Has Eddie done any arm wrestling training at all though? I mean I get it in terms of "big names" and whatnot, but if Brian crushes him it proves nothing.

I think Shaw explains it pretty well in that vid, it's his intro to armwrestling supermatches and he's looking forward to being around all the big names at this event. I bet the afterpull is going to be crazy and hopefully we get to see some shitty phone vids of those matches. I do wonder if Shaw can handle the amount of partying those armwrestlers do, he seems like a pure as the wind driven snow kinda guy.

Shaw was one of the more technical strongmen... so I have a feeling he'll be a problem in arm wrestling.

Obviously hes miles stronger than everyone... but his attention to detail should really shorten the road to becoming great.

How long do you think before Brian is pulling top guys? 1 year? 2 years? 3?

I think he'd wreck anyone today, maybe even Levan. He's already the strongest person out there and once he gets comfortable he's not getting pinned by anyone, imo.

What is TMMACers thoughts on KOTT 12? I'm fairly new to following arm wrestling so my views might be wrong but:

Seemed like this whole card was a bunch of mismatches? Most matches were shutouts.
Devon was literally playing with Leonidas. No threat at all. It was impressive actually since Leonidas gave John a bit of trouble at the last EvW.
Corey dominated Travis at EvW and then had almost nothing for Kamil, shows just how far Travis has fallen. Which seemed weird why Devon would call him out. Obviously Devon is not the best in the world anymore but he's still up there, Travis is no where near that level anymore?
Auden is annoying as hell. He had no chance of losing but he was playing stupid meaningless games during the setup and complaining nonstop. Just shut the hell up and win like we know you will. Just trying to get more attention on himself? Fucking gen Zers.
I forget his name but the little twitchy guy probably impressed me the most. Didn't think he would dominate like that but I've also never watched him before.

They can’t all be bangers. Promoters are putting on events that setup the future and keep viewers interested between big shows. Kinda like this UFC PPVs which are duds compared to a HW championship show. We still watch them.

I'm new to following the sport but even to me that sounds like far too short of a timeframe.
I’m sure promoters would love to string out the Brian Shaw arm wrestling saga as long as they can but if they can’t find someone to at least make him work for a win then he’ll be champ in a year.

I fucking hate kings move.
I respect Toddzilla's approach in that way, straight sidepressure....and everyone not in North America.
I want to see everyone in the eastern bloc train that against M.Todd, Devon & the likes.

"King's" move.
Bitch move more like it.
But...whatever.
