[@MiUnited]

Years will pass and Engin will be known to future generations as the godfather of armwrestling

[@Lagia7]

I love what Engin says at the end about the amateur spirit. Everything should be professional and smart in business aspects etc. but the pure love for the sport should always stay

[@Lagia7]

One thing that I wish was addressed more in these mainstream talks though is the rules. Armwrestling clearly still has an issue with that, and we should prioritize that too

[@narendragandhi2435]

I miss wal when the crowd was more involved

[@HandelandJ]

@@narendragandhi2435you know that crowd was paid actors? They paid people to sit in the stands

[@ermeriodsassperini]

@narendragandhi2435 me to! They tried it at EvW, but for some reason, they stopped. Maybe they stopped it because it was Devon idea! 😆

[@ermeriodsassperini]

@LagiaArm I wouldn't put too much stock in what Engin has to say. He is always trying to create some kind of conflict to make the fights more interesting. Then he complains if Devon goes overboard. Lol!!! I think deep inside he knows that's the only way for the sport to get recognition is through these types of antics. I also believe he gets pressured from other competitors for allowing these things to happen. It's a double-edged sword.

[@TheLowHandToproll]

There will never be a better arm Wrestling announcer than Neil Pickup

[@mamaloves8995]

Absolutely!..

[@ermeriodsassperini]

@@TheLowHandToproll definitely!

[@ermeriodsassperini]

@@TheLowHandToproll though he's terrible at interviewing non-english speakers. Even the translators have a hard time translating what he says.

[@CoolPunko]

It would be incredible to watch Neil Pickup announcing matches at Madison Square Garden, on mainstream TV. I grew up watching armwrestling videos on the internet, and it would be so cool to see that happen.

[@Andrew-vt2wq]

Engin thank you for everything you did for the sport. No enemies of the sport in this room, no complaints on my behalf. We must show the world about armwrestling!

[@dylanpiazza6358]

The GOAT, the man 💪💪 love from the US, Engin. And Ray, thanks for everything you do.

[@Leland387]

Coach Ray really is the voice of arm wrestling I believe we all gravitated to him. Hard to not like the guy

[@Bobby_LH]

i watch those interviews and im so glad of everything that happens in armwrestling and help it grow so much ! awesome comunnity and friends going forward !

[@thureintun1687]

Love these pre event interviews! I was very gladful you guys implemented this format since several events ago. It's so interesting to listen to what the athletes hav to say, status of their training, thoughts on the opponent and so on. What Engin has been doing for the overall growth of the sport is amazing. Just within past few years, armwrestling has super obviously got big, and is really fun for us who get fun out of the sport. The man also know what is needed to sustain this success. The fact that people keep deeming every last card "the best card so far" is for sure a very good sign! Some people doesn't seem to understand how important of a sportform to get mainstream status..., sustainability for instance; without mainstream success= less awarenss= lesser new talents= bad, talking about longterm sustainability. Some of the fellow armwrestling fans are just hard to understand for me :/ The fact is, for many people, armwrestling has never been this enjoyable in history! For that thank you very much to everyone involved in making East vs West

[@PronatorTendon]

Thank you for doing so many interviews, it definitely adds to the experience

[@TheArchersArms]

The interviews are getting better and better guys. Hope you can get Cobra to do Ringside interviews, Pickup as your anouncer and you Ray doing all these types of interviews. You are all great and i hope to see EvW use that talent and have consistency. Get cohosts but keep a good crew 👍

[@stephenpartridge6021]

I love engin so much he knows what's best for this amazing sport , I believe we will see a main stream event in next 5 years with the right backing of financial money invested, it deserves it's place at one of the top sports , let's be honest it's one of the oldest sports in history , I believe engin and this beautiful community can raise it to its peak 🎉❤

[@harmoniefullautomatique]

Thanks to all of you for making this event possible, what an impressive card and show to witness. Hi from Québec, Canada ! Cant wait to attend to an event near my home , i love armwresling ❤

[@Paul_Strength]

Engin definitely did the right thing and it's a pleasure seeing all the progress that he has made all around

[@jukuansnyp]

Only thing missing from the PPV:s now is that the audio has to be better. Sometimes the commentators voices are barely hearable and then suddenly it feels like someone is eating the mic. Also the graphics which shows the fouls or round seems to be almost always wrong. I've bought all the EvW except one. Thank you Engin!

[@stephenday5320]

PPV is bought and I CAN'T FKN WAIT💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 LETS GOOOOO!!!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@dondobi3469]

I love this sport so much, and also the good friendship between the athletes. Like a family

[@666Necropsy]

Engin looks much better. Keep up the good work. This is awesome.

[@Ja_ist_gut]

Chapeau, Engin. Great move in the r right direction, again

[@Bobby_LH]

Engin so motivating ! a great man.. wow Always pleasure to me to watch him

[@TheManaLord]

Incredible. Love this sport and the people

[@HandelandJ]

Thanks for all you do, Engin!!!

There was briefly a recently video with MMT, but it was taken down. What happened???

[@houdini_sports]

Make sure to follow yall! Lets get them to 200K 👍

[@NathanielCummingsOfficial]

Hey Engin I appreciate what you do I am a armwrestler From Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹 I would love to compete in your organization.

