Larratt is one of the only guys who beats him on a regular basis after the inicial hit. I don´t think there´s anyone in the world at the moment as good as Devon on holding and wearing opponents down. But Larratt is a natural heavy, so Hutching´s is strenght is awesome.
@@adamstein7302 If Todd gets him of the inicial start it may, but if Devon holds Todd up Todd looses. On the long run Todd looses. On the long run Todd already lost. There aren't many people in the world who can stand with Laratt when the game is on after the inicial hit. Todd's side pressure is amazing but Laratt's hold is just a brick wall. Also, regarding the talk about the kings move, I also don't agree with that move, and if I made the rules that move would be banned, but so would be the "lay on the opponent arm with all body weight" like Bresnan, Chaffe and even Todd do sometimes - for example. Larrat is simply using what the rules allow to get past his worst so he can get to his best.
ryan, still to date this is one of the best recorded videos of armwrestling... Legends on legends here with the best possible camera angle. thank you bro.
Thanks for posting this up. Really interesting to see the Eastern and Western pullers against each other. It's like Marvel Vs. DC. - you realize how everyone matches up.
WAL should take a note of the no nonsense refereeing. Fair and square. No element of entertainment or marketing of personalities involved. True sport. True wins. Purity intact.
It's looks great in highlights. Too bad if you watched the whole event you'd see how annoying it is that nearly every match was "Go! Stop!" over and over
Epic Action! Great work with the cam Ryan, thanks for bringing us the highlights. Feel bad for Bishop and Konstantinov, they had rough a day. Would love to see Prudnyk and Mask in a supermatch. The hits would be insane
This Makaaev is so ludacrious and miserable with all his pointings and the rest of it... But probably over the years, after he faces some Chafee-s and others, gona learn some humbleness
He is always like that and I don't think he could change, it's his ATTITUDE. Makeev competes in this sport for years already and he got high level results. But yeah, he's a cocky jerk-ass .
Ye...I do not really like that style. The only person who I can take any shit from is Bagent, but he is not just a BS but a great showman....but this Makeev is a different story....I hate these type of ppls
Agreed. He is probably the armwrestler I dislike the most. A grown man who complains like a child every single match. Doesnt matter if he wins, losses or theres a re-start, he will complain every single time.
it's really sad to think that this was Pushkar's last tournament and that at any moment you could leave, in his case fate wanted him to be involved in that damn accident, 2 months later, unaware of the fact that he would disappear, it's really horrible. You will remain one of the best ever. What you brought to the world of arm wrestling no one will forget. Goodbye friend. RIP Andrey Pushkar.🕊❤
I disagree. These guys were calling hairline movements elbow fouls. I mean, Pushkar had Trubin beat fair and square. I like that they do ref's grip every time though.
Not true. Todd probably had beatup tendons and a beatup elbow that didn't get full recovery. These are very important aspects when it comes to stopping a strong hit from an opponent. And we all know what happens when Todd stops a hit.
@@kasparov9 I'm not sure if levan lives as close as they do. But yeah he can't compete with the top guys in this tournament. He better just prep for November
It's a common theme in the armwrestling world, has Levan ever pulled Andrey? Levan is enjoying some success of late but he is yet to pull the best on earth and this was a prime opportunity, it's not like there are 10 elite events every year. I reckon he's ducking Pushkar, he doesn't want to get embarrassed. Wherever Andrey isn't, Levan goes there. And when Andrey is there Levan is a no show.
Great video, thanks for uploading. Can you please put the weightclasses and names of the pullers on future videos? It would greatly help beginners like me.
Crazy to see how many amazing pullers there are at heavyweight. Used to just be Hutchings and Kostadinov. Now there's Prudnik, Babaev, Makeev...all complete studs.
makeev seems like a lil whiney bitch about everything. pointing to the pin pad when it wasnt even close, like cmon buddy. he is definitely good but just quit bitching.
Who is the guy that top rolled Genadi? German or Swedish Sounding. Coolest combo of pullers I think I've seen at this tournament. Thanks for sharing Blue
Vladislavs krasovskis vs Justin Bishop, what happened? In video I only see a foul or something and the match ended with Vladislavs victory?? You need edit in the way whole match show up continually in video, not half of it. Great video anyway! Thanks man. Did Todd Hutching have a match against Vladislavs? or Prunik vs Vladislavs?..
If Larat and "under the table" match was here it would be 3-0 Larrat easy....I don't know why you and Brzenk never say anything positive bout Larrat? Great vid and keep up the good work
The guy never showed up to a Zloty and never will. He's not a complete puller. He's a supermatch puller. In a tournament he would be flashed every time.
8:35 lmao.. I was like "wtf" when I saw that live. And how quick Ayello got off the stage after that .. like "okay let's get out of here before something even worse happens" :D
Ryan you asked Travis about Moldova and Oleg and he said that he's ready, then at the opening you asked him about a match with Oleg, and he said that he hoped Andrey tires Oleg first before he has to pull him, then he just doesn't compete? Did you find this strange that he pulled out after making a big deal about the whole Moldova thing?

