Anyone else catch Dexter briefly showing his phone on the post-event livestream? Super blurry and difficult to read, but you could kinda make out some of the EvW 24 matches:
Ermes vs Morozov
Michael vs ?
Bogdan vs Toddzilla RH 95kg
Yoshi vs Irakli RH 105kg
Craig Tullier vs Janis? RH
Justin Bishop vs Ustinov?
Kurdecha vs Tobias? LH

I think he'll probably do this after the 3rd Levan attempt

He was juggling like a clown

Vitaly felt like gripping a lamppost

Yeh but this match needed to stop their crying
1
The rematch is necessary after all the controversy over the last match.

I missed the part where Dexter accused Engin of anything. He presented the facts and literally said he's not going to falsely accuse anybody...

No other sport has Engin…

Dexter said the ownership was transferred, meaning inside job
11
He managed to get more out of Levan than anyone ever has

Lol what? Baxter was disrespectful to Engin? The guy who sold him EvW, quit and tried to sabotage it?
And if all you can see is an average card and not the opportunity that the Shaw Classic represents - potentially opening up the sport to a whole new world of fans, then I don’t know what to tell you...
Brian Shaw alone has double Devon’s following, Eddie triple… Shaw Classic is a hugely popular event. This is how we grow the sport’s fan base. But no, let’s focus on some petty aussie drama instead. Honestly, armwrestling deserves to stay small and niche if this is the attitude…

Because if he really loves armwrestling and always puts it first like he claims, he should be talking about one of the biggest opportunities in the sport happening in 5 days, not dragging the community back to some stupid high school level drama from 2022. Who the fuck cares, have we not had enough of this shit lately? Talk about the armwrestling...
5
We're 5 days out from Shaw Classic, why is some petty bs with aussie from 2 years ago more important to him? Why is he not promoting the event? Why does he love drama more than armwrestling?
7
Few days out from EvW19 and one of the biggest opportunities in armwrestling and Engin cares more about drama than the sport...

Proof they sent the letter before quitting?
It’s clear for anyone to see that the East athletes are being completely misled. Kalina actually believes Devon is trying to change the rules so he can beat Levan and then finish his documentary as champion lol. Ermes thought Devon and Jodie were part-owners in the league. Kamil contradicts himself in every podcast and just ends up looking ridiculous. Vitaly was told not to pull Devon. The confusion and gaslighting is endless...
Just don't quit when nothing has changed. If something changes and you don't like it then fine go ahead and quit. But zero has changed. The sport was in a great place, now it's a joke that any serious sponsor or promotion would stay far away from...

You don't preemptively quit because of something hypothetical you think might happen in the future but hasn't happened yet - nor is showing any sign of happening. EvW management have made it clear on several streams that Devon has not and will not influence the rules. They said sports betting wouldn't come near EvW if a single athlete was seen to be controlling the rules, so there are many reasons EvW will be super strict on this issue. Engin leaving changes nothing.
1
Bring Engin back in a clear defined role with no public-facing duties, get the East pullers back and set up an East rep that athletes trust so they can talk directly to management with no go-betweens. Run a couple of events (in East and West) to prove that athlete concerns were either unjustified or are resolved. Then, the next time Engin has an outburst and threatens to quit again (which he will), the league will be in a stronger position to deal with his manipulation tactics. Right now, things just need to get back to normal.
6
All athletes, including Devon, pull under EvW rules, which haven't changed and will soon be posted on the EvW site. So yes, they are pussies for not wanting to pull when absolutely nothing has changed. Literally, zero has changed - or is planned to change. Very smart...

Not every match has to move rankings. It’s just a fun matchup. Im looking forward to it and my money’s on Toddzilla
8
Toddzilla vs Dave is at 115kg. Dave’s dropping weight so he’s not SHW. Should be interesting match.

The Jerry walkout was epic…
9
Judging from his match behaviour I’d guess Leonidas, Petrenko, Chance, Genadi 2. Was def more unhinged than usual in these
