Please translate the answers from Devon and any other guy next time when u have an interview of this format. When someone asks a question to morozov then he responds and then Devon responds why do u not translate that response from Devon? Very frustrating

[@jonesy77777]

Certainly seems to be the most vocal expression of concerns by the highest profile athlete in the sport. He has definitely been thrown a number of bones to satisfy his wondering mind. But theres too much grumbling to ignore that there are cracks in EvW. Engin loves the sport as much as devon, but i dont see EvW lasting indefinitely under Engin, he doesnt have the temperament for it. Engin would be a great matchmaker. Devon recognizes that the sport had a rich history before EvW and he realistically recognizes that EvW is not infinite. It wont be UFC, and probably wont be around in 10 years, it cant under someone like Engin. Thats why he values the hammers, they evolve with the sport.

Its very obvious that Engin does not like the hammer because it is not affiliated with or came from EvW. The gauntlet was definitely made in response to the hammer. While i like Engin and appreciate all he has done he has a big ego and is very elitist when it comes to EvW, thinking other organizations are beneath him.

[@conorkane4203]

You mean the belt? He started with armor and what not than move towards the belts which is easier and better but I do I like the hammer because it's already been passed respectively and has a history. Might be short but it's building.

[@sapthebee6342]

Lots of riddles. Let me interpret it for you. morozovs stances pre and post Instagram post don’t allign, so Devon is insinuating that someone told him to make that post degrading the hammer. Who is that person? Someone who dislikes the hammer. Perhaps the same person who introduced the gauntlet to take shine away from the hammer. The same person who gives Devon steaks(money) to keep him quiet. Who is this mysterious person, pulling the strings. Well it’s the puppet master. 🎭

[@AdamLighter1]

All points to that, but why would he do it, I cant seem to relate to his position. Anybody who would do this, to me, is not really in his right mind and doesnt have selfless (you can call it pure if you wish) goals for the sport...

[@thepierianspring2353]

If I understood correctly, it's even worse than that. It seems all of Artems comments, both public and private communications with Devon, are all consistent. Why then the one glaring incongruity? Devon has a highly developed analytical mind, I think he has a good idea of what's going on.

[@ElReyGarcia11]

Engin was the one who told Artyom to accept the hammer and told Dennis to bring it to the match. He said it was also a welcome addition as a concept outside of East vs West… Why would Engin tell Morozov to make a post degrading the hammer?

[@pupper5580]

Ryan Bowen is the Puppet Master. He controls Devon, he controls Engin, he controls Denis. His goal is to create as much drama as possible, so he will be able to sell more armwrestling gear and armwrestling programs. I have solved it. Case closed.

CLEARLY if u put the measurements what he lifted and lifts now its not even close and we r not even saying how he looked in the past and present. Denis will live rent free forever in Devon's head.

Like did engin ask him to do that or pay him but I know you're one of the sponsors so that wouldn't make sense lmao. Not being an asshole by the way, I was just like, is it really that exciting?. I think i was just in a negative place and just burnt out on the sport. If I was right there though I'm sure i woulda been hyped af though. So I'll shut up lol. I think I've been on the devon train so long, I'm more excited for the Jerry fight cuz everyone has practically laughed at him and counted him out. Is he the money technical, no but I bet he's far more technical and knowledgeable than most people who shit on him. I think for how quiet he's been, he's gonna come in crazy for the match. He's gonna be noticeably bigger. Would be so cool if you have Jerry on the show. Anyway, my bad for the novel.

[@weldmishref]

For example Morozov said from the beggining that his motivation of all these videos was to play a role of Gendalf the White and defend Denis. He literally said that in first 15 or 20 minutes of conversation. But translator havent translated it and then Artem had to repeat his motivation like 2 more times.

[@pupper5580]

What Denis is doing to Devon is reactive abuse. Devon is being told "you go too far". If you can never "go too far" you will never ever get anything done - because if you (=the other person in the equation, who is creating a problem) create a situation where "not going too far" but "staying within the boundaries" will never ever solve the situation - then it just doesn't work to "not go too far". It's not Devon's fault that he is forced to "go too far". It's the person who is forcing the other to go too far who is at blame. This is called reactive abuse: my behaviour triggers abusive behaviour in you - and then you as the person who pushed the other person into reacting act like you're the victim: "hey everyone look at this bad person abusing me! I have no idea why he is doing that, make him stop he is bad" - while in reality it is him being the orchestrator of the whole situation - it is him abusing the other person - and then abusing him even more when he reacts ("he is a bad man for reacting, he is going too far!") This is the Karpman Drama triangle: persecutor, rescuer, victim. Abusers love being victims, and they like to use "rescuers" as pawns to do the "persecution" in their behalf. The story of Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) from Star Wars prequels is all about Palpatine making himself a victim (orchestrating an army to attack himself) and using his victim status to amass power.

