AWE Grand Prix 1 | 8 Man Armwrestling Tournament | Official Footage

[@BewareOfTheFLuFF]

Riekerd was born for this sport. Insane how he plowed through everyone while being so fresh in the sport. East vs west here he comes.

[@denginterratt]

Riekerd better pull in the oceanic qualifiers for East v West!

[@joeyvirrosai3574]

Looking like Rino!

[@levansaginashvillisliver454]

nobody from this comp is going

Let other ppl qualify ffs, Riekerd will get the fast track into EvW the way he’s going anyway

Insane performance by Riekerd, congrats!

[@denda2643]

Agree, beautifully defiened.

[@veritas2145]

Gunters is a class act.

[@treedogg]

Absolutely crazy impressive Reikerd. I am personally very excited to see where you go with this.

[@alexmatchim]

Love this format. Awesome matches as well.

[@JonBoy612]

Really enjoyed this! I hope AWE keeps putting out content and matches. The Australian/Oceanic armwrestling scene is very interesting to me. Excited for Riekerd's armwrestling future!

[@denda2643]

One year ago i hoped that Riekard stayed with the sport after watching his first Sessions with Ryan. I am so glad that he did stick with it. How far he came in that short time frame is just incredible. Both extraordinary strength and talent merging. Wish you the best, big fella.

Tournament format 💪. You never know who will win. This is why Brzenk will always be GOAT.

[@coniaroouzamaki8843]

If Devon takes down levan that could change😂

[@RHCP1]

@@coniaroouzamaki8843 Tournament pulling is the ultimate challenge. No one on earth has won more tournaments then John. End of conversation. John is Goat. No question.

[@coniaroouzamaki8843]

@@RHCP1nah Devon might take the down strongest armwrestler to ever walk the planet, potentially bringing down someone who would’ve treated John like a child but John can still have the lesser tho, Devon brought more excitement and attention to the sport that’s why more people know his name

[@RHCP1]

@@coniaroouzamaki8843 Devon will win against Levan, And I am sure Devon would still concede John is Goat.

[@Weeji_420]

Have to agree. Tournament style is the true test. Being able to beat any style, multiple matches. Endurance and skill. Devon is the king of spectacle. John is the goat.

[@tallpaulhutchensjr.]

Mattierangy was in some wars huh lol. Man that rugby Ricardo? I suck at the name spelling sorry y'all. He got good very quick. Seems like within a few months he went thru everyone. Definitely a feller to keep a eye on. Awesome event and congratulations to the newwwww AWE champion woooooo 💪🏆

[@frchavez22]

Riekerd is going places. I hope he sticks with it

[@lakinnenlako6883]

I like how Guntars is genuinelly happy for Rikard:

[@RypienGT]

Managed to catch most of the live stream, but seeing this post production was nice. Well done to the big South African, and all of the guys.

[@lvldarwin]

Nicely done Riekerd!! Congratulations to you

[@deeeeeeps]

Very good quality! And only took 24hrs to produce!

[@NewEraLandscaping724]

Damn Ryan is like 3-4th best in this top 8 that’s surprising

[@beastmode8895]

Awesome to see Brett back amongst it.

[@AWEunderground]

He's an absolute legend of Australian Arm Wrestling that's for sure

[@Armwarriorscanberra]

This was fantastic team. Well done Reickards. Your a beast my man💪🏼

[@BlackScreenWhispers]

Great matches! The ref we see on camera didn't do a bad job at all! He just needed more assistance from the ref on the other side. He was doing his best with that guy not really saying much. Great content and fantastic job AWE!

[@dankiusarmwrestlingTaranBroad]

Alot of amazing proformances here. Andy despite being much lighter beating ryan scott, guntars and getting into a war with big maati Brett coming 2nd after getting a big pec tear after the supermatch with me a couple months ago, proved alot of people wrong. All i can say is a star is bornman And wow lachlan carpenters body is catching upto his nose, well done

[@pavarottivastola]

That was the a great tournament. Ryan actually did a thing! Good hold

[@johannsebastianbach6282]

Whoever that buff guy is that beat Maateiwarangi in the end, his raw power is narly!

