TRAVIS -"THE BEAST" BAGENT-"DEEP INSIDE THE MIND OF..."EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS WITH NEIL PICKUP- PART 3

Neil Pickup's exclusive interview series gives Fan's of Professional Armwrestling the opportunity to go "Deep Inside the Minds of the Worlds Greatest Armwrestlers", as he speaks with Stars of the Sport past & present about their experiences. This is the Third Part in a New series of interviews focussing on a Man who believes that he may well be THE Greatest Super-Heavyweight in the History of the Sport & its a belief which is not without a degree justification ! A Former Multiple W.A.L. Hammer Holder on both Right & Left Arms, a Winner of the prestigious Zloty Tur Open Cup & the Former U.S. National & W.A.F. World Champion, Travis "THE BEAST" Bagent has never been far from the conversation about who is the Best Heavyweight in the World. Outspoken & exceptionally charismatic, Travis is one of the most entertaining & polarising competitors the Sport has ever seen......& is a complex individual who has often enjoyed a love hate relationship with the Armwrestling fraternity. There can be no doubt however that "THE BEAST" is one of the most gifted & talented individuals ever to place he Elbow on an Armwrestling Table, cutting through opponents around the World with his efficient & super explosive Top Rolling style. This ultra in depth look at the character & career of this often mis-understood character is truly fascinating & it will no doubt help greatly to define your opinions about one of Armwrestling's Living Legends !

He's probably the only armwrestler to have a bigger charisma and character than Devon, and that's saying something.

[@andyg4929]

Was always a huge fan of Travis, but these interviews are elevating him even more in mine, and I'm sure many other people's eyes! Alexey Voevoda had to have been just INSANELY strong in 2004 to get the W over the Beast. No matter what, when discussing the best arm wrestlers ever, Travis is automatically included in that conversation.

[@dvr1337]

Travis is a great guest and thats saying somethin considering all the good guests u have on your show. It be really good to see him on with some of the other guys or not either way outstanding show. Your gettin fancy with your special effects in the beginning of the shows.

[@XxXFlyingArmBarXxX]

I'm impressed that Travis knows how to say Gdynia. I know the exact place where he is talking about, they made it into a sports " camp" where boxers go to train. I stayed there for 2 weeks while Golota was there. Plus it's right next to the Baltic sea

[@robertjrobicheau8456]

In my opinion the single greatest asset for a great interview is the the guests enthusiasm for the interview and how open they want to be with with their life. Travis is awesome in both areas. In no way do I want to diminish your interview skills Neal. However, in this interview, you put the question out their and let Travis go. This has been wonderful so far. The way Travis gives small insights of being a pro puller, like Igor's hotel or pay the breakdown is the best. I look forward to part 4.

[@Patch4Prez]

The history and bio talk is all great but I think the real juicy details need to be talked about, in all these convos. Who is the best, who would beat whom, armwrestlers they admire/emulate, rumors, steroids. As always, controversy is what sells.

[@tsjepettow3186]

Igor should get Travis to fight Laletin left handed in December instead of Devon.

[@DeeJay_USA]

This is why having all these organizations signing exclusive contracts is terrible for the sport. Unless you're the UFC who can absorb and dominate the competition you will never get the true world champions. Hopefully, when the sport gets big enough someone will consolidate them.

[@Alex-1750]

Jeremy Stillwell but WAL doesn’t..

[@steveandlisaclay2016]

Alexey was to much for everyone at the 2004 zloty tur! even travis! Alexey was on another level...plain and simple! Just look at all the people he steamrolled! Ivakin semerenko girdner bagent brzenk!

[@Alex-1750]

@Steve and lisa Clay All armwrestlers agree with you.. The huge and committed 2004 Voevoda version was untouched and won everything both hands that year. People forget that he steamrolled Taras Ivakin (who gave Brzenk hell) like nothing - earlier that day.
