G-Man Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Any predictions? Here’s mine: Don Underwood vs. Ian "The Grippler" Carnegie Right and Left Handed I don't know too much about "The Grippler" but I am inclined to go with Don Underwood on this, seeing how he's been pulling as of late. Tom Nelson vs. Mark MacPhail Right Handed I don't know too much about Mark MacPhail, but seeing that some thought he would be a good match for Michael Todd, I'd say this would be a close one with a slight edge to Tom Nelson. Paul Walther vs. Dave Chaffee Right Handed I have not heard of Dave Chaffee until recently when he beat Tom Taylor in an overall a few months back. This would be another good one. If the conditions are made to mimic an arm wrestling practice, I would say Paul Walther, 6-0, easily. However, given that this is an actual tournament, maybe 5-1 or 4-2 Paul? Dustin Morgan vs. Eric Roussin Left Handed I cannot call this one as I don't know enough about either competitor. Angel Cosme vs. Kyle Silito Left Handed See above. Tim Bresnan vs. John Brzenk Right Handed Does Tim Bresnan really have more victories over John Brzenk than vice versa? No doubt Tim Bresnan is a beast and knows exactly how to defeat John Brzenk by exploiting John’s weakness via his powerful toproll. However, with John’s recent performance in Europe, I would say John 6-0 or 5-1 without making it look too hard. I’d LOVE to make it out to this event myself, but I plan on competing a week before at a local event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Retarides Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 I would love to pull Robert, but I am announcing and doing brackets (tough when you run two tables lol) and I am pulling at the Arnold the following week. Why are you planning on making it out? Garrett, Tim does have a one match edge on John. John will likely be pulling another supermatch that day left handed as well but it is not set in stone. Dustin Morgan has beaten Rob V Jr. in a hook left handed ( believe once or twice) so he is no joke. Eric Roussin has a very good left hook as well. I think the puller that wins match one wins all three in this one. Kyle Siletto has some very impressive wins over Ron Klemba and Denis Dubreuill. Angel has done very well in supermatches though and should be the favorite in this one. I think this one has the potential to go all five. Paul and Dave will either be very interesting or Paul will blow him off the table. I get to train with and lift with Paul very often and he is stronger, bigger and faster than he has ever been on the table. We will be announcing 5 to 8 more supermatches soon depending on how negotiations pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypaws Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 ONCE...............because of the huge rotn pads and my forearm grazed the pad, but my forearm was straight up and in no danger of losing. EVERY other time I turned him in I beat him easily. Tough one to call between these 2, I go with Eric, he is a more polished hooker and IMO a stronger one at that. Eric will be able to set the hook . I think I'm gonna go with the Grippler, he has an awesome team and for some reason I think he will be able to catch Don. I am pretty sure Devon has been preparing him for some time for this. Tom Nelson A coin toss in Paul/ dave...I have never pulled either, but from what the people who know are saying it totally depends on what paul shows up. I think Dave could be some trouble no matter what though and wouldn't be surprised to see him win. Kyle Sillito Tim and John..............out of straps....TIM...............in em................John. This is tough to predict since they have back and forth history and know where to and where not to go with eachother and have probabally been working those areas.

I would like a rematch with UNDERWOOD right handed if he makes ILL state like he says on the 24th. Last time we pulled he beat me right but i got him left but i think i'm a little better now tech than i was then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, I think that many of these matches will be blowouts. Brzenk will blast right through Bresnan. Walther will blast through Chaffee. Nelson will win clearly over MacPhail and Jim Bryan will dominate Roussin. Don Underwood should win convincingly over the Grippler. Unless Vigeant comes in absolutely top form, the odds are definitely in Perron's favor as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsith19 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 G-Man, are you aware that Tim Bresnan has as many wins over John as John has over him (maybe even more I'm not sure)? I can see why you would think John would blast through Tim (loking at both of then at Nemiroff especially) but something about Tim's style John just doesn't know how to deal with.

G-Man Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) G-Man, are you aware that Tim Bresnan has as many wins over John as John has over him (maybe even more I'm not sure)? I am aware that Tim currently has more wins over John than the other way around. Tim beat John at the Arnold Classic and a couple times at Lake Tahoe I believe. John beat Tim at Mohegan Sun. Tim’s toproll is very difficult for John to stop. I am basing my prediction on the fact that John is looking to totally turn the tables, based in part on his disappointing supermatch performance against Devon but stellar performance a short time later at the 2008 Nemiroff World Cup.

lifesnotfair Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I could be wrong, but didn't Bresnan's latest victory over John happened at a tourney where John was pulling 198's? I think if John wants this to be 3-0, it will be. But he always seems to want to test himself in his opponent's strongest spot, so we'll see! I don't know about Jim Bryan owning Roussin g-man, Roussin doesn't seem like a slouch, I think he beat Rob V. when the latter was starting. Jim Bryan got totally dominated by James Smith in a supermatch about a year or two ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Can't say on the others but Rob will beat Perron and John will beat Bresnan. Just my predictions. I think John has come up with a way to deal with Bresnan. Perron will not be able to deal with Rob's new strength. Mighty Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsith19 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I agree John beats Tim, but I don't think it will be a cakewalk. I think Bresnan will put up a decent fight, and by the way it's best out of 5 not 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypaws Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) thanks for the vote of confidence joe, I know that I am an underdog to the people that really know about sylvain............I am pushing for an upset.

I think that John will make it look easier than it actually is because he will have been prepaired for TIM spec. I dont know what to think of the Chafee match because he is up and coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Paul Walther vs. Dave Chaffee Right HandedI have not heard of Dave Chaffee until recently when he beat Tom Taylor in an overall a few months back. This would be another good one. If the conditions are made to mimic an arm wrestling practice, I would say Paul Walther, 6-0, easily. However, given that this is an actual tournament, maybe 5-1 or 4-2 Paul? Let me update this prediction - I just spoke with a guy who said Dave Chaffee is an absolute monster - probably only beatable by a small handful of pullers in North America right now - 6-0 or 5-1, in Dave's favor.
