Gene Camp got a call from a Body building website that films shows and wanted us to be on it. (kinda like the arm TV for power lifters and body builders) we . Bobby Butaffucco, Eric Dwyer Mike Ayeillo and myself arrive to do the show.. It was not too long into it, waiting for our turn to go on when the announcer was interviewing some legend power lifter and asked the guy don't you have some experience in armwrestling? Well the guy starts going off about how he was challenged by 2 previous NY state champions in a bar and how not only did he toss the guys around but he ended up getting in a brawl because the armwrestlers got so mad it started a fight...and as the guy said he proceeded to beat the guys senseless. now me bobby and Eric where in the other room listening to this crap and could not believe our ears...So when it was our time to come in Bobby who I have known for 10 years and never seen him lose his cool proceeds to call the (900 pound bench press guy a liar and if he thinks he can walk out of the gym and beat a real arm wrestler he must be on some sort of drugs..Bobby makes him get on the table and proceeds to treat him like a child wrestling daddy. The guy was dropping F bombs and saying how he beats everyone up before we walked on and after he was as quite as a mouse thanks to this 57 year old stranger that just whooped his ass...Priceless.. When it airs if they show that part I will pass on the link LMAO!!

Loved it too . Its funny how Powerlifters automatically think they can armwrestle. I admit some i met were fairly strong in the 80's but usually lacked wrist .

After Dan ripped a deck of cards in half and bent a few frying pans he passed a deck of cards to the bodybuilder guy who said he beat the two NY State arm-wrestlers - Too funny watching him try go rip the cards.

Having competed in Powerlifting, strongman and armwrestling I can honestly say that armwrestling has FAR more skill and technique that the others! Great story!!!
