mightyjoe Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Does anyone know what's the most money given away at a Grip Competition? If so, which contest was it and when. How much total prize money? Thanks! Mighty Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 As far as cash it had to have been Michigan Grip Champs in 2007. Don Larkin was paying 50 bucks to anyone that could bend of his widowmakers and he didn't limit to one and I think there was a couple hundred or for whoever won the bending event. If you want to use prizes as far as cash value; I'd guess BBB3 or BBB4, the prize lists were incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I think the Mike the Mighty Destroyer offered ten big ones ($10,000) but the events favoured himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the $50 I got for bending one of his infamous spikes helped pay for most of my cost to get out there and back. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Gillingham Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I won $600 for the Ironmind Steel Finger's Challenge in St. Louis, in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerHouse Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Although is isn't really a grip comp but didn't there use to be a $500 reward for being the first to close the MM5 and MM6?? Pretty sure I read that on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lipinski Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 If the MM6 gripper was allowed to be at a certain contest as a contest gripper, and someone else were to close it, I would consider tossing a hundred or two their way. In fact, if people were interested at all at closing a big gripper for money, I might be interested in providing them an opportunity in May.

mobsterone Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Sounds interesting and May is traditionally the time of the British. I also realized it's taking about 2 months a level. So Nov was MM2, Jan (hopefully) MM3, March MM4 (again) and May would be MM5?? Edited December 15, 2008 by mobsterone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lipinski Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Steve, I was just throwing the MM thing out there, I don't know (and I doubt) Wannagrip would let it fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Bob, if you have another idea in mind I'd still be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
