silverbackgrip Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I'm a huge Wrestling fan and I also love this sport of Grip. So I've decided to host a grip competition called GripMania! Had a friend replicate the original WrestleMania logo for me (which I think turned out amazing) and I even bought GripMania.com THERE WILL BE A CHAMPIONSHIP BELT FOR 1st OVERALL UP FOR GRABS! ...and I'm not talking some flimsy, cheap belt. I'm talking a customized old school WWF high quality belt. The date I have in mind is November 5th, which falls on a Saturday. To give me an idea if this is a good date for people, please comment below if you would consider making the trip to North Jersey. The events I have in mind are 1) 20mm Block set Grippers 2) ??? 3) FBBC 2" V-Bar 4) Epic Medley In the next month I will be going through the proper channels and getting this contest sanctioned by NAGS. and since I love going over the top, trophies will be custom bottles of Jack Daniels stating 1st 2nd 3rd in each weight class. entry fee will be $20 Edited January 22, 2016 by Euclides 10 Quote BOSS OF GRIP

Eric Roussin Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Great idea! The only issue I see is that it's quite close to the International King Kong Grip Challenge, which is typically held near the end of October, and quite a few people usually compete in it. 1 Quote Major Grip Titles Won: 8x Canadian Nationals; 6x Visegrip Viking; 3x APL Worlds; 3x Armlifting Worlds; 3x North Americans; 2x Arnolds; 2x Armlifting World Super Series; 2x Cross-Canada; 1x King Kong; 1x Shaw Classic Founder of Canada Grip Sport / Co-Founder of the International King Kong Grip Challenge / Creator of The Armwrestling Archives
Cannon Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I'm interested. I would like to compete again this year if I can get my act together. The timing for this gives me a loooooooooooooong time to train. 2 Quote
Jared Goguen Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 So what’s the deal with the belt? A new one every year or does last years winner need to come back and defend or lose it. 1 Quote My YouTube channel - grip, and shop projects.
silverbackgrip Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) So what’s the deal with the belt? A new one every year or does last years winner need to come back and defend or lose it. I'll have to write something in the waiver that states the belt is on loan for a year until the next competition and that if the defending champion can't come to the next GripMania, he must vacate the Belt. so yea, it will be the same belt every contest and the winner either defends of loses it every GripMania!
