ONLY TRAVIS BAGENT CAN DO THIS 

I like how dave is used as a strength test for armwrestlers 😂 he's so strong and so active, so using dave for scale is valid

"The only armwrestler to never commit a single elbow foul" what a legend...

That travis jump after pinning Dave 😂😂😂😂😂

The thing that was special that year 2016 was that his father died and he decided to go full beast mode, full commitment like never before in his honor. It was in Neil Pickup's fix once if im not mistaken.. Kinda cool story.

I think the Travis style of toprolling is the most efficient way of armwrestling possible.

Yes 2016 travis was something you can’t imagine the way he defeated Dave Chaffee wow even ermes wasn’t able to defeat Dave like that 2016 version of travis can beat ermes with that start easily 😂 he is the biggest entertainer of arm wrestling even Devon laratt learned trash talk from him ❤

I'm glad someone else said this, if you're a puller you can tell that this travis is another level.

I gotta say, the most incredible thing in this video is seeing Krasimir Kostadinov DEFEATING Levan. Wow.

I miss Travis, he was outstanding just a force of nature.

I can't quite fly yet, but i am the closest thing to a superhero as u will find. - Travis Bagent.

Honestly travis is that one guy whose style just makes sense. And the way he teaches people how to armwrestle makes more sense and is great for beginners. I recommend everyone to watch travis and todzilla's seminars. They honestly make more sense than devon.

Two other Travis moments that stood out to me is when he was at John Brzenks house casually pulling, and John and Vlad couldn’t even move him. Also when he annihilated Georgi that was incredible.

Travis is an absolute OG legend armwrestler. And to top it off he is wildly entertaining!

7:22 the legendary Brisbane 8 can't be compered to lowly mortals.

If you're someone who's played college sports at a high-level, you learn to appreciate Travis. His coaching style emulates that of great position coaches in football. This is an amazing video dude, thanks for all the good content. Wish I could've been around during Travis's peak

I love how Travis made Devon shut up. Finally he found a greater trashtalker than him

Travis is an actual phenom that doesn’t get enough respect.

Travis is what every armwrestler wants to be. Have an amazing career on both arms, be the best, beat the best, retire healthy. Now he's just enjoying life with his family

2016 Pushkar was scary also

Yeah i Agree in 2016 Travis was Crushing everyone i wish he would Get back at %100

Travis is a legend probably the greatest left arm in history at his peak . We need Travis the sport needs Travis!!!

I remember that Chaffee match and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Really wish Travis could have stayed at that level for a while.

You forget another Chaffee match I think in 2016 or 2017. Travis was so dominant he beat Dave in a hook VERY comfortably just holding him {INSANE}. Travis himself said it was one of his greatest peaks. However, he said in an interview the best shape in his entire life was in 2005 in Japan when he faced a 40 year old 250 pound PRIME Brzenk, the match ended 3-2 for John, and Travis said only John could've beat him that day.

Loved watching Travis wrestle when i was growing up, his intensity was crazy. He probably juiced in 2016 given the notable improvement.

Travis is an excellent play-by-play announcer now. But it would be sweet to see a comeback on the table. 🔥

Travis Bagent just might be one of the most underappreciated greats ever.

I wish Travis would come back stronger than ever I definitely think he could beat anyone.

When he doesn't try he's basically a bag blowing in the wind, when he tries even a little bit he completely wrecks people.

Man is the funniest guy Love him

Awesome content! Travis is so slept on these days

I love travis i wish he would make a huge comeback. Hes an awesome arm wrestler

I can't believe this footage was found! I've been looking all over for it. Great video

Travis Bagent had the potential to be best all time and maybe him saying he’s #1 in his all time top 5 isn’t so crazy after all.

Loved this video!

I really fucking love the shit you do man. Brilliant.

Emmes vs Bagent, both arm tournament for a week!!! Best of 7 days.

Travis is good with helping his boy become an NFL pro.. way more important not only money wise but family too

Not only was Travis a monster during his prime, he was also entertaining as fuck, full of energy, aggressiveness, was a pleasure to watch him destroy most opponents while dancing and bobbing around while screaming.

Travis "The Beast" Bagent.... Would absolutely love to see him take it seriously again! I really think he could dominate again!! Arm wrestling can always use a talent like Travis! Especially with his personality!!👍👍

If Travis offered a lot of money I'm sure he can go through all the top 5 with ease I hope someone offer him a lot of money to make a come back

When I found out about Travis it was on a Discovery channel special about him and he was world champion on both right and left arms. I was blown away. I didn’t know that was possible. They had measured the force he created with his right hand hit was some huge amount of lbs of force and I think it was a world record. That made me respect him despite him acting out all the time lol

Exactly. I get a little irritated when Travis is left out of "GOAT" discussions because he is, and will always be, a legend in the sport.

Such awesomeness 💪💪💪

As far as Travis in 2016, absolutely that was his best most dedicated prepared form hes been in. Would be so interesting if we could time travel and have him compete with Ermes and Levans best form because hes right up there with them and Devon vs Levan imo and Denis as well as the best armwrestlers at their competition that I have seen. And yeah the WAL setup was a leanient and he could get an extra bit in with his elbow forward and load up right before the go but still what he did was insane because that is Dave Chaffee and nobody that I know of or have seen has done that to Dave like you said. It could look very similar to Ermes vs Levan if Travis were to face him because its the hand and backpressure that would dictate the match and Levans hand is just huge. I think if he would beat Levan it also wouldnt be able to be fast, it would have to be a longer match where they work. I really think it would look a lot like Ermes vs Levan but he would do better and probably win on that day. It also would matter if he can pull without his hand to think about it

This was yrs ago but good to see good video bro

7:22: I see, what you did there. xD

Always been my favorite puller. Sad he’ll never comeback.

