Liam Kirby of Deathgrip Armwrestling Club ran a novice warzone last weekend & kindly supplied the results meaning that I can promote two of the participants to Pro Status - Jordan Shelton & Mindaugas Puidokas. Congratulations. I'm reviewing another few - sometimes it's context & lack of information that prevents promotion. If you think you've been overlooked, let me know. Have a look at the progression page for how it all works.

ARMGODS ENGLAND has a full card of fun for their event in BALSALL COMMON COVENTRY on Saturday 6th June. Some close matches are scheduled, I've talked to a few people on the phone who are going to be there & I'm looking forward to the battles. Daniel Constantine vs Reuben Hughes, Adrian Popescu vs Murray Whitehead, Mantas Dauneckis vs Mindaugas Dulskas, were the ones that I'm most intrigued with - sometimes I have an opinion, other times not. Often friends are against each other & I don't have a favourite. I've been round the block enough to know nothing is certain. Champions can make mistakes, the underdog may have improved greatly whilst remaining unnoticed & everyone has circumstances outside of sport that affect their performance on the day. We shall have to see. Tickets & online viewing via www.armgods.com

​​

Armagh Geddon Armwrestling have been promoting a number of events this year with the latest being the Siege of Dagda which is on 27th June. Full details have been added to the events calendar. 

​​

There are four more PAA Regional warzones scheduled. Next one is NEWCASTLE on JULY 4th. That's the day when the big spaceships hover over the cities. Competitors might need to wear tinfoil hats just in case. ​​​

​​

Summerslam is 18th July in SUSSEX. Be beside the seaside & get your arm cranked whilst eating the barbecue & dip in the sea after. 

​​​​

We have representatives striking out abroad before & after the Euros:

​​​​

Tom Holland is taking on Justin Bishop in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA on 6th June. Tom is no stranger to battling the yanks & whilst he has been on other big name promotions I think that this is his first on East vs West. Good luck Tom. 

​​

​On the same card, Bogdan Stoica is the next opponent of Todd Hutchings. I've followed Bogdan on his escapades abroad & seen him demolish highly rated opponents first hand in Ireland & America. I'm a big fan of Toddzilla so it's a dream match. Good luck with it Bogdan, wish him the best why don't you?​​

​​​

Mateusz Matuszczak has been in touch, he is taking part in the first event of Strong Armwrestling League (SAL) in Poland on 31st May in a Vendetta against Polish champ Kuksa. He's been doing well recently after returning from a long layoff so good luck Mateusz.

See you down the road.
