Derby City Classic "Arm Wrestling" Video... Epic woofing

No way for all to get their way on a counter top. Someone needed to step up and play ref force them to neutral, wrists straight , and then cut them loose. Did kinda look to me like john didnt like what he felt when lil fella pulled early.

To bad we didnt get to see them pull. I bet john is a top roller and the other fella was gonna hook hard......classic match up.

hey deadpoked, funny story about those heinekens. my dad left a day early, and he left those in my cooler, so i traded kirkwoods buddy a few heinys for a few bud lights. when i traded them, he said he would pawn them off on sarah....lol. that cigarrette lighter opener works like a charm, dont it. i had a little side bet on john in that arm wrestling match, but thankfully i pulled up in time. after about 10 min of woofing, i knew it wasnt gonna go off. it was nice to put a face to the name roy, to bad we didnt introduce ourselves earlier, maybe we coulda threw a few back together.

take care,
joey

It was nice to meet you Joey. I agree that we should have introduced ourselves sooner. And I appreciate you and your Dad hooking me up with those Heinys in a roundaboutway. They were desperate times with the bar being closed down!

Are you going to going to US Bar Table Championships in Reno? I'm going to try to make that. TAR, easy-e, and myself (hopefully) will be there.
 
When it comes to arm wrestling, grip, positioning, and hand/wrist manipulation are everything (arm strength is of secondary importance). From what I gather when I've watched top arm-wrestlers, it's impossible to have a match-up in many cases without a mediating referee to manually position the two wrestlers, to make sure both wrestlers are in fair position. Otherwise they will spend all day trying to maneuver into an unfair position advantage before the word go, and will never come to an agreement where both are satisfied and ready to go.

John realized that the little guy was going to pull his arm all over the table to get the positioning he needed, and wasn't going to give up a neutral position in the middle of the table where he couldn't swing the leverage in his advantage. So he gave up, realizing that he couldn't talk the guy into a fair arm position, and he couldn't win giving up all the leverage (his arm looked pretty strong, but nobody's strong enough to outrun all the leverage in an arm-wrestling match). I think it was a good lay-down; even with vastly superior power, which he probably had, he couldn't win.

And by the way, excellent video. The woofing process is hilarious, and gives a lot of insight into the mood there for those of us who couldn't be there.

It wears me out....

One of the deals at Derby (and everywhere else) is the constant woofing with both parties who really dont want to do anything but woof.

I look at some guys like Beenie Weenie, and to me, that is real class.

It is like this fairly stupid Louis Award. To me, I prefer to see to warriors who want to settle it on the table verses woofing.

Fatboy and Bucktooth are both examples of a big woof and no class.

To me it is like lots of foreplay (too much and too loud) without a climax.

fair or not, after all of that woofing, if my arms were as big as John's and had the nickname "Strong Arm" you can bet your sweet ass that I would not back down after all that. He got punked on this one. Good video Deadpoked.

corvette... I think this is the second time I've agreed with you anything. I can't remember the first but I somewhat recall agreeing with you on something before.

They each have their own place in pool. I was hoping to see the match go off but just the barking back and forth was enjoyable to me by itself.

I prefer to see two warriors at the table stepping up with pride to play, not to woof constantly with no intention of making a game.

I would rather see two players playing $100 sets than the verbal masterbation of woofing....to me it is low class.

But if thats what you like, be happy.

Straight up

John didn't back out cause he was scared. They both know alot more about what's going on....John knew he had a disadvantage with his arm stretched like brent wanted, on the other side, brent knew he had a disadvantage straight up. I've seen lots of armwrestling matches like this. Some times they are physically impossible to get down and they lock up 20 times or more until they figure it out.
 
Louis Roberts Award?

You should know that the Louie Roberts Award is an excellent award and it promotes action. It is given to people that make games and stay in action the most time while at the Derby. Although it claims that the recipient can be a woofer, the power of the vote and the knowledge of the people prevails and it is always given to a deserving canidate.

Ken, you may not understand the idea of woofing completely. There are numerous reasons while people woof who want to make money gambling at pool or anything. Allow me to list some....
1. Some people obviously are idiots and do it for attention and never plan on doing anything.
2. Some guys it takes a little woofing to get them to play. Sadly, they actually have to be humiliated in front of people to get up and gamble.
3. Woofing is a sales pitch. It may take several "woof sessions" in order to achieve the desired spot or game in order to gamble to where they may have an edge.
4. Woofing also creates alot of side action, which maybe desired by one or both of the parties involved in gambling. One person may think he has the nuts and is trying to influence the rail to get involved.
5. Also, some people actually enjoy the woof sessions more than the action! Obviously not yourself, but, many folks love that piece of the puzzle and if it helps to promote things, TAR comes to mind, then I say....LET THEM WOOF! :cool:

There are more but I'm busy thinking of ways to woof at you the next year at the Derby!:o

watched from the start to the end, tells DCC atmosphere pretty well :) Action all around, betting on anything. But what was strange for me as an alien, they always were looking around being beware of cops. Is betting illegal in KY?
 
I've bent a few arms in my day and I've seen and had that look John had! He didn't want any once he felt the power:eek: . You know the minute you lock up if you like it or not, and John didn't...

Looked to me like John was just looking for his out. He seemed to be the only one concerned about the cops. I don't believe he had much intention the from the get go to arm wrestle... he was just saving face till his out arrived.
 
Blah! Neither one of them know how to arm wrestle, I'm only 6'1" 205lbs I'll beat both of them, and I'm being serious. I'll be at Derby next year for this kinda action.
 
big jhn would get drilled armrestling-

Brent drilled brian Greg in banks 3-0 banked 4 out to win last set after a 30 minute stall. He then beat efren in banks, and then played buddy hall buddy said terrible match. He came down looking for action and nobody played him drinking or sober. He's like a grizzley bear. I was there wearing my ( border patrol hat) green and gold- got some pretty interesting looks. These guys come down from the hills sticks and brought some shine with-really moonshine been family bussiness for yrs. mark
 
i know brent very well and he would hurt john for the cash. i personally asked john on tuesday at the derby what bet he would offer me (betting on myself) arm wrestling and his response was" you can't last 3 seconds" i calmly asked what can i bet . he said 2000 and i pulled the money out and said post up. he said wait a minute and went and talked to a couple of people for a minute or two. he came back and backed out of the bet saying he had a pool match across the street.