A better job than the live broadcast! Whoever was controlling which match to view was clearly not an armwrestler!!! Who was the guy you beat Ryan? Ive never seen him before. Vadim Stetsyuk i have tho 😉
I don't like the way they do elbow fouls here. For example, if you don't get the position you want, you can elbow foul and try again. Even if your opponent was going to win that round. 8:45 was a good example of this. Give him the runner and give him fouls if he stays there until he loses. Anyway: Trubin taking a win over Pushkar - Huuuge for Trubin. Been following him on instagram and the dude has gained what looks like 50 lbs this year alone. Lookin jacked. Pudnik looking crazy strong in his division. He's a high hook master but his top roll is looking NASTY Todd did fantastic. I'm curious if he would have done even better if he hadn't had that war with Barboza just last week. Keep up the documentation, Ryan! :D
Yeah, he's way too strong in his weight class (65 - 70) but the guy who pinned him I don't even recognize at all. What a speed of youth raising in arm wresting...
@@Lunarpollo5622 lol, the video you mentioned came AFTER I post a comment here. Now I watched all of his videos in youtube already. Check the time of original comments and posts, dude.
Strange to think that Pushkar is gone from this world, and we may not see Oleg pull again at this level...😪😪
If Hutchings catches your hit, you lose
Unless he's pulling Todd who'll just tickle his bollocks for the whole thing

Travis Bagent is The Beast.
@@TheLuminousOne not beast but clown
Anyone who can bend Sasho in half like that is definitely a beast. Todd is an animal.
Andreys presence is so far beyond regular people. He’s such a big dude and I mean besides physically.

lol keep watching. you're gonna be mad bored.
Wow! Look at all these legends all at one event! Never even heard of Maldova
Это нечто стока звёзд сразууу!
dude, this is such an amazing video... the perfect angle and some of the best pullers in the world facing each other.
omfg i love this, i could watch these matches for hours.
Epic Action! Great work with the cam Ryan, thanks for bringing us the highlights. Feel bad for Bishop and Konstantinov, they had rough a day. Would love to see Prudnyk and Mask in a supermatch. The hits would be insane

How about this reffing, beautiful.
Love the vid thanks for your time and effort ... stuff like this and the show def get people more interested in such a kick ass sport!!!
Many sons of Perun. Nice to see the mix. Appreciate the refereeing. Respect from Canada.
Toddzilla is the boss)
yes, he's amazing, he won most of matches even though last week he was in war with marcio
His strength for his weight (and age) is incredible. The only time I ever see him lose is if he gets flashed.
Incredible how strong he is for a mid 50yr old dude..he just beat freaking Barboza last week and then he owns Krazimir and like 3 other guys
He's mega strong, John always raves about his side pressure.
@@26Noire yea he's also much heavier you idiot.
Damn have not seen this matches before. What a great crew! Thanks for a video! Pushkar was a beast!
Thank you, Ryan! You were the best operator in this poorly streamed tournament.
Thank you brother :) really glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Poorly streamed? Wtf are you on about? It was in 1080p and ran through perfectly smooth. Camera setup / cutting was also good.
Yes, indeed all of that was a top notch. What I meant, was that the cameraman didn`t show the important matches at all.
Ryan did you end up pulling anyone famous? What class were you in, 85-95kg?
Damn these guys in Moldova don't play around with fouls. Really strict referees, I like that.
Best referees I've ever seen outside the WAF World Championship. No doubt.
European refs are on top of their game. WAL needs that.
I want todd here😂
How's that a 2nd elbow foul for pushkar at the end? Where the hell was this ref for Devon vs Todd??
bart is a joke

