Is anyone going to acknowledge at this point that when I say a certain puller is reliant on WAL specs that it has merit?? was all over YouTube saying it before, and after the recent MMT match with Devon. It seemingly fell on deaf ears. Instead, while at the same time denying what I was pointing out, people seemed so eager to act as if I wasn’t giving Devon’s strength any credit for the win. When in reality they just don’t have a clue. Devon had the strength to pull the win off during all 3 MMT matches. But 2 of the latest 3 matches between those 2 were literally determined because MMT was

My thoughts exactly. Looking forward to seeing Ermes and Matt come absolutely unglued during the match. Should be fun to watch

Okay I’ll sort through this tomorrow!!!

Congrats on the gold nail movement!

Had no idea any of those matches were happening this weekend! Holy cow, thank you for posting! I guess it’s time for me to finally get a Facebook?.. sheesh! I agree with you guys on mask and ermes. And would like to point out that, like MMT, mask is another one who performs super well on mainly a WAL table. With the WAL table not a factor, it’s probable that mask will have a rough day. 72 year old Ron Bath spanked mask in a state tournament not so long ago where the tournament was not run on a WAL table. Along with 3-4 other people doing the same to him that day. No loss of stat

DO Bending double leathers 8mm rebar gold nail size 8mm rebar 3x gold nail size last one 9.5" Gold nail 10 degrees in like 10 min Cool to be able to kink it!

Ermes VS Matt I am rooting for Ermes and I think Ermes will take this easy. I can be wrong as Matt Mask was training with Devon and he is also big guy. But man what I saw from Ermes is really awesome. I'd say Ermes.

Warmup 7mm x 7" nail x 3: Done in 3/4 cordura. Easy bends but it flared up my index knuckle injury again! Training 8mm x 7" hard stainless from @Slippery Pete to 95 degrees DO. This was a surprise since I thought my DO bending had gotten weaker. Now I know my weak spot lies in the sweep and crush. Finished off with some wrist levers

Oh gosh...did I ever botch that. Thanks for the correction John.

I hope Matt smashes Ermes 6-0. I’m tired of how all the eastern europeans have trashed the western pullers during the past year. It would be so satisfying seeing Matt steam toll Ermes. However, what I want to happen and what I think will happen is not the same. I think 5-1 to Ermes. I’m not rooting for anyone in the Hutchings vs Zoloev match. I’m interested of seeing what will happen but I have no predictions or expectations. Engin vs Makarov. I hope Engin wins because he plans to retire after the match and it’ll be a good end to his career by winning this match. However, I think Mak
