Suprised none of the "charaters" at recent leagues/events/tournaments haven't been told to dress up or done it themselves like on C L A W S website...Soon though, soon.Especially if production Cos SAY SO, you know for the bettermenrt of the "sport"..

Lol  well heck if it's a way to get more female pullers involved in the sport then I won't complain. Seems like it was started by a couple roller derby chicks... That's where the costumes and funny personas came from. My roller derby league has a ton of strong women... Hoping to recruit a couple women |

what in the world....
Speaking of off the wall stuff- whatever became of the group that was reviving Monster Arm Wrestling a few years ago? They weren't calling it Monster Arm Wrestling, but that's what it was- you pushed against a geared handle, you didn't actually grip up against your opponent. They were getting fairly well organized from the looks of things, even though nobody in the organization seemed at all aware of the actual armwrestling events going on outside of their local-yokel events.

That is very rude on the arm and hand as the bar is an unnatural position.When I did it though there was no gear just a handlebar almost like on a bike with a bearing in the center. All side pressure, but it really hurt my hand and elbow. I had forgotten about that |

In just the little bit I read, it seems like a bit of a mockery of the sport. We've been making some steady headway in the legitimacy category. Hope this doesn't knock us back to being viewed as a WWF spectacle.

Our "sport" showcased a 6 minute match where a gorilla hung off Cadorette's arm below the table... We are WWF bound...