Best tournament I've ever seen. Great lineup! Way way way better than Vendetta. 100%!!!
Jordan Tsonev looks very strong and clever, gives everyone a good fight.
So many grate matches in one tournament 👏👏👏
Todd did great, and most of those guys showed great sportsman-ship, well *most* of them did anyway :p
not Makeev

couldnt agree more.
We need another event like this. Just awesome

Hey WAL, please take notes on the refereeing.
All great players in one
Great vid, Ryan! Thank you! I don't like that game of speed though, whoever starts faster wins.... Leaves too much room for borderline false starts.
Yeah Prudnik and Makeev try to flash everyone. Prudnik is ok but Makeev is the king of False Starts

Awesome.

8:35 lmao.. I was like "wtf" when I saw that live. And how quick Ayello got off the stage after that .. like "okay let's get out of here before something even worse happens" :D
indicates the power of Pushkar - Ayello is no joke but got beaten like a child by AP
Yep, expected more resistance from Ayello even if he isn't world class. Where did you watch it live?
They had a livestream on RUclips. 1080p and everything. It was perfect. Huge props to Moldova Cup.
@@Lieutenant_Scrotes 2 years late, but Ayello probably didn't resist because he knew it was pointless and he might as well save his energy.
Nice video, Thanks
Amazing video , what else can I say
Thank you Brother
What a tournament lol great footage bru...
Тод просто красавец)))
Sasho looks like his arm is going to break so deep in the hook like that. Scary.
Yes and he ALWAYS pull like this. That man is gonna suffer an elbow injury some day
Pushkar didnt foul!!!in my opinion i mean com e on!!! But thank u for the video great matches!!! I cant wait for my turn 👍🏻
Awesome referees!!! Great edit!
Трубин брат ЛУДШИЙ
These table pads are so much better than those in wal.
Moldova 2018... the best from arm wrestling...
Did you commentate the live show Ryan ?
One of last fight for legend Andrey...
Prudnik is a beast! Wow
Trubin made about 25% face gains
I'm impressed some guys were able to beat Todd Hutchings
How did you fair on the day?
Toddzilla for a reason, the king of all monster the king of side pressure, he is too stronggggg
If Todd train to stop top roll better he will be unstoppable.
I kept waiting to see you rip toddzillas arm off ryan lol keep up the great content as always love the show 💪👍🤙✌🤘😎
Ryan has nothing for Todd. Don't know what youre talking about lol.

He's a bitch imo, doesn't really compete against anyone prevalent but talks like he's the shit.
I like this sport, there's no blood and no violence
- Thank You Ryan
ryan, you got more air-time than anyone on the live stream...XD
the fact justin bishop is there is a testament to his progress as an armwrestler
Does anyone know how tall rustam is? People said he's 175, but he aint looks taller than Sasho andreev which is only 163
I can't believe there are some arm wrestlers out there who can flash todlzilla in his weight class😅
Todzilla just need to improve his start to break those morons.
In my opinion Todd was just worn out in the last few matches. He did beat some very tough opponents. Not including the very recent war with Barboza.
Há algo mais Um amor uma Luz morons?
He's stronger than the entire weight class. Just a tad too slow
Wow, what a tournament
Good quality.
Fkn love toddzilla man. He's such an amazing arm wrestler. Respectful, strong as fuuuuck for his weight? My God he's a fricking monster.
What was Travis Bagent excuse for not entering the tournament???
Derick Hilton trubin, zhok and pushkar
hahahahahah xD
He had an exhibition match with John Brzenk.

who won this round?
Prudnik looking strong as hell.
Until he met Pushkar. That was over within about a milisecond :)
Yeah... But Pushkar is also in another weight class and I always expect him to dominate.

i wonder if krasi thought it was a pin against toddzilla and kinda let off the gas. either way, todd is a monster at 50 plus years old. crazy strong.
I think once Krasimr figured out Todd stopped him he gave up since it is pointless to go into a hook war with Hutchings.

Todd, Both times his opponent had a jump on him.
