I think it's a good idea. The more people hear about people doing it the more they tend to join in. I don't mean go just rip some arms off. Im very careful about not hurting anybody. Far as I know the only guys arm I have ever hurt was during a tournament.
I think seeking out those "never been beat" guys are usually the ones interested that tend to armwrestle people more than your average person, hence their known armwrestling status. I personally haven't ever had anyone want to fight me either. I don't try to come off as a D%ck towards them even when I armwrestle them.
Also you are right it doesn't prove anything for me personally, but at the same time I can't just go to tournaments for awhile because money is too tight so that's just not an option right now. So my plan is to just find people who are interested locally whether I run across them, have to look for them, etc. My ultimate goal is to draw in some new people. I already drew in two pretty good guys. Michael Bianchi and Todd Immel. Todd was one of those guys known for armwrestling everyone and beating almost everyone. I beat him really bad one time and got him into training. Mike he just hadn't ever really tried it. I have another guy named Drew who I believe has the tools and genetics to be one of the best guys at 76 after a couple yrs if I could get him to do it consistently. He was also one of those never been beat guys. He tends to jump from armwrestling to powerlifting to grip sport etc....

lol Don. No I usually try to teach, but I don't EVER let them win unless they can actually beat me. I only seriously go against some of them if they bet money on it. I have gotten a couple people interested by just beating them. The problem always is they don't wanna travel to tournaments an stuff. I have always noticed though you will hear a lot of talk about these guys who haven't been beat or sometimes they just say.they are really strong. I've never ever had any guys wanna throw down though, but im also known as one of those guys u don't jump on in my area. Im morr into trying to get them competitive. Like man that dude just beat me I need to train

Ok so I have been pondering this for awhile.
I know I train and shouldn't pick on novices, but my first goal when I even found out armwrestling was even a sport was to get good enough to beat almost any off the street guys and defeat all the "never been beat" champs and to beat Todd Hutchings lol Well the second goal is a very very very lofty goal to reach that is a long ways off, but the first one isn't that difficult.
My question is, do you guys think it's a good idea to seek these local champs out and beat them all and could it possibly help grow some interest in my area to just maybe get a lot of armwrestling talk going in my local areas while I am out of the tournament loop for awhile due to financial reasons??

I think Craig still has to beat Chad to be #1 at 76. The 98 class would be a hard one to take over also. Unless Brzenk or Hutchings went back to 98's there isn't a dominating force in that class, it seems to change a lot because it's so competitive. Probably one of NA's best classes.
Despite beating Simon, I still think Craig and Mike is an interesting matchup.

Because Chad has ZERO losses right handed except to Roman since he started.pulling 76s again so he is the man until proven otherwise. 2005 is not 2013

In my own opinion and people can take it for what they will. I personally just see Chad dominating every other hand in the 76 class. I won't even say it's his arm power that's so much better than everyone. I will just say they can't even mess with his hand to test his inside power although that press is absolutely insane. It's just not gonna happen. I really love watching the other guys pull and the guys are absolute beast. I just think Chad would control every single match with any NA puller in 76's. The only one I see that would give him any problems would be that unorthodox style of Crazy George. jmo

Great news!!! Glad to hear he wasn't guilty of all of that stuff. Now maybe one day my son Roman will be able to meet the armwrestling champ Roman.

The cobra has many secrets he is just that good. Y'all can.think he trains, but a seriously trained cobra would be very very hard to beat. Me personally I just think he has shown up an.pulled for a couple yrs now. Only he knows lol
