There is just now way to describe this event and do it justice. It was an all out battle....too much happening too fast. I would have needed 3 sets of eyeballs to fully see all of the action and take it all in. The event went smoothly and the crowd was the largest I have seen thus far at an armwrestling tournament.
There were dramatic upsets at every turn...
The production value by Fox was outstanding. The audience had a full circular view of the action. It was many steps above last years layout and from what I have been told the final production will have more post production and voice over work done to it so it should be a sight to behold when it comes this Friday.
Due to the contract we were unable to film the actual finals. (although I did get some of the beginning)
So you will have to tune in to the "Best Damn Sports Show" to witness all of the action Friday night.
However each day of this week I will be unloading all of the build up to the finals as the week progresses to the finally of the TV debut!!! Exciting...Exciting.
For members only though....so come on board. A true union of ARM TV and the show airing Friday night.
The anticipation will be unbearable by the time Friday night comes.

ARM TV PRESIDENT
Due to the length of the tournament and the late night Saturday we were unable to load anything over the weekend but it will well be worth the wait over the next few days as we post clip after clip after clip.
I want my ARM TV!!!!

I just wanted to share an email that I receive apon returning from Vegas that made my day so I thought I would share it with you. It is from the great legend....John Woolsey (John was the very first United States PRO Right and Left Hand Champion)
Gary, I just have to make a comment about the event on Saturday. I want to compliment you on what you and Dave have achieved. I also want to compliment you about what you did when Tom Nelson went up for his match in the finals. The crowd was fairly subdued when you stood up with a hoarse voice from the day and egged him on to the point that he took it and ran with it, which in turn lit the crowd into a frenzy. It was one of the greatest moments of the day. It reminded me of past great tournaments that I participated in. Great tournament, great job. 4 stars. John

On a side note...it has been said that one of the reasons our sport has never made it to the next level was because of the lack of spectators and fans in the audience. Well ladies and gentleman this was a tournament that fans of the sport could enjoy. Between three tables the action was non stop and top name stars matching up one after another. It was truly an experience....Then when it got to the finals....because I wasn't filming I was able to enjoy the show from the other side and I HAVE NEVER BEEN SOO EXCITED at a tournament before. They announced that this is going to happen again next year and if the same magic can be repeated then I say...make sure you make it out. GARY ROBERTS The GREATEST ARMWRESTLING FAN IN THE WORLD!!!!!  I CHALLENGE ANY OF YOU TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!!! YOU DON'T EVEN WANT IT!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!!! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ...ode to TB |

Send me the pics Valerie!! I was nice to see you again  Is anyone out there wondering why there is no video of Vegas up yet??? It is 5 AM and I just got home from a trip to the editing studio of Fox Sports Net. I just got the chance of a lifetime. Something I have only dreamed of. Sitting side by side to one of the top freelance editors for Fox and the Associate Producer Mike Hughes of Best D a m n Sports Show.... I want to keep it under wraps until Friday but when I left Mike and Randy said they couldn't have done it without me. WOW... I will get the video up in the morning....oh yeah..it is morning... when I wake up. Gary |

I thought the show ran around 10:30 PM CST. I am usually wrong when I "thought". I guess I should just "think" instead. ;D
