Those pics are priceless!!! It dont even look like a AW match when mike todd does that. I dont like it and wish there was a rule put in effect to keep guys like mike todd from going there. I hope someone standing in the crowd told him to stand up and armwrestle and get off knees under the table!!!!

I believe it's only against the rules in a losing position. In these pics he is in neutral position, or so it looks.

see time 18:22 arm rests on his elbow or on the triceps ? Haha, that's funny, if you start the video at 18:10 you see the opponent armwrestling what seems to be just a forearm sticking straight up lol. No body.....just a forearm and a hand.

Garbage. That ref needs to spend less time looking at the hands and elbows and more time pimp slapping any fool hanging off and under the table doing a Statue of Liberty impersonation. I'm an above average 98 puller that likes turkey and deer hunting more than armwrestling, I work 2 jobs and have 3 kids, I still manage to workout 3-4 days a week and get on the table at least once a week, BUT I'd kill myself if this was how I had to start winning matches, or at least find a new hobby! Now, wait for it....just sayin.

see time 18:22 arm rests on his elbow or on the triceps ? Against rules to drop below in neutral or losing. He is in a neutral position = foul. Also, his elbow is off the pad while he is in this neutral position = foul.

arm resting on the triceps is perfectly legal as long as the elbow is with in the square edges of the pad, there is no rule regarding neutral or losing position when the elbow is floating but tri is touching
shoulder below the pad in a neutral or losing position is indeed a foul

All i know if i haft to pull like that to get a win it ant going to happen..Makes me wonder how some of these guys would do in a sitdown tour. If ur not strong enough to stand up with a man, then take it like a man!!! thats my O.P. (Old school) i guess..

All of you guys are missing the point here. Did you see the girl reffing the original video, she was pretty hot. I have been reffed by the best, but they don't look like she does.

Im sure mike would find some other way to win. Mike is a national champion and he won that with out the move he uses now. So i think he deserves a little more respect all u guys complaining about his move if u dont like it why dont u send him a pm and talk with him in private. I think that would be better.

I will tell u people im a mike todd fan not cuz of the move he uses to win but because he will do what ever it takes to go to the next level to be a winner. He never gives up and never gets on the board to complain if he looses he has class in my opion witch alot of athletes do not
