Come March next year I am hoping to hit MGC (If nothing crazy happens to me between now and then). In the mean time I got my eyes set on Vegas in Aug and WEM in Oct. As for how everyone is being ranked I do believe Mike, Earl, Devon, Sylvain, etc.. do deserve a top spot. I have not had the luxury of getting to pull them yet but if I continue to stay injury free (in my right) and con't to keep training as we have been for the last 4 months you can bet your behind I will be gunning for them. Only time will tell. As for Tyrell I believe he is being hard on himself and deserves a higher ranking than he gave himself (another one I would like to face up against soon). Another person I believe deserves a spot on the list is Mark Mcphail if caught on a good day is a force for anybody to deal with. Cant wait to see what the next year brings. I got the bug back again more than ever and not going anywhere for awhile. Looking forward to climbing higher up that list as time goes on;)

Dan Kadlec played with my right after pulling, and I have no clue about The Grippler, but I'd beat John and Allen easy.  You know I beat Kadlec 3-0 right? |

i think the grippler is underated in every list so far. i dont know the pullers outside ontario so well but the ones in ontario i do know. based on that i think he should be higher on every list right handed. john shame on u for not even thinking he is in the top 25! Oops, guess I forgot him. Is he even competing any more? |

East vs west. That's all ill say! Only a hand full of pullers from the west showed up this year to Nats. Just like only a few from the east showed up to Vancouver. When I pulled tamblyn and skodtaev in 2010 Allen could not beat them at that time. I get it that Allen is stronger than before however a lot of people are better and stronger than they were in 2010. The east look at Mgc for rankings which is a great tournament but full of eastern pullers only for the most part. I have attended 1 mgc and won that as well. How many wem tournaments has Allen won? Or when was the last time he attended a western tournament other than Nats in Winnipeg? Do you ever sound jealous of Ford. |

Call it what you want John. I just can't believe that after sylvain wiped the floor with allen that you guys still think that he is capable of even competing with such pullers as mask or tyrrell. You guys are living in a dream world.

I do think Allen would be the favourite against any of the pullers between Bjorn and Janek. Allen has flashed me every time we've pulled in the past two years. He had wars with Rick Heidebrecht last summer. I really believe he's top ten in the country. I can think of 20 people in western Canada that can beat Allen Ford. So top 10 in the country if crazy! Maybe top 40 or 50 You make this statement and accuse others of living in a dream world? I can only think you're trolling because it's hard for me to believe that you're serious. We've never met so I don't know your sense of humor... perhaps you're sitting back and laughing. In which case that's kinda funny in itself. |

Del:
Allen first pulled Anatoly in 2008, and while Anatoly did win, it was a war. Allen next pulled him at the 2010 MGC and won. He also beat him at the 2011 MGC. You're right about Brian, though. He didn't beat him until 2011.
Not many western pullers travel to eastern Nationals, and not many eastern pullers travel to western Nationals. It's an expensive trip, and usually there is no money to be won (this year hopefully being the first of many exceptions). I get that. But the MGC remains the event that has the best chance of attracting top talent, with the level of prize money offered and it being in Toronto.
You did attend the 2006 MGC and left quite an impression winning a super-stacked 187-lb class. You finished ahead of more top calibre athletes than I'm pretty sure have ever been in a WEM class. Dubreuil, Dall'Antonia, Eaton, Iszakouits, Lengyel, etc... I'm hoping the WEM event will eventually rival the MGC, but for now, the MGC remains the more prestigious event.
And I'm confident that with Perron's current shape, the matches he had with Allen a few weeks ago probably wouldn't have looked much different if they were with Tyrrell or Matt. If you get a chance to see video from Sylvain's matches at last year's SuperShow event, or from the 2010 Quebec Enduro Open, you may understand why I feel this way.

I do laugh a lot when I read your posts john. Maybe you and your buddy allen will take a road trip in October to WEM? Then we can all finally figure out this who's better than who crap or are you guys going to make me wait till next march for MGC?

Eric, you're feeding the trolls.
Logic does not apply, don't try to use it.
