John Brzenk: The UAL and I have worked out an agreement that is a win/win for both parties

John Brzenk – facebook: ” I agreed to delete my last thread.
The UAL and I have worked out an agreement that is a win/win for both parties.
Thank you all for the support ! “
John Brzenk: ” I sincerely wish them well “
John Brzenk – facebook: ” I would like to publicly announce that I am not a UAL contracted athlete … My contract expired August 31 2014 and although there was a renewal clause I did not receive this notice until outside of the original contract year.
It would seem this point needs to be argued in court per UAL. “
Cameron Clarke: ” So John does this mean you will be qualifying for the WAL in May….. “
John Brzenk: ” And because of this fact … He claims he is taking legal action because it’s causing him damage …. Guess I’m going to court ! “

UPDATE:

Eric Wolfe: ” After a suit is filed just set up a donations website. . Watch it fill up quickly… This is going to be interesting. . Its like a chess move gone wrong.. will Drenk just let John walk?.. leading the way for so many others to do the same.. or will he be driven by Pride and put up a legal fight that will untimely lead to the demise of UAL. It seams like both choices are not favorable to UAL.. Ok there is a 3rd choice. . Rip up all those fucken bullshit contracts. . Be proactive in letting everyone pull where they want.. and still put on great tournaments.. UAL can still have ultimate match ups between the worlds greatest pullers.. This 3rd option is so clear and its a win win for everyone. . Will Drenk make the right choice? “
John Brzenk: ” Eric, he has publicly and privately changed the rules of contract allowing people to pull when he says it’s ok that it’s hard to know what’s going on.
There were two other proposals from him yesterday. The first was to have WAL and ESPN pay him to release me and then the second option was to have me pay back all money I ever earned from UAL since 2010 …
I don’t think so ! “

Dave Chaffee - elbow foul at WAL 100 CITY EDINBORO QUALIFIER

VIDEOS: Dave Chaffee at WAL 100 CITY EDINBORO QUALIFIER

I noticed the elbow foul when I made the capture from the video.  was clearly stronger, and I’m sure he wouldn’t have had a problem with restarting the match, if WAL referees (Bart Wood in this case) would be more careful at elbows.
 is getting stronger with the left arm.

WAL SMASHES RATINGS EXPECTATIONS, GAINS ESPN DATES

” Chicago, Ill. – Arm-wrestling’s mainstream TV debut came roaring out of the gates on Feb. 13, as the World Armwrestling League premiered to an expectation-smashing audience.

Debuting to nearly 300,000 viewers, WAL set new viewership benchmarks for the sports network in its Friday night TV slot, besting averages by more than 30 percent in key adult and men’s demos. The network also granted the league three additional air dates, including two on ESPN and one on ESPN 2.

The 2014 WAL Championships from New Orleans will now re-air on Saturday, March 21 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 28 at 10 p.m. on ESPN, and again on May 22 at 11 p.m. on ESPN2. See a summary of airtimes HERE.

“This is an incredible start for the league and a strong indicator that people across the country can recognize the power, technique and dedication it takes to excel at this sport, and they want to see more,” said WAL Commissioner Steve Kaplan. “And we haven’t even scratched the surface. We have seven more episodes and hundreds of events still to come.”

Kaplan was referring to WAL’s expansive “100 Events in 100 Cities” qualifier series set to launch Feb. 28 and conclude when the TV cameras return to capture the three Regional and four weight class Championships that will make up the televised 2015 season.

In all, the league will award more than $500,000 in prize money between now and July – an unprecedented amount for the sport.

The WAL Championship was filmed in New Orleans and followed the day-long battles that lead to the crowning of eight weight class champions. The show, produced by IMG Productions, got a slightly delayed start Feb. 13 due to a live boxing coverage overrun.

But the late start did little to dim viewership, as audiences turned out in droves to witness the debut of professional arm wrestling on the world’s leading network for sports.

“Fans just got a taste of what arm-wrestling is all about,” said WAL heavyweight champion Devon Larratt. “It’s totally grass-roots, and to see these everyday competitors rise to the top in front of so many people is something worth watching.”