I’ll write here as well the message I personally have sent to Engin: Hi Engin, as a huge armwrestling fan I would like to share my opinion on this gauntlet. I like it very much and it's not a bad idea in a strict sense, but you should be very aware of the risks that it brings to the future of the sport. The problem is that it is strictly bound to the east vs west brand, and it could not possibly be "re-utilized" for the future champions. It is exactly a copy of the so controversial WAL Hammer, just with another brand written on it. What if in the future East vs West ceases to exist? Obviously I hope it's never the case, but what if? East vs West already has the champions' belts with the logo on. Is it really necessary to add another trophy? I know you don't like the WAL Hammer because it's bound to an old armwrestling league such as WAL, and it represents it, but creating a new trophy the concept of LEGACY will be lost. I think that league-specific trophies like EvW belts and WAF medals are alright, but the most important trophy for the very strongest armwrestler in the world should not be linked to any league. It should be brand-less. Maybe we can just remove the WAL logo off the hammer. Or maybe you can still make this beautiful gauntlet but without the East vs West logo on it. I know it must be difficult for you, because you love armwrestling and you love East vs West. You are so proud of this organization and you should be, you have all the rights. You created it from zero and helped the sport of armwrestling grow a lot, and we all are very grateful to you for this. But now I shall be very clear: *East vs West IS NOT armwrestling!* Maybe it is in this historical moment, but we can’t know if it will still be in the future. What if in 200 years from now another league with another name is doing great things for the sport and they don’t want to use the East vs West gauntlet because of the brand? Just like you don’t want to use the WAL hammer. We should do this gift TO THE SPORT OF ARMWRESTLING IN GENERAL, and not only to the East vs West name. It is the WHOLE ARMWRESTLING SPORT that needs its own absolute trophy, not East vs West, that already has its belts. I like to think that in 200 or 300 years the armwrestlers of the future will still be fighting to obtain that so aspired legendary trophy, that will be full of the LEGACY idea. I think that this is what Devon was talking about. We don't want the WAL hammer, but we want A SINGLE ARMWRESTLING TROPHY, not bounded to any brand name, and eternal. World absolute strongests shall write their names on this trophy and the legacy will continue for so many years from now, regardless of the organization of the moment. I hope I explained well my opinion, and I would love to speak with you about it. Good luck for the amazing job you are already doing for the sake of this sport. Love you Engin, all armwrestling fans are indebted to you 🙏 His only answer was “we do not have such goal”…

Devon is cunning. He himself could be caught in contradictions several times. For example, when he said that he did not demand the hammer when Denis was sick the first time, then the second time he was sick with covid. And after that, he repeated the "6 years" thing several times: he was soft for 6 years, asked Denis to give him the hammer for 6 years, and so on. Devon is cunning, very cunning.

The HAMMER Represents THOR - The Best Across All Time & History & Leagues!!! ; To Me it should be the #1 TOP Honor of Respect that you are the best in the WORLD... not just 1 promotion or small time league or event! ; If they want seperate belts & the "glove" for different events & places fine, but RESPECT what the Hammer Represents ABOVE all that smaller stuff and w/out saying it, THAT IS what Devons trying to say... ; If your mad at me,.. then attack ME... dont disrespect & devalue The HAMMER and what it is!!! ; ]

Completely different version of denis but that is funny

[@sharibmemon926]

​@@jacobtorma2490Prime Devon in 2008 beat John and that John flash pinned Denis 😂 2008 devon would break prime Denis arm 2008 Devon was so strong he was playing with Andrey pushkar who was giving tough fight to denis and so called Denis prime lost to Michael Todd 😂 what a joke he is 😂 prime Denis was struggling against Dave and one of the weakest versions of Devon (2014) beat prime Dave chaffe I have Valid logic but you will just cry and just talk about one practice pull which was 2 sec long and Devon was out of surgery that yr (weakest version) delusional Denis fan 😂🤡

a gauntlet is easier to transport than a damn hammer

[@thepierianspring2353]

Denis held on to the hammer because giving it up would require him to admit to himself his arm is shot.

[@duggiestone]

I agree with Devon that Evs.W is the league at the moment, but that will likely change. The name won’t even hold up over time. I’d like to know the numbers, but I’d guess the US is by far the largest financial supporter and is floating Engin’s promotion at the moment. I think what Devon is insinuating is that someone will come along and do it better. If they focus on the West that’s where the money will be and this could crumble pretty quickly.

[@Neilpickpocket]

Good job with the interview..... Devon has stated many times in the past that he doesn't do anything for money. Clearly that has been disingenuous. At least he admits it now. Nothing wrong with doing things for money but don't be fake about it. Hopefully there will be a turning point back to the old Devon that many of us grew to like and admire.
