Very interesting to hear John's perspective on things. Engin, Devon and John make the best podcasts imo. Just a wealth of knowledge and experience between them.

[@markperry762]

Podcast like this where the F BOMB isn't getting dropped every other word. How pleasant. Thank you guys.

[@thejester8136]

Anytime I see John Brzenk I instantly watch him, the man is FULL of stories and four plus decades long experience in the sport so I can’t imagine anyone knowing more at this time. People need to listen to him and use his wisdom to advance. Liked !!!

[@user-qk3bv3er1e]

Uhhhh right….

[@aestheticunlimited1733]

Dadikyan vs alizan muratov is going to be banger 😮

[@tricia3114]

Muratov is becoming one of my favorites to watch.. crazy power.

[@Justinsox39]

@@tricia3114you see his old matches when he was lighter. He beat everyone at his weight in a split second. Very entertaining

[@tricia3114]

@@Justinsox39 the level(s) of arm wrestling now is insanely high..

[@Justinsox39]

@@tricia3114yeah and it’s just going to continue to grow. Exciting times for the sport

[@pirateslive7677]

Dadikyan has no chance

[@quiet216]

The GOAT is back. Always great to see him. Hope he returns to Monday Night Lives.

[@LeahRobb]

I miss them too. I think his increase in pain, loss of motivation, loss of matches and lack of MNL kinda collided. What do you think? I'm not sure which came first.

[@user-qk3bv3er1e]

When was the last time he even did that? Like a year or 2 ago? lol I think he has just accepted he can’t compete at the top level anymore. It’s over for him unless you throw him a guy he can beat. Maybe like…Lachlan or something

[@LeahRobb]

@@user-qk3bv3er1e Lachlan gave Krasi problems, so if John doesn't get into a much better shape, he won't beat Lachlan either. But I don't think it's age. Have you seen Mike Tyson's footage? I think it's injuries and long covid...I still hope he gets the fire back, but who knows.

[@user-qk3bv3er1e]

@@LeahRobb I don’t think it’s injuries personally or long covid. I just think he’s facing competition that’s taking the sport alot more seriously than in the past. Guys are just incredibly strong now. Johns greatest asset has always been his hand and wrist. A guy like Lachlan is lacking in those areas which is why he is a good matchup for a potential win for John. The hook bs hook battle with krasi was why the match was made in the first place. A planned match to allow lachlan to use his power. With John that wouldn’t happen. Either way that’s the best potential guy I can see John facing for a win. Everyone else is really just surpassing him at this point. You can’t not lift weights and expect to be top level anymore. It’s just not realistic. John just won’t do it.

[@LeahRobb]

@@user-qk3bv3er1e Oh you are right John needs to train - even table time would be good. Since the Corey match he has regularly mentioned how little he has been able to train. Either he's been sick with covid or aching - or lacking motivation?. Hook? Well Krasi said he felt most uncomfortable in a hook with John, which was interesting. John's hand, wrist, speed and connection were what made him great, yes. And you are absolutely right. There are many guys taking it very, very seriously and that is hard for a 59 year old to keep up with - particularly if they are using the kind of PEDs John is not prepared to use. I'll miss seeing him pull if he stops. I saw his dad pull once and even that was amazing ☺️

[@shashishekharsingh4652]

John can do some of the best commentary and analysis on armwrestling while remaining unbiased. Armwrestling needs him to be involved if not as a competitor then as commentator, of course on his own terms.

[@edwardprokopchuk3264]

💯

[@LagiaArm]

John has more information in his right hand than most other athletes in both of their hands. He knows armwrestling from A to Z

[@ArmwrestlingAbode-ys8pq]

Do we still need a reason to accept that John is the Greatest of All Time, being an athlete or a human being. The man is awesome!

[@ascekun8553]

Engin please consider signing the sign EvW trading card deck/cover. You're the most incredible promoter I've ever seen. I personally would feel honored having you sign it too. I think all the arm wrestlers signing it is amazing they are all a big part of the events. I also believe you are a huge part of the events also. I know it would be hard because time wise you are very busy, and thats fine. I will not be mad, I just had to throw this suggestion out there because I think very highly as you and respect your knowledge in the sport and your love towards it. You're an incredible person. Ps dont ever let the trolls get to you because reacting to them will only affect your mind negatively, and you dont need any of that, you're a good man. Stay strong, love arm wrestling. Much love to everyone.

[@quiet216]

Guys remember John’s been talking about retirement on and off since 2004. I don’t think he’s going anywhere 💪

[@frankaltrui3395]

John is the GOAT not only because of his on table career which is unmatched, but because John = CLASS. Thank God Levan came out on top, because he has supreme class as well.

[@Myblacknadz]

Class never grew the sport though. There is a reason arm wrestling exploded recently. Same with why PPVs are 50% higher when Devon

[@thomas8794]

@@Myblacknadzbrother nobody is talking about popularity. Show respect.

