I'm incredibly blessed to be involved with arm wrestling. In my brief time I've been lucky enough to chat with John Breznk, Devon Larrat, Cobra Rhodes, Dave Chaffee, Justin Bishop, and many others. True legends of the sport, and they are as approachable as any old friend. I don't believe that any other sport has the camaraderie, and humility of this one, and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. Thanks guys.

Ken is going to that boring WAL tournament (Just kidding WAL). Trust me, I already tried that one. Former starting offensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals Ken "Silverback" Blackman VS the current #1 right hander in the state of Texas (according to inthehook.com) The 6'9" tower, Casey Swift!!!!
Everyone comment if you still want to see this super match. I know I do.

I kind of feel like a schmuck promoting, but that will not happen at my tournament. People are too important of an asset to treat like garbage.

Honestly Chris, you have to decide if your relationship is more important than arm wrestling. If the choice were between my wife and kids or arm wrestling. Arm wrestling would have to go. It really is that simple. Granted not everyone is married with kids. Fortunately my wife is supporting me putting on a charity tournament here in Dallas, and she likes Adam Irrgang whom I mostly train with. So I'm good.

It's a hobby. I have to delicately balance with family time because it takes my weekends. I'm fortunate to have a job that's conducive to arm wrestling, but even John Breznk didn't give up his job for it.

I understand I have left out the smaller weight classes so I'll tell you what. I'm going to run a 175 lb class. The open winner for each arm gets 25% of the take from that class for open and amateur. Plus medals for first through third. This is a charity event, but I hope It's just the start. So I want to include everyone!!!
Oh btw, ladies are only $15 per arm!!!

If anyone knows how to get ahold of Mark Nutsch, I would like to organize a super match between him and Robbie Burnett at my tournament in Dallas on December 6th. Between that and a potential $600 payday it could be well worth his time to come down from Kansas.
