TRAVIS -"THE BEAST" BAGENT-"DEEP INSIDE THE MIND OF..."EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS WITH NEIL PICKUP- PART 2

[@nemocorone6124]

Please get Travis and Devon together that would be A W E S O M E

[@hankanderson9716]

Nemo Corone please

[@danpats1]

Better yet, Travis and Michael Todd....

[@xprettylightsx]

He’s done both of those Things

[@andygove19]

110/10 Neil travis is an interesting dude and I could listen to him all day. The past two interviews flew past

[@aaronrus]

Travis is the most entertaining man in sports, let alone arm wrestling

[@tsvettselev9337]

Best interviews so far 👌💪

[@billirengbam]

Hate him or love him ...Travis is an interesting guy

[@sidmartin4677]

Brilliant Brilliant

[@thebreadman1346]

These interviews with Travis are fascinating

[@robertjrobicheau8456]

Travis is a very interesting guy. Super strong and quite a entertaining guy as well. Listening to him describe his upbringing he has been in the entertainment business, in some way, his whole life. It's no wonder he's so comfortable running a show or being part of one.

[@jefflane5418]

The best interview keep them coming would love to see trained Travis back in wal

[@DropkickNation]

Many people misjudge Travis a lot. He is a goofy entertainer on the table, but when you are sitting down with him, he can tell great stories.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

I have a newfound respect and admiration for Travis after seeing this. He's such an honest and clearly complicated person. I don't think people who just casually watch the sport would have ever guessed this about him. Great, great interview. One of the best I've ever seen in the sport.

[@robavis4906]

Pure gold these interviews. We would never get to hear these stories if not for this show. Ive always liked Travis and his stories but never heard them in this much depth. Helps understand these guys alot better and what makes them tick. He is a character and a good story teller.

[@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157]

Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the Show. All the best to you & your Family, I hope your all Safe & Well, Stay Strong, Stay Stoic

[@giannistsoukatos4205]

Oh, Neil you reminded me my youth!!! Watching the 21 year old wonder(then) Stephen Hendry facing Steve Davis, although there were a lot great players (Jimmy White, John Parrott and many that i have forgotten through the years we are talking about 1989-1993-4 if i remember correctly.What an era! Great years. I was waiting when the Eurosport would have snooker in its program. I was mesmerized!!!!

[@alan3995]

Of all the great podcasts ,this is the one, bring on part 3

[@LZAK123]

Travis is always the best

[@cattycats4]

[@TimmyTurner421]

Neil Pickup is making the best out of quarantine 💪

[@DominikM7]

Travis is a great storyteller and funny as hell. So honest and cool. Listening him talking, I felt like watching a movie. Its pretty impressive that stuff he says he could have done to Chaffe as well and I believe it. Neil did an amazing job not interrupting him and giving just enough of his presence to keep conversation going. Absolute class podcast host. :)

[@joesmulti-edc890]

Dam , these interviews with Travis were over the top 😉. Good job Mr Pickup !

[@thearmwrestlingopinion2978]

Excellent 👍!!!!! Need to make a movie about Travis! Who would play the beast though 😂

[@HyakuJuu01300]

Travis, Devon and Michael. You put these three on the show and we could listen for hours Neil 👍

Great Interview. Neil really knows when and when not to interject. This and the first Travis interview are perfect. Travis is a great storyteller.

[@bakdaon]

Really love this video with Travis, one of your best Neil. Travis he makes for a great interviewee, his storytelling is awesome and its stuff that we don't know about. Get him on more often!

[@terryconjugateiron]

Bro excellent material once again. I assume there are contracts preventing this, but it'd be great if Travis popped by WAL for some matches.

[@arontoth6158]

I would really listen Trevis abput his match against Alexey Semerenko:'DDD I saw that match 100 times and love it. Funniest thing in the history of armwrestling. Neil , could u ask him what was going on there?

[@dillon1977]

100% agree, that match was the most funny and unsportsmanlike match of every sports in the world

[@thanostitan.infinity]

One of the best till now. Wow 👑

[@joshrader2720]

It's always pretty neat to hear the history and stories of great arm wrestlers , but Neil who is going to interview you so we can hear you're? Stay safe

[@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157]

Josh Rader quite happy to focus on the other Guys first mate 🤣 stay safe Brother 🎙

[@adamsmith8283]

Yeah would love to hear your story as well Neil. You should pull some footage of your best matches. You're killing it with these uploads mate 👍. On a side note, every time I arm wrestle my elbow is hurt for like 3 weeks, must be a way to train this? I do Manual labour so causes quite a problem for me.

[@chickenhead_sad]

@@adamsmith8283 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4XbgHWhgKmesNU watch this video. todd hutchings uses this exercise to negate elbow pain, and said that he has gone to armwrestling practices that were up to 7hrs long, and had no elbow pain from those practices, because of this exercise.

[@dota2guide899]

Congratulations on this awesome channel! Fascinating interview, indeed. Would be soooo cool to have Travis back in the WAL!! Maybe it will be possible, somehow... I hope... Also, who do you think would win in a match: that motivated, trained version of Travis from 2003 or Cyplenkov 2018, left handed?

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

What I love about Travis is you only have to ask him one or two questions and you can get a hour long interview out of it.. he’s always been my favorite arm wrestler because he just doesn’t give a shit💪💪

[@hammerham4378]

Travis is such a smart guy. Guy would be great at whatever he wanted to do.

