Just looking at National titles (AAA or Unifieds), I count 26 titles for Norm -- 15 in open classes and 11 in masters classes. I don't believe he's won a WAF world title.

Craziness. Specially since he started when he was 35.. I'm pretty sure he won a few can ams back when they were big too. Thanks for the info!

Good names & points on this thread here... I just don't know how to get to 5. Too many great armwrestlers get left out. ^X2........not sure if best 20 would solve the task.. ;D Has Engin been pulling 20? As far as what i could catch during the years Josh...Yes....he said that he started around 90-91 if i am not mistaking...and won his first world title 94(when he was 20 Years) hope.. i remember correctly. So that would be more than 20 years now. Just looking at National titles (AAA or Unifieds), I count 26 titles for Norm -- 15 in open classes and 11 in masters classes. I don't believe he's won a WAF world title. Mr. Norm Devio is a true inspiration and a great Ambassador of the sport. He is 1 of those that i would be honored to maximum, if i can meet him someday...regarding that he started Armwrestling in his mid/late 30s...other success-task then winning a WAF title is important in my view to be determined as 1 of the best. Specially points like longevity in this sport came in to play...and he is on his game successfully til today in his 70s....(thats not more then 20..that's 35 years of Armwrestling) if that is not success to be mentioned as 1 of the best !?!, then i really don´t know what is. good discussions btw... cyl.

I'm glad Mr. Brown already said it, because I was starting to lose hope for common sense. If Rustam Babyev doesn't make that list (think WAF domination), I don't know who else would.

The original question asked about American pullers who still compete and have at least 20 years in the sport.
