces from Vegas pull Eric...Christian.... One other thing that was note worthy..John B trained hard for this one and man did it show...."The best puller ever" showed my friends why everyone calls him that. The people with me also may have been bored just because of the company they were with (Me)....you never know.... |
