Hit that "Breaking Bad" button. Sit back, and enjoy. Plus they have a ton of good documentaries.

I saw that a few months back and I did think it was great. The training the guy from Russia does is just out of this world.

Last night I watched "Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden." I really enjoyed it. Especially the call "Geronimo is KIA."

Thought the gal who played Vivian was hot too.

Yep, blew my mind. At that point I knew he would win, but I can't help but wonder, his prime vs. Brzenk's prime? I just don't know. His sheer size over him makes what Brzenk does even more impressive.

IMO anyway.

I remember watching ABC's Wide World of Sports back in the 70's when they carried that arm wrestling championship deal from Vegas live.

They showed like the semifinal or maybe it was the final match, and this dude's arm snapped clean in half, complete with sound!

It was possibly the most jarring thing I've seen on live TV save for the Theisman leg break.

I get squeamish every time watch anyone arm wrestling to this day.

They did a good job on that. Saw it a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. I agree, Kathleen Robertson is very attractive.

Is it what the movie Over The Top was based on?
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

I did not know her name yet as I haven't looked it up. But in that movie she was stunning except for the smoking scene where they get told the mission is a go.

I was supposed to be involved with that movie in a very weird way. I worked for a company that makes automatic snow chains and they were going to have a scene where on his way to a match or to see his son he used them. I helped install them on the truck. But the scene never made it to film or was edited out. Hey, they paid for them and I got a commission on it.

Believe it or not, that loss inspired Brzenk and he is the #1 ranked arm wrestler again... at age 48... Bagent is #2... Voyevoda retired in 2006 to focus on full time bobsledding...

If I am not mistaken, and I admit I might be, the match Voyevoda won against Brzenk was in 2004. I think Brzenk has only lost like twice in his 30 year career and for 25 straight years he was unbeaten.

There is no one better and when he lost to Voyevoda he was outweighed by about 65 pounds. I have no idea who the other guy to beat him is or if he is bigger.
