Mike I will check and see for you on Dish. I work for them so maybe I can get some scoop. You should be able to type in Arm-Wrstling using your controller doing a search, it will pull it up if its there

The shows (three 1/2 hour each) were/are scheduled for December 21st and 28th. The 21st show is scheduled for 3:30PM New York time.
That being said, ESPN is having us make some changes and I am not sure they will be ready for Tuesday. I will post here and at armwrestling.com when I have the final answer, which should be tomorrow morning. The shows turned out great and we have reached a new level in our search for recognition.
The April 15-16-17 show in Vegas at the Plaza, which John Burgeson and I are doing, is looking good. We have $30,000 in cash for the winners and Fox Sports Network is doing an hour special which is NOT a regional show but an International Show!!!
Great things are happening in our sport.

Dave, Thank you for letting us all know this! Thanks for your efforts as well. I met with ESPN's V.P. of Programming last year, and spoke briefly about our sport with him. I am a small fish in a big pond for what its worth:) Mike, Sounds like you have a DVR, great things arent they? My pic here is me in a Dish shirt actually, but you cant see the logo very well. My boss was at Marlyand States to watch, so I am trying to get our sport out as I can

The initial info on the April event is on the front page of www.armwrestling.com. John and I still have some final decisions to make next week regarding weight divisions and spreading the prize money. By the way, the ESPN2 show is of the Unified Nationals. We also are finishing the ESPN2 show of the World's Wristwrestling Championship. Jim thanks for your meeting with ESPN. It's a great occasion to make a breakthrough and it takes us all to make things happen. This is a breakthrough year!

Dave, My Guide is still saying Strongest Man contest. Is this wrong? I will set my TIVO just in case.