[@thegheo]

good job Engin

[@bradbutler]

i am NOT strong, but i make up for it by REALLY REALLY REALLY loving arm wrestling! Does that work Ray? 😉❤️💪🏻👍🏻

[@stephenday5320]

Get strong... It's never too late 💪🏻🙏🏻

[@limo-swine6537]

You must channel the power of FRIENDSHIP

[@killjoy362]

I am sure this gonna make engin more healthy, also maybe wishfull thinking, more time to compete himself. We the fans would like engin on table to😁

[@limo-swine6537]

I hope so too. With some load off of Engin, perhaps he can compete again and get the title from Samushia.

[@phipo666]

Just do not play with the money please. If you want 20 say you want 20. Until now it was this way. Do not go cheap to foul peoples for £3-4. I know with all the PPV sales it makes a different but don't go this way. If you charge 20 we still pay that, but if you say 16 and everyone got charged for 20odds that is not nice.

[@CardCakes]

Engin old east vs west 1-20 finall

[@dopexmc7901]

If you reach more people in all countries of the world, it is inevitable that there will be more viewers. Almost every man would watch and with the selection of arm wrestlers, everyone will have a person they can identify with or think is cool. Actually, the current step would have to be to reach more viewers, because a lot of people don't know that AW is a thing, but would be interested in it. There is the PDC European Darts there the prize money for the whole 10-day event in 2000 was 60k and in 2020 it is 600k. This is just as possible here.

[@JarMaster]

LETS GO!

[@maldeventre]

Very good content ❤

[@raffaelecarbuglio]

If you want to make the sport mainstream you have to make it serious. Stop the shouting to the referee and set strict rules and coherent reffing.

[@joshtheflatearthjedi222]

That's definitely not the way

[@raffaelecarbuglio]

@joshtheflatearthjedi222 You dont see shouting to the refs in olympiads or in any mainstream sport

[@TheArchersArms]

​@raffaelecarbuglio you see it from coaches in all major usa sports

[@romeomendoza9340]

Baseball, yelling at the ump is part of the culture.

[@TravisBaginashvili]

You say that like it’s easy to do. Not even the premiere leagues of major sports like the NBA can do it

[@strongsportz]

UPLOAD THE EVENTS FASTER FOR KZbin POST EVENT - fighthype dies after the event so if you post then it will never reach the main crowd

[@ArnoldLarsen90]

Love it

[@jonesy77777]

If you do toronto or detroit im getting tickets!

[@bigbore4498]

I hope Engin recovers from whatever is wrong with him. He doesn’t look well at all.

[@montanawhite5699]

I wouldn’t trust Dana white to do anything positive with armwrestling.

[@CoreyHack]

Armwrestling will never be a mainstream sport until we get running fouls, and start in straps to streamline matches. Matches take WAY to long. Also false starts should ABSOLUTELY be a foul. It's insane you can false start 5 times and still win the round in a 3 foul system, or 3 times in a 2 foul system.

[@ggmode9819]

nah, more likely steroids will block AW from entering mainstream, just compare the physique of heavyweight champions in all combat sport to armwrestling

[@ermeriodsassperini]

I know this comment get some hate, but Devon made EvW what it is today. The next big bump in ratings will be Brian Shaw. I understand that the hardcore fans don't like Devon's antics, but the reality is, If we want to go mainstream, we need people with personalities'.

[@limo-swine6537]

That's true. Need lots of shenanigans and drama to gain and maintain popularity.

[@ermeriodsassperini]

@limo-swine6537 You call it Shenanigans, I call it personality. Look, a lot of these fighters are competing in other organizations that no one knows about , except for the hardcore community. Engin and many others want this to go mainstream , unfortunately, there might be a cost to that. Here is the upside for anyone who is unhappy. They can choose to watch something else.

Which is the greatest country in the world?

[@SDSen]

Well Ive always been of the minority view that I dont want it to be mainstream I like it small and niche

[@thureintun1687]

Thats definition of gatekeeping brother, which i dont think is good. Other people want to enjoy armwrestling as much as me and enjoy this sport. You can't prevent people from loving armwrestling you see. Also why?? 😅 Why not want the sport you claim to love to be successful with more global awareness, therefore more influx of fans who could one day become capable armwrestler themselves, so more armwrestling prodigies= me and you hav to enjoy armwrestling for the rest of our life! These armwrestlers we are loving so much right now, thy woudlnt be alive forever you know. Im not even sure what your thought process actually is. But from my understanding, you're just alittle selfish 😅

[@blownvoicecoil124]

As an arm wrestling fanatic I would love for it to be mainstream since it would bring interest in the sport as more people notice it and allows more amazing athletes to the sport of arm wrestling

[@jeffmacarthur9722]

Arm wrestling has been around for centuries. It will always be niche.

[@allanbrunelle]

​@thureintun1687 so your against gatekeeping, that's good. You must be against athletes being limited to pulling on one promotion then as well right?

[@thureintun1687]

@@allanbrunelle what is that anything to do with being mainstream? If you're still wondering, you're absolutely correct! Yes, i dont like it personally.

[@superintends]

Coach Ray is great but please get Neil Pickup to do interviews, he's too socially awkward to ask questions to athletes

[@stephenday5320]

I completely disagree
