He feels that a questionable rule was used and was intentionally not applied in an equitable manner, now I was not there to witness it but the controversy over the application of said rule was wide spread and discussed at length on the message board and at virtually every event I have been to since then. George’s contention at the Arnold was that given a puller of relative size to himself that is forced to grip up in a fair starting position that no one of that size under those terms can pin him.
I heard that Craig lost on fouls to George at the last GNC qualifier how did those matches really go?

You guys want to see some rankings that might stir you up a little? Check out armpower.net. YIKES  I mean what are those rankings based on? Certainly not head to head matchups. Mike Selearis was ranked like 13th  Take a look at the superheavies while you are there too. GUH No disrespect to Igor or anything, but there are some pullers in North America that would be placed near the top of those lists. Where's Ron Bath? Mike Todd? Matt Girdner? What about Sylvain Perron? Crazy George? Craig Tullier? Chad Silvers? I just took a glance at them, you guys can check them out too if you would like. I hope Igor reconsiders some of his choices when he comes out with his next set of rankings. |

I have now seen George lose (pinned) twice to opponents that he had stopped..
Once by Chad Silvers at the GNC last year and now Craig was able to pin George this weekend, and every puller that wants to beat George should buy a tape.....
It looked to me to be a PERFECT motion, with perfect angles, power, and my HATS off to CRAIG TULLIER...
It nice to know that I am not the only puller that chose to master his craft...
P.S. George is BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve, go to swedisharmwrestling.com and you'll see the link to it under his updates column. Christian: Of course, I do not know all of the pullers on that list but I do know that Matt Girdner and Ron Bath are stronger than most of them.  |

Definately and don't forget about other pullers like Bongard, Hutchings, Sinks, Luke Reimer, Devon Laratt. There are so many pullers from this side of the world that could be at or near the top of that list I would probably not be able to name them all. I am sure Igor will come around. |
