wow thats a perfect iron cross

[MrArbitrager]

@bigboobspecial I think it has been, since its on their site as the longest hold

[bigboobspecial]

@MrArbitrager It does say "pending acceptance". Do we know if it was accepted?

[MrArbitrager]

@BearJewTX completely agree with you mate. This is obviously still very impressive, but what are records if they don't specify rigid rules?

tyler yamaguchi deserves to retain the title

[PROMAXOIMACEDONIA]

so many people jealous of one guy!now i am sure that this guy did a great job....come on dudes get on the rings and do the job better!its easy to talk when u are in your couch right?

This is crap, that is the worst cross I have ever seen Tyler Yamauchi for sure did better and held the actual position.

first of all a cross is supposed to be level right??which he was for like 20 seconds and then starts doing ymca bullsh*t for the last 10 seconds...doesnt count buddy....

[kpadera]

this is a terrible cross...the previous holder held an actual cross the entire time, not a "Y" position.

From the guinness world record site:

"A proper iron cross requires the body to be rigid with arms at a 90-degree angle to the body and parallel to the floor. "

He was well below 90-degrees for at least the last 1/3rd of his cross. This record should still belong to the previous holder in my opinion.
