At the end of the video Michael Todd makes “the boldest statement ever made by any armwrestler“: ” I genuinely believe, on even given day, like if you tell me I will armwrestle in 3 months from this day, the Michael Todd that shows up on that day beats the best version of any armwrestler who ever lived. That good armwrestler I think I am.” […] ” I believe the strongest version of Voevoda ever, does not beat me now. I believe the strongest version of Richard Lupkes ever, does not beat me right now. And we can just keep going, right: Goodridge, Scott Norton, Cleve Dean, John Brzenk, people I look up to, I believe I evolved that much, so that is my belief.
In the Mind of the “Monster” Michael Todd – in deep discussion with Arm Wars’ Neil Pickup
[embedplusvideo height=”480″ width=”853″ standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/y1_Z77iEmBY?fs=1″ vars=”ytid=y1_Z77iEmBY&width=853&height=480&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=1&autoplay=0&react=0&chapters=¬es=” id=”ep3286″ /]
I wonder if this rule also applies to John Brzenk, considering that he is a UAL contracted athlete, and he will compete at A1 Russian Open 2014. At previous A1 Russian Open tournaments (2012, 2013) all athletes wore A1 shirts.
All contracted athletes are allowed to compete in ANY open tournaments (non invitational, non one on one or round robin events) so long as they are wearing an official UAL Jersey or Shirt during the entire event and competition. Any athletes not complying will be in breach of contract. We are opening the rules up but kindly ask that you support the league supporting you. Any questions please feel free to Re-read your contracts or call me directly.
Thanks,
Robert Drenk
_______________________________
Bob,
The shirt is a requirement for a reason, to be honest I’d rather UAL athletes compete in UAL events only but I’m being flexible until our TV series is launched allowing them to compete in outside events only if they stick to the uniform policy in their contracts.
Thanks _______________________________
Jesse,
Because Armwars is an affiliate that will not broadcast in the US! My agreement with Neil is just that. _______________________________
All the more reason it doesn’t work for UAL athletes. No UAL athletes can be filmed by any other production company for any other TV series.
Source ► Robert Drenk: Ryan Clark vs Brandon Ellsessor after a controversial loss Ryan took to Allen Allen Ford you can see Allen and Ryan getting into it after Ryan’s win. Later in the day the rematch will make for some solid action.
Our primary focus will be on our up and coming TV series, meaning the UAL 7 tournament will be postponed until further notice.
The UAL is hosting the USAF Nationals on June 26th-28th @ Harrah’s, Reno and may have a few surprise attractions.
It’s important to have folks book early to lock in the great $59 rate. *****Quantities are limited*****
We would like to thank our loyal athletes and supporters. Effective IMMEDIATELY we’re welcoming any athlete (signed or not) to participate in any UAL tournament with money pay-outs at the same level as the contracted athletes. However the UMU’s for Championship Belts and Major Prize Money which is now being scheduled for National Television will be limited to signed UAL Athletes only! In addition any UAL contracted athlete can now compete in any open event with the exception of any round robin, supermatch or ultimate matchup. If you would like to compete in a Super Match, round robin, special invitational only event or Ultimate Match Up outside of the UAL you must get prior approval from UAL Management and represent UAL by wearing it’s branded shirt at the specified event. UAL athletes will also be allowed with pre approval to compete in The Armwars Super Series in Europe! We realize that our negotiations have taken longer than expected. UAL wants to ensure sustainability for our great Sport and the new objective is to create a win-win for all armwrestlers as we explode the Sport and the Ultimate Armwrestling League!
