i think ur doing an amazing job eric. You have the ideal personality to objectively submit ranking updates, and to deal with narrow minded people and inane comments.

Eric's one of the few guys that never has any emotion in his responses. It just confirms my theory as to why he's so tough. He's a d**n cyborg. I'm on to you Eric. Look how nervous he acts when you bring that up to him.

...I just think that... * all the "experienced" pullers live West of Belleville  ....(but did hell-of-a-job nominating Rob as their spokesman) and... * if you have an In the Hook profile it makes you pull 20% better  and... * everyone is afraid to pull Rob & lose their ranking  ....ohhh wait...nevermind...that CAN'T happen...he's NOT from Belleville  and... * Eric Ruossin uses inthehook.com to Jedi mind trick armwrestlers...(he probly doesn't even think arm wrestling is a real sport)  last but NOT least... * they should enforce: age limit....you must be 21-26 years old... or be Italian or German...maybe even Swiss & blonde... or be named Alexy...........I mean Milne   .....is too late to add compete in SPEED-OS!?!?!?!? ;D ;D ;D |

Hey Jason, I did see your post. I'm just a little confused as I've never done a supermatch. Maybe someone with some supermatch experience could help me out here. What happens when a challenge isn't accepted? Who's job is it to arrange a supermatch? I'm not sure what the proper proceedure is for accepting and setting up matches. I said I believe certain people are ranked higher than they should be. You are not one of these people. My plan is to prove this by challenging these pullers to a supermatch. I've already challenged Jay Riehle to a supermatch and now you and Daylan Thomas are challenging me? My understanding is that the lower ranked puller challenges the higher ranked puller, not the other way around. Thanks for the interest but I'll pass on your offer until I'm ranked higher than you. If I am successful and I pass you on the rankings, then I will guarantee you will be the next match (if you're still interested). Or, we could always pull at a practice if you just want to see how we match-up. I do however believe that Daylan is one of these people that is ranked too high. Here are a few reasons why; I've pulled him twice (right handed) and beaten him twice. I've pulled five tournaments since January but haven't had a single match with him. I haven't pulled him in years. I know he's been training and improving, but has he improved enough to beat me? He is ranked four places higher than me on the left and seven places higher on the right. Until he beats me I will have some doubts. I still armwrestle at the same level I always have. I've seen many people train and pass me like Eric Roussin, Brian Tamblyn and Joe Gould. I'm always the first to tell anyone that the people that train deserve to win. I was planning on having a match with Jay (to give my shoulder time to heal). It didn't look like a match with Jay was going to happen, so I didn't book the day off work. I will not be attending the tournament next weekend, but I am interested in pulling Daylan at a later date.

Rob, I think some of the animosity came out when you said there were several people above you who didn't belong there. When you said that it gets danders up. I have pulled you and Daylon in the past year. I have not beaten Daylon and correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think I have lost to you yet, either arm. Am I stronger than you, NO. You kill me in a hook, but haven't managed to get me there. I have tried everything short of shooting that Daylon son of a ***** but a win on him eludes me.
To be honest I think Daylon is right where he should be. Usually the lower competitor challeges the higher competitor (with respect), but I think in this case you made several people think you thought they didnt deserve their ranking so they were willing to give you a shot since you were so heated. I agree I dont think Jay should have been ranked above you. It happens. They are not perfect but after attending a crap load of tourneys the past year, I am pretty sure the shuffle would not change greatly. Thats the point. Are you better than the one above you, possibly. Are you 4 places out for sure? Questionalbe. Personally at this time I dont like challenge matches, for me. Looking above me in the rankings I see only a squeak of a possibility for advancement. So I am ROUGHLY where I should be, (Give or take), dont take it soooo serious to the point of anger. Mellow out, have a cold one, train hard, and when you beat one of those above you, or get healthy and want to challenge one above you, let her fly!!!! Its all good, Its all Arm Wrestling!!! No conspiracy.

I should have figured you have always been a talker, but I guess whenever you feel you are ready to talk about where you should be and then actually do something about it then you just let me know okay.
I will touch on one thing that if anything is B.S in this topic is your fact on why I shouldn't be ranked ahead of you " Daylan has not beaten me twice the two times we armwrestled years ago" what does match's years ago have to do with rankings now not a F##ken thing unlike you I have been training, I attend tournaments and one smaller but probably pretty impacting factor in why you are where you are and why I am where I am is that and brace yourself I COMPETE AND WIN TOURNAMENTS!!!!
You know I really don't want to come off as a bad guy but don't talk unless you are 100% ready to walk!!! So instead of complaining about the way things are do something about it because you might just get more then you are asking for by just bitching!!!

Daylan, I heard you're getting stronger, bigtime. I noticed that you're getting funnier, too...
