What do you expect from entering the TOP 16?
I expect to come in as prepared as I possibly can be. I expect there will be a lot of surprises and upsets that nobody thought would happen. I expect the event to be the most incredible event ever assembled! Igor’s events are second to none!
Is entering the TOP 16 distinguishing to you? A chance to advance in the world of armwrestling?
Absolutely it is! If I win and keep my elbows on the pad this time against Denis, than I will become the number one in the world! That is my main focus! But there are so many other competitors that are involved, that can not be taken lightly. It wont be an easy road to Victory.
If not TOP 16, then what?
For me , I am involved in the Game of Arms, a reality TV show that is filming now and will be airing on the AMC network in February. It’s a show about the lives of the members of 5 arm wrestling teams competing to be the best. Very exciting to be a part of this.
Is TOP 16 going to witness the great return of A.Voyevoda? Do you think he’ll manage to stand up to the top armwrestlers?
Alexey Voevoda was awesome! I hope to pull him as well. Do I think he can compete with the best today? Not until he starts eating meat again!

About the Show
Game of Arms is a look inside the raw and highly competitive world of American arm wrestling. The series follows the members of five regional arm wrestling clubs in Erie, PA, Kansas City, KS, New York, NY, Sacramento, CA and Baton Rouge, LA as they hit the road and wager their reputation, relationships and money for the sport. Game of Arms not only focuses on the technique and skill in this high-stakes world, but also the family, careers and personal struggles of each man outside of the sport. Each episode features a dramatic regional match, leading to a tournament finale where the entire cast will compete for prize money and bragging rights.
The series hails from Matt Renner and Ethan Prochnik, the Emmy Award-winning producers of Deadliest Catch, and Dan Ilani, a partner in their newly formed company, Undertow Films. ”

Game of Arms: Here is one of the professional cameras use for the shooting of the Game of Arms.
I think I heard someone say this camera is capable of shooting at 2000 ISO. Just to get it example a typical digital camera will go up to about 400. It just means this thing could practically shoot in the dark and have a highly defined video.

AMC Greenlights New Unscripted Series, King of Arms, and Renews Small Town Security
” AMC announced that it has greenlit a new unscripted series, King of Arms, a look inside the raw and highly competitive world of American arm wrestling. The series hails from Matt Renner and Ethan Prochnik, Emmy Award-winning producers of Deadliest Catch, and Dan Ilani, a partner in Undertow Films, their recently-formed company. King of Arms will follow the members of five arm wrestling clubs, and their friends and families, as they hit the road and wager their rent money, reputations and even their relationships in pursuit of victory. The 10-episode, one-hour series will premiere in the first quarter of next year, timed to the second half of the fourth season of The Walking Dead.
The network also announced that it was renewing its unique and acclaimed series Small Town Security for a third season. Small Town Security will air with the previously announced second season of Freakshow in the second quarter of 2014.
“King of Arms, Small Town Security and Freakshow all take viewers inside worlds most have never seen, populated by unique and unforgettable characters,” said Joel Stillerman, EVP Original Programming, Production and Digital Content. “We are looking forward to bringing these new and returning series to AMC viewers and are very excited to be working with Undertow Films on our new unscripted original, King of Arms.”
King of Arms focuses on arm wrestling clubs across America, embedding with teams in Baton Rouge, New York City, Erie, Sacramento and Kansas City. Each episode culminates with high-stakes mano-a-mano combat where brute strength is often defeated by technique, strategy and heart.
Matt Renner, Ethan Prochnik and Dan Ilani from Undertow Films will serve as Executive Producers of King of Arms. The project will be overseen by Eliot Goldberg, AMC’s new SVP of Unscripted Programming and Ari Mark, the company’s Director of Unscripted Programming.
Small Town Security is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant, and just plain unusual series that explores a small, family-run security and private investigation company in Ringgold, Georgia called JJK Security. Executive Produced by Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver of Left/Right Films (This American Life, Mob Wives), the show captures the day-to-day of the business, but it’s really about the curiously entertaining and oddly compelling characters that inhabit this world. ”
