After testing Todd Hutchings’ right hand, Andrew “Cobra” Rhodes sad something very funny but also very true: “That right there just makes someone very… sad.”
If armwrestling was a popular sport, I’m sure this would have become a popular meme. 🙂

Please read the text and answer the poll. You can choose multiple options. Thank you. 🙂
Over the years, there were many attempts to popularize the sport of armwrestling. If we look only at the last 5 years, we had Game of Arms which raised our hopes up, and when armwrestlers started to believe the show will do great things for the sport of armwrestling, the show got cancelled.
Now I feel that the same thing happens with WAL. Something is not right. What happened with WAL, made us appreciate more the promoters who dedicated their lives to promoting armwrestling events for more than 20 years.
When I don’t feel good about what happens in Armwrestling, I think (as a joke) about an ancient curse over this sport.
I believe it is safe to assume that this thing we call now Armwrestling was practiced (in a different form) from ancient Egyptian times. I know this was said before about armwrestling, although I didn’t see any proof, they had many Combat Sport Activities in Ancient Egypt.
Maybe, just maybe a pharaoh / god / cat got so upset over losing an armwrestling match that he put a curse on Armwrestling. 🙂
The curse could have been like: Armwrestling will never grow big, people will never find out that the great pharaoh / god / cat lost an armwrestling match. 🙂

A sad response to finding out about the WAL being cancelled. For some this news is all too familiar. Grab your tissues. 😓 “
I have to say this was funny, and I believe many armwrestlers who know Sabin Badulescu are happy it happened this way (myself included). I posted both original videos at the end, scroll down.
But there are some deeper problems with this match:
1. It was a false start for Sabin Badulescu.
2. The referee let the match continue although Sabin started before the referee lifted his hands.
3. The referee not only let the match continue, but he said GO after the match already started, he was aware that Sabin Badulescu made a false start but he didn’t stop the match. I showed in the capture I made when the referee said GO.
4. It was a Referee Grip.
5. What would have happened if let’s say Sabin would had won the match ? I never was a fan of Arsen Liliev because he won many matches like this, on false start.
6. On running foul rules used by ARM WARS or WAL maybe this would have been ok, but at EuroArm we use WAF rules.

” 8.2 Referee Grip
8.2.1 Competitors have 30 seconds to “Grip Up”. If in that time, they have not gripped up, they will be given a “referee’s grip”. A referees’ grip consists of the following procedure. (2013)
8.2.2 Competitors’ hands are placed palm to palm by the referee, the thumbs are pushed down by the referee, the fingers are wrapped by the referee, first one competitor, then the other. As they are wrapped referee asks competitor if he/she wants their thumb covered or not. Thumb knuckles will be showing, forefingers level, wrists straight and arms centered. Competitors are not to move
from this set up.
8.2.3 Examples of movement are fingers re-gripping, back pressure, bending wrists, early start or elbow lifting off the pad.
8.2.4 Any movement by any competitor will result in a foul being given against the one that moves. ”
