NOT SHALLOW...SMART...Get the money while its there...If and when others get a chance for it, they too will jump for the CASH...COME ON!!!!!
Its the same thing people have said about John over the years. That all he does is go in money tournaments and not Nats or Worlds... WELL what does John have to prove? NOTHING...NO Travis is no John, but if someone is dangling money in front of his nose to go to Poland to pull the best,THEN WHY NOT GO!!!!!
Whenever there is a money tournament everybody ( I'm not singling out anyone ) talks about going, then they back out. SOMETIMES because "certain " pullers will go and they don't have a chance... Just like this Vegas meet, Everyone wants extra classes, so more classe are added. NOW LETS SEE WHO GOES AND HOW MANY ARE IN EACH CLASS, or are people just jawing!!!! I say JAWING!!!!!! But the excuses wiill be flowing!!!!!!
TRAVIS....GET YOURS BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your right about the classes in Vegas. They added a class to make 5 right and left, if the armwrestlers don't show then going back to 4 classes right and left has to be discussed.

Christian, No objection about anyone making money . Im all for it.
But to put down a WAF title and the the way fellow Americans think was un called for.
I can spend money easily but I have my world title metal hangin here forever.
Also John doesnt make those kind of statements, unlike my fellow americans who like titles.
Just my opinion. No big deal , it was just Travis expressing himself

your right but when you come on here and here talk of 20 of the best europeans coming, that might scare those on the fence

Guy, if Euopreans scare people on the fence, then they shouldn't talk about coming anyway..The only way you get better is pulling better, or supposed better then you. I do think that people are hoping that the Europeans will come.

Travis: Don't ever call Guy Lasorsa a hater because it's not so. He's just a chicken.
Guy Lasorsa: Your gold medal from worlds at a $1.50 will probably get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
MAYBE
Their crap's expensive.
Until this espn thing brings high profile sponsorship $, and more interest from the general public for the sport, we will all continue to be "weekend warriors."
So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Crackhead

once i was invited to mexico,when i won they paid me 3000dollars,how many world title can i buy with that??none of course.money can be more important to some people,but even if u had a million dollar,you cant buy a world title.
Guy,the worldchampionship medal that hangs on your wall is the highest point that one armwrestler can reach!!!
money is important for our physical side,but what makes us ourselves is not only ourfleshes.material things are more important to ppl who are the servants of their flesh.a small gift from someone i love is more important to me than an expensive gift from someone that idont really like.
i would like to compete pro events to cover my expenses too,a real world title is the thing that makes me so happy spiritually.no body says that one shouldnt go to pro events,its not even the subject of this thread.the subject is how you can get aworld title.so we dont need to leave the subject just make certain ppl happy.

Ok Pete yes Im scared your right Engin I agree, money would be great to pump into armwrestling NO doubt.. I said my thoughts on world metals and titles. Christian, I dont quite agree 100% because why would they add a fifth class? Why so more would come, correct? And why would more come? Because the talent gets spread 20% with a fifth class or more opportunity to place correct? No add 15 europeans best and that takes from those who were on the fence before. Personally let the best come this is fine with me.. But If i lose to someone I think is on something extra special I may have to break out the ice pick

i would buy Cvetan's air plane ticket just to do my best to beat him in a tournament.its my satisfaction which i cant get with my money.when i won my first WAF world title i was 55kg-121 pound,then i won 60kg-132pound WAF title,then 65kg-143pound WAF title,then i won WAF 70kg-154 WAF titles 5 times,now i can make 154s anytime i want,but my next goal is winning a WAF title in 75kg-165pound class.i won 154s WAF titles easily last time,and my government pays me when i win but i just dont care.my friends from my team call me stupid for not pulling in 154s and for not making money easier.i lost at the last europeans and i must take the chance of losing to beat Cvetan this time.my desire of being the best is much important than money even almost everyone thinks that i have nothing to prove.i lost to Cvetan,so i have something to prove to myself.John Brzenk has nothing to prove but im not Brzenk.
once i read on the ArmBender magazine,Cobra says,"I HATE LOSING MORE THAN I LOVE WINNING".it has been my spirit too,some ppl just cant accept losing.this is why Cobra got upset when Cvetan beat Babaev,because Cobra wanted to do something that no body could.this is why he is the best,because his spirit is a spirit of a true champion,which you cant get by money.of course that he would like to make money as he deserves for he is a top puller.but he doesnt win because of money,he makes money because of his champion nature.winning in armwrestling is not the most important thing in the life but this s an armwrestling board and anything else would be an off topic subject.