[@xanthromera]

Brett Coutts is built. He could step on a body-building stage.

[@AWEunderground]

Brett does compete in Body Building which is so awesome to see him doing both sports :D

[@grideffect1193]

Really enjoy the energy. I like that they're not setting up for long💪👍👍

[@AWEunderground]

Thanks mate :D I hate long set ups too :D

[@jeremiahlynn9584]

Really appreciated this editing. Good matches as well

[@dankiusarmwrestlingTaranBroad]

Once again a star is bornman

[@ryancking87]

Ryan needs to fight more in the setup. Brett was almost touching his chin with his hand in the setup because of how sucked in he was while Ryan was extended out all weird. Get angry, Ryan, fight for it, and dont just let them dictate to you.

[@Kavriel]

What a dominant performance by Riekerd. His potential goes beyond the national scene, I believe.

[@Mrkoolaid333]

That kid is definitely going to be elite, he plowed through everyone😧👍🏽💪🏽

[@AWEunderground]

He keeps getting stronger too :D

[@thinkbeforyouvote]

Nice, likable young man. Congrats on this achievement.

[@ronfender8101]

big strong young man right there !!!!!

[@joelhatescops]

Thanks for keeping this going. Great sport 👍

[@timpipe2594]

Well done lads.

[@thinkbeforyouvote]

Flawless technique and unmatched speed and strength today. So young, too. Humble and respectful? You need heels, you need good guys. Looking forward to him pulling in some big events now. Sign him up Engin.

[@dungeonmasterarmwrestling7185]

Awesome event! Great work guys - onwards and upwards 💪🙏🔥

[@AWEunderground]

Thanks mate, great to see the Arm Gods Wales event yesterday also.

[@bruceMooseman]

Great video, really fun tournament ro watch. Not sure on some of the starting positions on ready go but i like how quick the set ups seemed to be (or it was just great editing 😂)

[@AWEunderground]

Thanks mate, the set ups were that speed, we ran a live event at the same time, this edit just cut out the filler stuff in between rounds etc.

[@adamclark2245]

The kids impressive and i was also impressed with Bret. Considering where Ryan is and he is active so he is the best guage as far as where he is internationally it looks like that is a good group of pullers that all are very close. Id like to see thst ran back with a more dominant ref not shitting on this guy it is what it is but just curious what the kid can do on a stricter start. Hes a big big kid and not to take anything away from him but that last match homeboy was already in a press position and damn near center table. Overall good job AWE

[@AWEunderground]

Love the feedback, thanks Adam :D

[@veritas2145]

Great event! Really enjoyed this. 👍👍

[@AWEunderground]

Good point, I hadn't even realised that.

[@koryskinner7295]

I really enjoyed watching this tourny! Everyone baging the ref obviously hasnt reffed or done charity work. Hes not getting paid for that and hes doing the best he can. Congratulations Riekard! 💪💪

@@davestockbridgeAWE thanks

[@polarbear4612]

Tattooed guy needs to keep a much tighter connection. He’s extended right from the start.

[@AWEunderground]

I believe he had a bicep injury which made it difficult to be in really tight positioning.

[@5wisher5weet]

Is Brett Coutts brother the captain on Below Deck??? Haha

[@camdensworld0516]

Matte needs to lift weights. Such a sweet man, but pound for pound he isn’t nearly as strong as he could be

[@AWEunderground]

Have you seen him bench 285kg?

[@MichaelHathaway-hj3vo]

There is nothing like watching a grown man go to his knees in a stand-up sport😂. I'm no geometer but I'm pretty sure it's unfair leverage when a man hangs all his body weight on your arm while arm wrestling. Especially when he weighs over 350lbs. This sport needs serious help with rules.

[@donttreadonme306]

The beasts pronation seems to be hurt

[@mesa1853]

Nice tourny

[@SteveM-wy4yf]
