So Breznk hooks Pushkar, then top rolls him out of the hook, then hooks him back into a press to finish. That match demonstrates exactly why he's the GOAT.

@Серёга Сижук he was still zloty tur champ in 2005. You’re making it seem like he was weak or something just because of his age. Pushkar was world class at this point already, but imo John was close to his strongest in 2006 when he beat him here.

Its in the rules that if the arm never loses contact with the elbow pad it doesnt count as a foul. I cannot recall the rule perfectly but Uncle Jon goes over it on his channel when he talks about a controversial match if you want to see

Yes, John transitioned better than Rupaul.

Bagents timing is unbelievable. He hits at exactly 0.1 seconds before the ref says go so he doesn’t feel like he should call a fault start and the opponents been left in the dust before he realises

Travis can be a jackass, but I rate him higher than most people. I think he may have been the best armwrestler in the middle of the 2000's (2005?) and he's one of the best left handed ever. Not to mention that he's damn good with his right also. He wouldn't make my top 5 or maybe even top 10, but he's one of the best

And an 87 kg Todzilla was strong!!!

The announcer is familiar when Eddie hall deadlift 500 kg, when he said on the way we go., lol 11 years after he still using it. .

-11:32 ( Hook->> Toproll ->> Press ) CMIIW

Everyone looks so big here

Travis is fast as bullet

Brzenk controls the technique he wants seamlessly and then beats your advantage.
