Lol at Geno holding down WV. And Wiggins the most popular in Kentucky? Is this from before he declared to Kansas?

I was thinking the same thing. Isn't like Geno was some kind of insane football player for WV. I mean he was OK, but...

Maybe WV doesn't have anything or anyone else to cheer for.

This has to be from a year ago.

Edit: I figured Cam Newton would have taken NC.

I haven't but have you seen the documentary that lead to that series? The name is Pulling John ( sounds like a gay porno but I assure you it's not) it's on Netflix and it's about an undefeated arm wrestler named John Brezink. He has been undefeated for like 40
Years or something crazy, and a few of the guys in Game of Arms are in that documentary. You should check it
Out if you haven't seen it yet.

Yeah I follow arm wrestling pretty closely. Actually thought about attending some local arm wrestling practices (well, they are 30 miles away, but thats close enough). Travis Bagent is my favorite puller.

I'm not sure how popular it is in NC but I've been thinking about finding out where they match and go watch. Seems really interesting.

is this where somebody tells me they plan to enter an arm wrestling tournament to win a brand new truck, complete with air conditioned sleeper cabin? dont forget to turn your hat around before the match starts. thats where all the power comes from.