Absolutely agree. Travis was a monster in 2016 and very few people give him the credit for what he did to Dave. No one has ever done that to Dave EVER

ive seen a few of your videos and as soon as you commented about travis and his infamous elbows I had to laugh, thank you dude haha, made my day a little better to be honest

I started watching during the Travis era. His trash talk was something back then. Travis even said he was talking so arm wrestling could gain more fans, and with more fans, they could all get paid more.

That rare 2016 WAL footage blew me away 😲. Have NEVER seen it before and at the time I remember wondering what happened to Travis. Was a treat to watch

This is an absolute beast of a video 👏

When I first started watching arm wrestling and saw that match between him and Devon I immediately thought this guy was one of the best. I love his attitude and he's hilarious especially as a commentator. I think he's one of the few that could slay Levan.

Bro I wasn’t ready for the Ryan Bowen pun lolol

1:25 hilarious😂😂😂

That’s the year his dad passed away and he said that he got freakishly strong, still my favorite puller to this day!

Old is Gold ...Voevoda, Travis, John itp...

Travis has amazing timing, that's what most people don't look deep into. Before you're ready he's already won. Also in 2016, he pulled Jerry out of his press position which is extremely hard. (LH)

halarious vid man!!

Travis Bagent the legend. "STAND UP SO I CAN WIN!!"

He has more than one win over peak peak prime Voevoda for bloody sakes, wins over Brzenk, Larrat, Cadorette, Chafee ,Georegy, I think Lupkes as well?just that alone is an amazing resume, then there is a ton more on top of that including rematches some lost most won etc etc. Wait was that him tearing through fricking Pushkar to? bloody hell man.

As much as I love Devon, but I'd be rooting for Travis against anyone in his comeback ^^

Agreed 100% Travis was a beast!

That All mighty Bowen #1 reference though!!!

Travis was one of the greatest ever against some of the best Armwrestlers in the sport's history

Travis' secret ability was mind control. He somehow manages to lift his elbow 1" from the pad on the GO and the refs never noticed XD

Baffles me that a lot of people don't know just how high of a calibre Travis was in the past. But I think a lot of new fans were not around in his peak. I remember his glory days. Imagine 2016 Travis vs Ermes. Would be one hell of a fight

One of the best left arm to pull

Come on travis we need a comeback

Yeah the only guy you're really missing in that timeframe is Pushkar. He did run through Dave just as easily as Travis (more cleanly, for what that's worth) the year before at A1. Travis beat Pushkar years prior when he was still young, it's very hard to say whether this peaked-out Travis would've been able to match Pushkar at his best.

So true... new fans JUST DONT KNOW, Travis is one of the best to ever do it...

"Violently" is a good word for Travis.

Elbow foul clip made my day 😂

2016 Travis' dad died, Larratt said 2016 was Travis' best/strongest year ever I think

I agree. IMHO, Travis Bagent is the most awesome overall, in the world. And yes, it’s just that he did not take the sport nearly as serious as others. Many of these other guys have been full time, all-the time arm wrestlers. Bagent did this for fun. That’s all. He just enjoyed it. But his life all these years, has been full of other elements that take up his time. His farm, his family, etc.

The problem with Travis is that he wants to live longer and have a healthy life

I think Travis is one of the best to ever do it. If he would put 100% into training for about two years, I think he would have a really good chance of beating Levan! He would have to get on gear….. but everybody that’s on top in this industry is on gear!

Love how there's just a floppy band-aid between Ermes and Daves hands

You make a great argument. Hard to dispute.

Travis was so good especially for the sport...

That blue balls Bowen moment made me laugh 😂

I discovered Travis in the documentary Pulling John. He made Armwrestling exciting. Game of arms should of kept going. It was a cool Armwrestling reality tv show where Travis and Dave Chaffee battled forever in the finale

Travis is now more a Commentator and shit...he is good at it :D

Best there’s ever been

7:21 I see what you did there. That was good. I bet Ryan would enjoy that. He needs to come across this video.

I wish Travis would come back and remind them.

Great video! Wanted to click out and go do some chores but was stuck to the screen. Lol

Andrey Pushkar was destroying Denis, Brzenk, and Chafee in 2015. Pushkar ran through all 3 like they were beginners. R. I. P. Andrey

It wasn't just 2016. It happened many times in Travis's career were even the other top level arm wrestlers at the time said no one in the world could of beat Travis at that time. 2003 against Alexey voevoda, 2005 against Tim bresnan, 2006 against Farid Usmanov and Andrey Pushkar in same day.

Travis was smart to nail Jerry in the center . That is where Devon got the idea on how to best pull Jerry.

2016 Travis was one of the strongest arm wrestlers ever. I think he was definitely #1

lol the insert of ryan bowen. i see what you did haaha

Smartest and best!

I think you got a good point there!

Even 2017 and 2018 Travis looked very good. Just as good imo. He said he was doing those Cooper tire shows and he armwrestled, played with sledge hammer and 45 pound plates for 10 hours a day. 16,17,18 I think he was different. He looked huge vs Georgi

Pushkar flashed Chaffee too. Also Travis said his best shape was against John in 2005 Japan.

4:15 that elbow is flying out the pad 😂

Let's not forget that Travis just spent about 4 years getting his son to reach the highest level of pro-football on the planet. He can very easily get back into the conversation. But he's going to have to want it! It isn't going to happen by accident! But best believe, if there's anyone capable of a successful comeback, it's definitely Travis!

Travis, matt mask and taras ivakin were toproll monsters back then.

I think 2016 Travis was certainly in the top 5 of all time peaks in armwrestling. One thing to consider is the WAL setups against Dave Chaffee. I don't think he would have won quite like that in a more strict set-up.