[@findango]

Since I was at the 2003 Ottawa tournament, I'm amazed that in 2020, I'm getting some more backstory. I remember this as if it were yesterday. Phenomenal interview.

Great content mate. Travis and Devon could, with the right push, take armwrestling way beyond where it is at the moment, such great personalities and charismatic characters, I feel like armwrestling is missing a trick with these guys

[@mayilla8462]

I really like these interviews. This is one of the few good things to come out of this pandemic. Lol

[@Crazy0101]

Travis' story is like Baki the Grappler

[@Mikko._.]

I think that Travis is the only guy how has won Brzenk, Voevoda and Larratt both left and right.

[@rufussthubbins8891]

Neil I’m sure you’re more aware of this than anyone, but what you yourself have done for the sport of arm wrestling is unrivaled. You interview the best this world has to give in this sport acknowledging everyone’s glory days like a damn encyclopedia. But imo you deserve all the accolades as much as any puller out there. that Wit and self awareness is as polished as they come. Oh right, a world class puller in your day. I honestly don’t think pro arm wrestling would be near the same without your stamp on it. Have a nice day brother! 🙌

[@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157]

Thanks for the kind words mate, it's much appreciated. Really glad you are enjoying the Shows. All the best to you & your Family, I hope your all Safe & Well, Stay Strong Brother, Stay Stoic

[@Grant-vk6zo]

Travis is an entertainer. Lots of opinions on him but I bet they all watch every time. The guy and his "Persona" have made a living for him doing something he loves. Someone has to be the Bad Guy.

[@MWK1995]

Do a Travis/Devon Show .. That would be Priceless

Neil, how about an interview with the Leviathon Richard Lupkes that would be so amazing. He is a true giant and such a good humble man. Would love to hear his arm wrestling story💪💪💪

[@artetasmuse]

Yo Neil this is Gold. The Beast is awesome.

[@koolburn5218]

Lol I love how when he was younger, he called himself the best in the US, and didn't consider John because he was by default out of this world. I wasn't in the Armwrestling at the time, but it's amazing how well respected John was. He didn't need tv, KZbin etc. to become known. His Armwrestling said it all.👏

[@marsuini]

Why is Travis not part of the WAL?

[@rob1pumacosworth]

The money isn't there for Travis, he makes more doing his own thing. I feel like that could change in the next few years tho hopefully they can entise him over

[@TimmyTurner421]

Amazing content

I just wanna see travis back maybe when denis comes back? Denis vs travis? Best come back arm wrestling match in my opinion

[@Bubwars]

@@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157 I've been able to take that interest I had back when armwrestling was at it's first peak when my brother used to hang out and show me stuff, but a lot happened since those times. My mom died, and most recently my fiance died. Just a lot of things, but a straight path to what I want... and after losing the 2 people that meant everything to me I'm about ready to start my focus over. I have no goal... just to do what I feel is right. I'm old for any sport now at 35, but in 10 years, who knows. I'm just a focused person who is very much about learning and the behavior of people, and it fits very well with this. I've always been about single competition, and I don't know why for sure, but I know damn well I do it for me. I need to prove things to me, and nobody else. I just hope you can get Devon of MMT on for a weekly thing, because what you're doing now is pure gold and can only last a bit, mate. You need one of these head figures to stay on board, and I believe you're the man to do it. The brains, the brawn... Keep up everything, you've repeaked my interest and I'm on board for the long haul. Just need to get my 70s-80s wrastlin' in me so I can cut a decent promo. Nothing but respect, and I will continue to come back and learn. You're a true hero and that goes for everybody who is at the top whos goal is to continue to grow the sport. There's a reason why Devon is the man right now, and it's not purely based on his skill... most everybody will agree that he can't do what he used to, but he's adapted and will literally do anything to get the sport where he thinks it should be. MMT is catching wind, as are all of the 'newer' breed. If this sport is where it should have been, Travis would haven been on top this whole time imo... it just takes one super rich dude to get on board. Sorry, but I do care about this stuff. It helps me keep grounded and is my way of staying in shape. Cheers and God speed, Neil, I'll do my part.

[@jonathan2538]

What happen to Travis lip man?

[@jamessheldon9472]

Jonathan I was thinking the same thing - any one know the back story on why his lip is so badly messed up? Outside of his physical appearance being “off” he is unquestionably the most interesting arm wrestler when it comes to telling stories - plus he’s one of the best ever - as much as I appreciate Devon, especially as a fellow Canadian, he can’t top the entertainment value that Travis brings every time he opens his mouth. Can’t wait for part 3.

[@raysprint4923]

Jonathan probably cleft lip

[@jonathan2538]

Ray A but it has a scar

[@Spookystrokes16]

It is called a cleft palate. It is a birth defect. The scar is from corrective surgery to repair it.

[@theseattlegreen1871]

Cleft lip and cleft palate are thought to be caused by a combination of genes and other factors, such as things the mother comes in contact with in her environment, or what the mother eats or drinks, or certain medications she uses during pregnancy.

Great stuff Neil, loving this channel. I armwrestle with my two teenage boys quite a bit now after roughly 20 years of not doing it. I missed my calling back in the early 90's as a lefty. Hoping to get to some tournaments here in Ontario in 2021. We were looking forward to the Ottawa Open and the Bottom 8 until the virus happened. Keep up the great work, cheers.
