the winner of 154s in Vegas!

[Joe Bacca]

I seen RJ beat Craig & win the GNC a few years ago, I think 2001?

I appreciate the vote of confidence Chris, thank you very much, the Vegas event like the Arnold will swing a great deal on the brackets, who has to deal with whom first, styles make fights and it really depends on who shows, I like my chances in both events…

Now assuming no Eastern Europeans come, you could see Engin, Martel, Thomas, Soliwada, Henerichs, RJ, Bair, Dutra, Plaster, Craig Sanders, Rivas, McGraw, and many more, without question someone that people may think will finish in the top will be out in 2, that is just how ugly the classes are going to be in Vegas.

The results of the Arnold may tell the tale of Vegas.

Thomas!

Unless Engin pulls 54's, It will still be a battle.

Could go either way, No offence Engin, I still remember Ohio State from a couple of years ago, You two had a war!

Good luck to all!
Rick

[enginterzi]

i didnt have a war with Thomas,i flashed him in an eye blink,then i let it go.but ref didnt call,i had disadvantage but still beat him.he himself confesses that it was a quick pin,because his hand felt it very good!

[leonard]

You quick guys take note of this. Hit and hold especially to the head referee side. The down side ref should have no excuses in missing a call.

[enginterzi]

ok Leonard,i will beat him in Vegas and hold him till he asks me to quit.

[leonard]

I am training the referee's on a world level to grab the hands at the end of the match so that the competitors know that the match is over. At this event all of the referee's are using USAA rules and they are some of the best in the country. You are one of the fastest competitors that I have known and you have power to back it up. I am looking forward to refereeing this event. ;D

[Rick Firsich]

Engin, You let go, you dirty dog! Just kidding.

You see now Leanord is going to watch you like a hawk! Carefull what you post!

What I saw was a pretty tough battle back and forth in the strap. I know you are the man so you have nothing to prove to me! I'm sure you will be the man to beat at what ever weight you deside to pull.

Butter fingers!

Good luck,
Rick

[enginterzi]

Rick,believe me that if i knew that the ref may not catch that i pin Thomas so easily,i would have held him there on the pad till they say its over.when i stopped pulling he already gained an advantage but didnt help him.right after the tourney i have pulled him many times and you can ask him how it was ;)also my elbow is not as bad as it was when i pulled him in ohio.im sure your comments made things tougher for him about Vegas

there is nothing wrong with Leonard watching me like a hawk,im not a cheater as all know.i have been watched by hawks all my life as a foreigner.so i dont mind.

Leonard,i personally dont have any doubt of the fairness in your tourney,and im sure i wont be disappointed.

[Rick Firsich]

Engin,

I know your not a cheat, I missed the first hit between you two, thats how fast you are!!

I'm glad your elbow is getting better.

Good luck.

Rick

[Joe Bacca]

Engin, here is the time RJ beat everyone...

also I want you to see Vepkhia kicking ass when he was not even working out, he competed out of shape, beating jason & chadd...

[enginterzi]

Harry,i have seen those videos before.in fact i have competed so many tournament with Vephkia since 1994 when you guys didnt even know about who he was.i know he is a great puller.i wish you had chance to see Rustam,then you would realise the difference.

[enginterzi]

i also saw on another tape that Kenny Hughes beats him in the final by raising his elbow only 4 inches:)

[enginterzi]

if im not mistaking RJ beat Tullier in 2001 and 2002 harley tournaments too.i saw the match between them in 2001 harley and RJ flashed Tullier easily.

[Joe Bacca]

So what's your prediction on Craig T. vs Mike S. this month, we keep hearing how much stronger Craig is now?