[@thomas8794]

Thank your for putting this show together Engin, and thank you for getting Johns thoughts.

John is the man

[@Carlo1500]

its always incredible to listen to john, can't wait to see him pull in august. hope he wins

[@boostedz0683]

Love John, GOAT!!

[@jobidden2073]

I don't have time to watch all your Lives Engin, but I see John and make Time 💪🏻🙂👍🏻

[@Andrew_EvsW]

Why did John quit and delete all his monday podcast? :( was nice to see him

[@LeahRobb]

He's not about to die, but was having a privacy bout and didn't want to leave debris of himself around on the internet...I think he also thinks he's boring...something like that. He has previously mentioned that he can suffer from depression, so maybe there was something like that that triggered him. KZbin is somewhat poorer after he did that though.

[@Nick-uq2ww]

I don’t want to see John go against another Hook puller. I would love to see John go against a top roller at East vs West 14.

[@Kiran-eq5yp]

John is so excited for Denis Ermes match. U can see it in his eyes

[@morgoth5364]

Love your shirt, John!

[@Kjuken69]

Great podcast Engin, fantastic job you are doing! And so great to see John again, i have seen all the east vs west and loving it, but i miss John,, he was always the one i looked forward to see. I hope i can see him on the table again! He is a fantastic person! The best to both of you! Best wishes from Norway!

[@denistahirovic7064]

There should be such thing where Engin, John and Devon just sit together and talk for hours about armwrestling. Hopefully all three meet at one of the KOTT and just sit down and make this a reality, this would be a dream!

[@GoldenArms13]

Stojan Golemanov can be a great Oponent for John in future EvW event, they have very good final match at senec Hand

[@LagiaArm]

I cant believe I havent thought about this. This is a great match

[@jayclean5653]

That would be a great match. I'd love to see John pull more toprollers. He's been getting a lot of dominant hook pullers recently, and his shoulder really doesn't allow him to apply his power.

[@matteoallegretti1663]

Listening to John is always Top moment👍💪🏆

[@nattygains9077]

Just put KZbin on and this popped up at the top! An hour long chat with John and Engin what a treat! Only a few minutes in, is John scheduled for a match soon? Absolutely love watching John armwrestling!

[@MISTER_DREY.]

Engin can bring back lelegends matches for john

[@bmetal2]

This guy is really the goat! Both at the table and as a person.

[@bowhunter30x67]

Man to legends together always a treat too have John and engin do a livestream 2 🐐 s

[@Albert-ft4zl]

Great to see the GOAT again!

[@sebastianquilt]

Muratov dominates on his left the way John dominated on his right. If we get over the artificial importance of the right arm, and Alizhan continues this freakish dominance on the left for another couple decades, thereis another conversation for another GOAT.

[@PabloChmip]

BRZENK!!!!

[@jwkoreaguy]

Engin do commentator cards or KZbinrs as well. With weak stats, I think it would be a fun addition

[@PinnaclePete]

Engin gets imput from John to help him set up the next matches for East vs West.

[@angelocampana5581]

I love you Jhon!!!

[@ProjectMerljn]

Most people are using the Levan is "too juiced" to be defeated. The reality is, that even if you were to add a strict PED enforcement on AW, Levan is still a naturally big man. Before he blew up to over 180kg + he was at about 120kg around 2017 without the horse PEDs. He's just a genetically gifted strong man, his bone density is thick which leads to carrying more muscle weight. I think on a full natural level he would still be top 3, if not the champ. I would love to see PED enforcement in the sport of arm-wrestling because it would subsequently open up the field on the ground level for kids who aspire to get into this sport.

[@thegheo]

I'm looking forward for Denis match

[@thedrew24]

KZbin algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... 🐐 feels he is maybe 80% of his max at most now. still very fun to watch him pull, and still beats most of all AW 😎

[@damnblam3760]

John said it himself, there are people who can hang with Levan in arm strength and other areas like side pressure but Levan is just too big... That weight is such a big factor 😕

[@lethargicastengah572]

I think he's referring to bone thickness, not necessarily weight

[@LeahRobb]

Levan is just too juiced. He is on everything at levels that would make you die according to juiced up Larry Wheels. So basically, if you want to beat him, you have to be willing to die for it. I'm glad Devon was not willing to die for it. and I hope Levan steps back from the lab

[@damnblam3760]

​@@lethargicastengah572 "That size factor just really makes it difficult for most people to give 100% of that power" Dennis bone thickness is insane and probably thicker. He was not referring to Levans bone thickness.

[@lethargicastengah572]

@@damnblam3760 You jump to conclusions too hastily. Don't forget John defeated Corey West with 90+ kg weight difference.

[@damnblam3760]

@@lethargicastengah572 Not jumping to anything, Corey doesnt have the skill of Levan either. I quoted john and also believe his weight is a big factor. Levans main big push came after the massive usage and weight added, he was getting beat when the weight was fair.
